If brass were available would you buy "just in case"?

Still have 257 Weatherby dies,7 mag dies and i think some 327 ammo, 32mag brass and some bullets guns are long gone. Also 45 colt brass and bullets. Gun is gone too but those in a pinch could be shot im the 460. Reloaders are accumulators.

I not only have brass for cartridges I don't have a gun for, I also have the dies and at least one bullet mold for all of them too

As to brass, maybe close to have all I need at this point in life. Recently came into new Starline 480. Found someone in need to send some of my gently used Hornady to. I'll add to this thread, keep others here in mind when you find a real deal on brass known to be difficult to find. It is already done by some here.

I like to keep extra new brass on hand, as well as a working quantity of reloadable brass for normal use. Always on the lookout for needs and wants for friends as well. I’ve ordered new runs from Starline to keep ahead of the game as well. Better than being behind.

I have a plastic tote full of bags of new brass, basically every caliber I shoot 100-500 cases. Now that might not sound like a lot but considering I’m lucky to shoot once a week anymore it’s basically a lifetime supply considering how long pistol brass lasts.

The only thing I might be tempted to pick up is 327 brass, that seems to get loose primer pockets quickly.

Hey Matt56,

I just got my notice from Starline. They are shipping 327fm.

Ordered some 38-40, 45 ACP and 10mm last year and all of a sudden the 38-40 was out. The oder is still on record but was stocking up in plans to secure a Ruger 38-40/10mm last year. Still waking on my brass.

Yup! I had been collecting 6.5 Grendel brass, bullets, dies with no rifle. The last thing I had in my hands (I just recently picked up) was the Howa 1500 mini bolt action rifle. When it comes to brass...I'd rather be looking at it than looking for it.

I do as well. Bought 250 pieces of .280 Rem brass two years ago for a .280 AI rifle that should be finished in the coming months.

I just ordered 250 Starline 357 Maximum brass for the weapon I will pick up in a couple weeks. Case in point... I dont even have the gun yet. LOL.

I've been buying Starline 6.5 Grendel brass when I can since my much older stock of Hornady brass is getting a bit worn out.

On occassion, I have purchased relaoding dies and/or brass for guns that I didn't currently own. Mysteriously, that always led me to purchase a gun, just to utilize that which I had already bought.

Thank goodness I thought I was the only one!

.....no.

Closest I have been is being given a few boxes of .400 CORBON. Found a cheap barrel and it dropped right into a 1968 Colt Government Model I had...

Silly me, I was in a gun shop the other day and found some once fired 338 Federal brass ( I don't own a gun for it ).  Looked at it briefly, it was clean and looked like it was in good shape, but I was in a hurry and didn't check the head stamp.  When I got home and was going to count it so I could offer it up (150 pieces), I realized that it was LC head stamp.  I'm thinking 308 formed to 338...duh!  Anyone want some free 338 formed brass for the cost of shipping?     BTW, the gun shop has about 600 more pieces if anyone is actually interested.
