    30-30 seams to be in high demand. 45-70 kinda as it gets snatched up asap when posted same with 35 rem but not sure if it is in high demand.

    For pistol I would say 357/38. For me its 10mm.

    375 Winchester, but not the thinner 30/3- that has been reformed. The original thicker brass will hold the pressure of the original round.

    Not all 223 brass is suatable for conversion to 300 without turning or reaming due to case wall thickness near where the new neck ends up. Some are a few thousand thicker in that area.

To some it is also a lot more work than they want to do.

    I'd have to say .38 double groove wadcutter brass. Never enough. Never enough.
    .44 special, good to have a stockpile of this.
    9mm out my ears, no need for that.

    Picked up 600 cases of once-fired Winchester brass in .40 S&W for $30 a couple of months ago at the range where my monthly match is held. Since 99% of my .40 S&W loads are low power match loads, and I can pick up most of my brass at each match, 600 will last me years.

    But I would like to find some .35 Whelen cases and 10mm cases.

    Ah, that makes sense. I'm retired military still working on base so no shortage of LC brass but I do have that list of incompatible brass. I have an outside neck turner but don't bother with "bad" brass, I just use it for 5.56 plinking loads. I'll have to check on .277 Wolverine, for S&G because I'm using LC, also Starline and Hornady now have .277 WLV head stamped brass, but I haven't heard anything about issues with brass.

    There is no demand for 220 Swift!

    I see stuff listed for 220 Swift with no takers and not even any interest.
    Right now a neck turning set in S&S. For Christmas it was free brass. I also seem to remember unwanted dies.
    I don't know anyone that has a 220 Swift and I have been unsuccessful finding anyone that wants 220 Swift brass, etc.

    Can you form nickel brass? If so, then I just might have to PIF some!

    I don't believe I have ever seen any 450 Bushmaster either as a PIF or for sale/trade.

    30 carbine. It seems to get bought before I can get to it, every time.
