    All current factories make what will sell . Or requested to sell. all else are seasonal ( aka obsolete). LGS are not stocking anything they can't sell. and factories don't make what they Can't sell in Bulk. . . That's it Plain and simple. They not making any Money on The few who need it. LGS are not waiting for you or me the come In and ask for it, or Buy it and have it sit in Inventory.
    get it where you can , when you can, and pay

    Some brass like the Krag seems to be run at times so it can be a waiting game. When it's available buy as much as you can. Places like Grafs and Huntington's are starting to have some made like 9.3x62 and 303 Savage. I always call Huntington's because he will tell you what they have or when he is having a run made. A couple years ago he had Norma run him 100k of 303 Savage. I can't remember what cartridge it was but I got a notice from Starline that they were going to offer a bottlenecked rifle case so that's good news. In the past they were hesitant to jump into bottleneck cases but it looks like the plunge will be made.

    I've heard that Starline is going to produce bottleneck cases for years and years. I will believe it when they are for sale. At a minimum you'd think they would start making 357 Maximum brass.

    I, by habit, still try to find 218 Bee brass, but I am very blessed to have over 2000, but I am always on the lookout.

    You guy's need to buy the book "The Handloader's Manual of Cartridge Conversions" by John J. Donnelly.

    Tells you how to convert hundreds of calibers from different brass!

    22 HP is easily made from 30-30 brass.

    Been doing it for years to feed my Savage 99 take down.

    The old logger I bought it from could not tell me within 100 how many deer he had killed with that grey ghost.

    PS the correct boolit should mike at .228.
