That's been my experience. If the desired item is listed as being able to backorder, it's usually not too long before it ships, maybe a couple weeks.

I mostly have VERY good luck placing backorders with them. It took a year to get .222 and .45 Auto rim brass though.... It has to be a good business model to be able to have most of a production run sold before you start up the line  As far as I know they never raised their prices either.

I think your problem was probably due to ordering unique cartridges.

I got so accustom to searching for components during the shortages that I bought Starline brass when it shows up as available for back order or in stock almost on auto pilot. I need to stop doing that and just focus on loading what I have in stock.... It's a good problem to have....

Loaded .223 at our local BiMart, $449.00 per thousand. Winchester ball! How much you paying for brass per thousand?

Agreed, but at the range my grandkids make short work of ball ammo. I save most hand loads for myself. We don't have pdogs. But we have squeaks, I use the 17 hmr on those mostly. Might even get some shooting next week, snow melts and a warm day or two, will bring them out!

I would love to see the model they use to determine when to make a run of brass.
I wonder if they are making brass for other commercial users and when one of those orders comes up they just throw in an extra million or two for Starline sales.
45-70 was listed as "Back Order", someone on the net said likely available soon, month or so later I had a box in the mail!
Fortunately or unfortunately I likely have a lifetimes supply of brass on hand for any caliber that I shoot . . . and some that I do not . . .
Well . . . maybe not 7.92X57!

My days of loading 45-70 ammo to dangerous game stopping levels are well behind me now. The 250 45-70 brass I bought from SL should last well past me when loaded at moderate cast bullet levels.
