Remington runs these along with other cases in batches. Reed's (a sponsor here) had some a while back, but do not know if they still do. They are due to run another batch at any time, just do not know when. I think all sources have dried up for now and we are all going to have to wait until they make their new run. BTW the new 17 Fireball cases are due out about the same time. I think they use the same equipment to run both of them, just the 17 uses slightly different dies in the end processes. I am waiting on the 221 cases too, I have 3 guns that digest them. If I have to, I will make some out of 223 cases, but would prefer to wait for original head stamped cases, just too much work.

Also check with GBO Sponsors Midsouth Shooting Supply and SSK Industries. Both usually have it in stock.

Definitely search widely and be patient if necessary. It is regularly available, but right now we just need to be patient in acquiring components.

Try calling Gunstop in Minnetonka, MN and see if John will mail order you some. Or try calling Wolfs Den in Hugo, MN and see if Brian or Gary will mail order you some. They often have it on hand.

The only place I seen them in stock lately is Natchez. Mid South was out yesterday. Get ready to dig though, they were around $ 35.

I knew Mid South was out and have been out for a while. I just went to Nachez and they are $34.29/100 unfortunately they are out of stock too. I really think the available stock has dried up. We are just going to have to wait until Remington makes another run. Mid South said that the 221 Fireball cases were over due. I think Remington is going to make a run soon, just can not tell you when. When they become available again they are not going to be cheap. I am guessing any where from $32 to $36/100.

Thanks all,
 I've tried every supplier I can find Midsouth, Cabelas, Midway USA, Natchez, Cheaper Than Dirt, and Many others . None to be had. I Guess I'll just have to wait.  Thanks
