Is this stuff going to be around for a while or should we be stocking up?
What do you guys think?

I'm more concerned with the brass and, yes, I have stocked up.

I can find the ammo for .75 a round; what would be a good price for new brass?

Graf has it at $.33 to $.27 per round depending on how much you buy. Natchez, Mid-South and Midway don't list the the .250 or .300 brass at this time.
Savage...never say "never".

Glad you guys brought this up. I just checked my inventory and find I only have 100 of the 300 Savage and only 150 of the 250-3000.
I need to get an order in to Graf's pretty soon.

Yes, I think you should stock up & also 300 Savage which has become hard to buy in factory ammo in northern Minnesota just this past hunting season. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

I buy the 87 grain factory boxes of ammo whenever I see them at a gun show. More accurate in the older barrels and quite adequate for whitetails.

I think Jack just said a mouthful!Ten years ago +/-,303 Savage ammo was virtually unsaleable.Writing is on the wall.Buy up Savage caliber ammo and put it up.Especially if it's made by Win. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
When it comes to choosing friends....I'm at an age where I'd rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.

Here is another source for 250 and 300 brass. http://www14.inetba.com/tandtreloading/item148769.ctlg I posted the 250 link but 300 is also listed.

Did you guys see that the 2005 issue of CABELAS Shooting catalog has 303Sav ammo listed. Under "obsolete Ammo" item XS-21-5402-196 for $40/box of 20.
The original point and click interface was a Smith & Wesson.

I think the best buy on brass is the Bertram stuff at Graf's.
There have been several bad reports on the OWS crap. 30-50 % of it splits when it is fired.
