    For my 35 Rem fellow brass grubbers...

    Brand new brass at Optics planet: https://www.opticsplanet.com/hornady...-RIFLE-CC-8600

    Scroll down to see. Not exactly cheap, but I have not seen it offered in a number of years.
    When you care enough to send the very best, send an ounce of lead.

    Looks like a lot of oddballs are available - except for 257 Roberts of course, lol. :-/

    That's not cheap but on the other hand it's not unreasonable for a cartridge that is only seasonably available. If I didn't already have about 400 new cases plus a couple hundred used I would jump on a few boxes myself. The way I look at it, a gun is worthless without brass so you pay what you have to for a lifetime buy of brass up front and then forget about it.

    I was pleased and surprised to see .218 Bee and a few other calibers that have been as rare as chicken lips on their list. The real disappointment was to see so many calibers on the "backorder" list, such as 30-40 Krag. Maybe, someday....

    6mm Remington is on that list and it is an easy neck up from 0.244" to 0.257".

    Yes thx; but Hornady should have made them the "right way" to begin with.

    Has anyone actually received anything from Optics Planet recently? I've had good luck with them for a few years but I ordered some new 45-70 brass in September... Got two emails since then, apologizing for the delay, "it's taking longer than expected to put your order together."
    Warning: I know Judo. If you force me to prove it I'll shoot you.

    I have an order open from 12/9/20 for some Speer 4360 357 sig bullets. Granted I have not seen them anywhere but Optics Planet is not the same as they used to be. To many places blame the unmentionable on everything.

    I recently got an order but it took nearly 6 weeks.
