280AI brass availability - 04/29/17
Like others, I've been looking all over for Nosler 280AI brass. I was in Atlanta at the NRA annual meetings and the Nosler booth/display was the first place I visited. I asked the gentleman there what was the latest story on the brass, given that late last year Nosler had a press release of sorts saying the brass was on the way.
He rolled his eyes and told me they "have no idea when we'll ever see some". He acknowledged they were receiving many requests for the product, but could not give me the first hint at when it might be available, if ever.
Just my opinion, not a fact, but he appeared to stop just short of saying something to the effect that it's just not going to happen. He then said that the brass is outsourced, that they had no control over supply.
I don't know, but if I was a betting man I wouldn't be surprised if they just drop it from the product line in the future, possibly just concentrating on loaded ammo for that cartridge.
Sad. Boy, I'd love to be wrong about what I thought he was implying yesterday.
