.445SM Brass
« on: February 11, 2011, 09:38:09 AM »
I among many others have been waiting for starline to gear up and produce some brass for the .445SM. Midwayusa has been taking backorders and the estimated availability date has changed. Most recently it was 02/10 and now website shows estimate of 02./17. I called starline and made a query there. The lady I spoke with stated that they needed about 20K more to be ordered before a run will be made. I asked her for a wild guessestimate on when???? She felt at least 3/4 months or longer.

Sure feeling better that I found some at the last Indy 1500 gunshow in Indianapolis. 50 loaded and 50 brass.....Still have 100 on backorder with midway but it maybe deer season before I see any of those.......

With any of the limited run brass, if you see any that guys have been looking for, even if it isnt what you need, just buy it and share it or at least give a heads-up. I am sure that nobody will mind giving you shipping + cost if you find what what they cant get anywhere.
