BA has been bereft of .25-20 SS brass for a long while, since Jamison (Captech) went belly up. Bertram brass is spottier than spotty, and is of sub-par quality IMO. I scrounge .25-20 SS brass whenever I stumble onto it- for making R2 Lovell and .22 Maximum Lovell cases out of it. (That is mainly why I don't care for Bertram brass- it's soft and doesn't stand up to the rigors of the Lovell wildcats worth a hoot, in my experience. I jealously guard my stash of Lovell brass like it were the Crown Jewels.)

Even .25-20 WCF brass is scarcer than honest Democrats these days, but at least can be made from .32-20 brass with a little patience.
