Happy days! Now, for the same cost as inter-web used brass, one can buy loaded ammo. Bargain!

Is winchester ( silver box ) still being made in the 1/year runs?

I bought some as recently as 2 years ago maybee. It's not surperb brass, but it works. about 5% neck splits.

46.75 for 25 rounds?

OUCH! Two bucks a pop. But, with the shortage of brass, both in the reloading market and in my shop, I'm tempted.

46.75 for 25 rounds?

Yup! that's $1.87 per round but still better than no ammunition available at all for people with guns but no ammo. As for me I'll just keep reloading for my Bee.

I have 300 cases for my bee all winchester. watching how you size makes a big diffrence in case life as do the loadings. Ive used Hornady brass in other calibers and it was good consistant brass with decent wall thickness and weight variations were low. Id expect the same from the 218 bee brass. 22 hornet 218bee along with some others is going to be harder and harder to find in the future

The Winchester silver box I shoot averages about 5% neck splits I virgin brass.

I have 60's vintage REM CB brass I'm working thru slowly, with many reloadings on it.

I had to wait a while to get some new brass for my .218 Mashburn Bee but Winchester finally made a batch and I got 500 so I won't need any for a while!

I looked at the link and they list the unloaded brass now, looks to be $1 a piece.

[Soundguy]

Ouch!

At least its NOS

Now if I could only just find some .25-20 WCF brass up here in Canada!

:-(

[country gent]

Keep in mind most bpcr specialty brass is that much or more a piece if it can be found. It is an investment and handled properly will last a long time

[Soundguy]

If the necks weren't so paper thin, even longer.

The last box of 50 winchester 218 I picked up ran $80. Maybe 4 years ago? This sounds about in line with that.

Picked up 7 boxes 218 bee hornaday brass (350 rnds) for under $25 each early this year out of Midway. ff to m bee 0 failures so far did uniform flash hole. Added them to 200 rnds picked about 1 year early at $35 a box at lgs. They go quick. Have a nice day Don K
