    Dear Starline:

    Gentlemen and women:
    I know you get requests by the bucket load on a daily basis. Here is mine: After rediscovering the .30/.32 family of pistol cartridges thanks to the .327 Federal Magnum and your excellent brass, I took another look at the .30 Super Carry and am now shooting and loading for it. I don't know what modifications it would take to the drawing and forming process you use to produce .32 French Longue, but surely it wouldn't take much more to produce .30 Super Carry. There is a small but growing cadre of dedicated .30 SC shooters out there who would be forever grateful -- and thrilled to buy your product.
    Thanks for listening!

    add .22 Hornet to that prayer.....
    “You should tell someone what you know. There should be a history, so that men can learn from it.

    He smiled. “Men do not learn from history. Each generation believes itself brighter than the last, each believes it can survive the mistakes of the older ones. Each discovers each old thing and they throw up their hands and say ‘See! Look what I have found! Look upon what I know!’ And each believes it is something new.

    Never hurts to "vote." Take two minutes and email Starline; 100 keystrokes and "send." They are not mind readers: info@starline.com

    These men and their hypnotized followers call this a new order. It is not new. It is not order.

    They CLAIM that they still make .480 brass; they just haven't done a production run in about 2 years, due to low demand. I'll wager that at least 50% of the people buying their .475 Linebaugh brass are trimming it down to .480 length.

    I've got some spare .257 Roberts brass laying around...

    Don't you guys ever check GunBroker?
    The biggest waste of time is arguing with the fool and fanatic who doesn't care about truth or reality, but only the victory of his beliefs and illusions.
    There are people who, for all the evidence presented to them, do not have the ability to understand.

    Post a WTB here.

    I imagine every forum member has some sort of brass they’re not using.

    Im a little leary of mystry brass . I need to get a good inspection process and the ability to anneal . In the mean time ive been having some success putting 270 brass through a 7x57 form die cutting it down and then putting it through my roberts ackley improved die. Barrell needs to be profiled and I need to make some decisions about what stock I want so its sat neglected.
    I do find it a little odd there is nothing in that family of cartridges offered?

    +1 for 35 Remington even if they only do a 1 time run so people can stock up. Remington, W-W and Federal likely will not make component brass again.

    IMO you have to make it easy for Starline. Random requests are likely ignored. The really odd ball requests are "shop humor".

    Start with a group buy folr something that has decent volume...like .22 Hornet? Contact Starline and get a quote for 10k cases and 25k cases. They will respond to that.

    Poll the forum and see if there is enough interest. Like we used to do with mold buys.

    Manufacturing plants do not make money on inventory, and they have a minimum run size to be profitable.

    A couple of hundred cases for your gun is important to you but not to Starline. You have to make it important to them. "Banked" orders have a chance of success.

    I would like to see 32-20 available, or at least on backorder.
