Picked up 2 boxes of empty brass at the show last month for 4 bucks each, 32 at the range in the last 2 visits and someone on the other side of texas has I want to say 70 listed for 13 bucks. I just buy new as much as possible and shoot it out. Can get plenty of it at sporting goods stores in houston for about 25-28 per box.
I think most of mine will be limited to online purchases, I will end up, probably, ordering from Buffalo Arms Company. We have a couple of places that carry powder and primers, but not usually anything in the way of brass. I might take a trip down to Gander Mountain in Fayetteville, last time I was there they had reloading stuff, but I cannot remember anything about brass. Still worth a trip to look.

I lucked out today. Went to a flea market with my son in Lynchburg, Va (visiting) and found a guy with a plastic bin full of .35 rems, gave him $15 and when we got home, had over 400 empty cases, some of it looked new (no Primers, very shiny inside). Buddy next door said I should go buy some lottery tickets while my luck was still hot.

I've been buying 35 rem hornady leverevolution. I can shoot either RP or Hornady with the same POI and no pressure signs out of my 336. The LE ammo goes for $25-30 around here. Good Luck finding some.
I just read about converting 308 brass to 35 rem brass on this site. It is a little labor intensive but could keep you shooting for free.
ya know guys we have a sister site ABT, you can find pretty much whatever you want by trading, i got most of my 1x cases there.
I traded for a '60s 336 in .35 rem and found a couple of sources on here for 1x brass that were very reasonable. Then I traded 30-30 brass 1/1 with a local reloader. Then I bought 100 new RP loaded ammo for $0.35 @ locally. Took 7 month, but now I have plenty. Even a blind hog finds an acorn every once in a while.

I was looking for some 35 Remington a couple of years ago and found the same situation. As I recall, I either ordered it and had it backordered, or I signed up for one of those “Notify me when it’s in” offers on one of the online retailers. I believe it was Midsouth Shooter’s Supply, but it could have been Midway.
I think the manufacturers only make so much brass per year and when that runs out, you just have to wait until they do another run of that cartridge. Unless you’re needing the brass now, I’d wait a few months and see what happens.
Wonder what kind of numbers it would take to get a group buy?
thehighroad.org someone is selling Winchester 35 Remington in the buy sell trade section.
22-250 is pretty close and may work in a pinch see below:
I thought .22-250 was a step-child of the .308 Win?
If so, just use the link I posted earlier in the thread to reform .308...
The 22-250 is a necked down Savage 250.

The post I linked earlier would still apply, as you will need to turn down the base and rim no matter which family you use...
I'd still rather neck up a .308 to .35 than a .22...
For pete's sake...
I keep refering to my 'earlier post', and it is in a DIFFERENT thread...
I apologize:
