.32-20 Shooters

[Gewehr-Guy]

Starline is now accepting backorders for 32-20 brass. get your orders in!

[35 Rem]

That sure ended fast if it just opened yesterday. :( Hard to believe they got THAT may orders so quickly. Wouldn't seem worth the bother to set up tooling to not produce more that I would expect to be ordered in a single day of less.

[Sig556r]

Dang, missed it

[HWooldridge]

Yeah, that is kind of silly. I don't have thousands of cases sitting around but enough for the foreseeable future, so it's not worth the "Black Friday" mentality for me to get an order placed.

Track of the Wolf has it in stock at the moment - better hurry!

Heck they have boxes of 500.

[Gewehr-Guy]

I checked starline's site at about 1 PM, saw they were up for backorder, and immediately sent in my order. Have been waiting on them for a couple of years. Out of curiosity, I checked again later in the evening, and they were unavailable for back order. If you need some keep checking , they may come up again soon.

They don't now. :(

I feel like a chicken in a big barnyard where the farmer feeds only a small handful of corn every now and then. If you ain't in the right place when he tosses it out, you taint gonna eat.

[Gewehr-Guy]

Starline is taking backorders again, if you missed the first go around...................order NOW

[Kai]

I just cancelled my order of 200 starline cases from ET Brass as I already have an overabundance (found a stash of 600 loaded rounds I put under the bench a while back). Someone else should grab them if you need them.

[Tall]

I just went to the Starline site. No stock and no back orders.

I missed it this time again. Oh well.

Sorry guys, it seems every time I post about them taking back orders, they close the offer. I must be bad luck!

[Green Frog]

I’d be willing to bet an engraved printing of our first president to a frosted circular pastry with a hole in the middle that they’ll keep cranking out more now that they’re tooled up and see the demand. I’ve been wrong before, but this time? I think not!

They've been tooled up for years and built their business on selling brass for old obsolete rounds. I don't see why they won't make enough to catch up and stop trying to sell common brass that everybody else makes.

[Green Frog]

There’s a difference between having the tooling and being tooled up, ie having the machinery set up for a specific job. My point was/is that as more and more orders come in while the machinery is set up and running brass with preorders on hand, it makes sense to keep running it to satisfy the demand. I don’t have any inside information with them, but that would seem to fit what I know about their business model.
The folks at Starline provide a service by making both high demand brass and some of the lesser demand calibers as they see the market develop for it. Can they immediately provide every oddball caliber that every shooter wants? No, in fact I’m still waiting for 32-40 for my pet Schuetzen rifle, but if you’ll be honest with yourself, they do a pretty good job of providing most of the brass we need.

I agree with what you are saying except that Starline started with nothing but the old nearly obsolete cartridges so they aren't a big major brass producer who is suddenly starting to branch out to make the odd cartridges and losing profit by doing so. That is their bread-and-butter business or at least it was. I doubt it would require much effort to change a production line from one cartridge to another. Especially if they have produced it before. Manufacturing cartridge cases is all basically the same process whether it's a 6.5 Creedmoor or a 25-35. There is obviously a huge demand for these old cartridges as every time they produce some, they are snapped up withing a few hours. I don't think they would be giving up anything to do some serious production for the customers who built their business. Also, it's very very frustrating that the VAST majority of the time they will not let you put in a back order so there is no way they can gauge the demand. And then they sell off large quantities to people who merely mark up the price and resell it. And finding it at any price requires a lot of luck. I know that nobody here can do anything about it but I have to vent somewhere. :)

Starline just added a notify button on the 32-20's. Still not able to backorder them but you can get notified versus constantly checking.

[smkummer]

Can someone say what Starline is asking for 32-20 these days? I believe it used to be about .28 ea. in quantity. I see 41 colt went from .58 to .72 ea.

[mehavey]

40 to as much as 50 cents/per for the few that had them in stock.
(and 28-30 cents for those that didn't) [smilie=b:

[Bad Ass Wallace]

In Australia we are paying $AU60 for a bag of 50, if you can get them.

[Green Frog]

BAW, with all the bunny busting done there in the past, I’m amazed that there isn’t a huge backlog of 32-20 brass stashed there in OZ! Did the ‘Roos pick up all of the once fired stuff and stow it in their pouches? ;)

I scrounge estate, barn and yard sales in WV for any partial boxes of ammo. The Pre-WW2 stuff in balloon-head cases may fire if noncorrosive primerscwith nickel-plated primer cups. Any which fail to go band I pull down and reload. Any older rounds with copper colored primers m just be pulled down as primers are likely both corrosive and mercuric. Virgin brass from old pull-down rounds loads OK with mild charges, 3.0-3.4 grains of Bullseye and Ideal #3118.

Midway USA has 32 WCF in stock. I bought two boxes today. Winchester brand.

[mehavey]

$80/box
(Wow:veryconfu)

[PAndy]

I sign up for the in stock notifications, with the bigger companies. Gives us a fighting chance if a limited amount comes in.

[35 Rem]

I just ordered 32-20 Starline brass from MidwayUSA a few minutes ago. Nickel only and limited to 2 bags of 100 pieces each for $37.99 each. Finally at the right place at the right time.

Track of the Wolf has it in stock at the moment - better hurry!

Of course they do, they bought as much as they could from starline. There are probably several other retailers that jumped on the bandwagon. This is the same game that was played with 22lr ammo a decade ago. Buy all the inventory, force consumers to pay higher prices.

[Jim22]

How bad do you want them?

Not that bad, my gun is over 100 years old so I don't shoot it that much. I have enough I believe to last me the rest of my life. It is a shame though that the cartridge is failing due to the 327, and the expense of cases.

IMHO, the deal single action for fun on range and field would be a Ruger Blackhawk in 32 caliber with cylinders chambered in 32 WCF & 327 FM. Gotta love that combo!
