Well I’ll believe it when I see it but I got an email yesterday which I followed up with a phone call to pay for 500 pcs of Starline .480 brass.
Got a shipping notification today for the order I placed on 09/03/22.
I guess patience has paid off.

Dunno... I had to look it up. 480 is an area code, no an interstate highway designation, um, a video resolution? or the year of the Battle of Thermopylae? No, it's one of the newest handgun calibers that sits for the longest and has the most paltry model selection on Gun Broker :-) Egads, why didn't they call it the .480 Honady or .480 HR (Hornady Ruger) :-) I think it may have had a better chance. Anyway, I've fed mine mostly .475 brass but if Starline does churn out a batch, I'll buy some. |

At least SOMEONE is supporting things we've invested money in and want to use. I'm a fan of Starline for that above all else.

They are still showing no backorders on 480.

They are still showing no backorders on 480. I asked if I could get 1000pcs and the woman on the phone gave me a pointed “no” so I’m guessing they’re not even going to fill all the backorders they already have. |

I hope they made a run of it and didn't just find a crate in the back of a warehouse.

I will be calling them in the morning to hopefully order 1k of them... (now to start looking for the 480 Ruger snubby I always wanted.)
