Probably going to make you buy loaded ammo and not sell brass.................well from Winchester anyway. Are you looking for a certain brand/make of brass?

If Winchester is like most suppliers, they will run a limited amount of product. That product will fill back orders first, then stock preferred distributors warehouse shelves, then the wholesale market will get a piece and eventually leftover components - the percentage produced to compensate for waste - will go into storage for future demand. The only way leftover components will get bagged and sold is if there are a sufficient number of orders to make it worthwhile.
Winchester probably has a sufficient surplus to sell bagged cases but first a distributor has to place an order.

So where does winchester brass scale from 1 to ten?.

I just read that winchester 350 legend brass SUCKS for reloading.

 

[jags]

When you have searched everywhere you can think of for a year or 2 and can't find any that Winchester brass ranks about a 100 on a scale from 1 to 10.

If it helps, I’ve never had a problem with Winchester .35Rem brass. It seems to last about as well as R-P, Federal and *—*. The only .35Rem brass I have had problems with is Hornady - but I don’t think they make .35Rem LeveRevolution ammo anymore and I don’t think they made their own brass when they did sell loaded .35Rem ammo.

Sweet baby Jane! $46/20 + shipping??!!??
Wow! I still have Power Points with the $8.49/20 price tag. Okay, now I feel old.

Real shame with the 35 rem such a great cartridge and ammo and brass are such a pain, not much better then the 35 in a 141 or 336. I'm really looking to try the 360 bh, should be fine I shot a 35/30-30 in the past and liked it a lot to. If it matches the 35 rem for speed and weight bullet things would be much easier.

My latest ”35 Rem” rifle is a 360 Buckhammer. There is plenty of ammo right now for it which may be a part of the reason very little 35 Rem ammo is being made since they use the same bullets.

What is quite baffling is that I bought 200 rnds of 360 BH for $24/box. Couldn’t say why 35 Rem ammo is $46 when it is so very similar. I guess 30-30 brass supply is more available and that is 3/4 of a what 360 brass is.

One of the main reasons I bought into the 360BH was because I have a 35 Rem but very little ammo. The first Time I saw 360 ammo for sale and how cheap it was, I bought 100 rnds of it and then bought the first 360 rifle I saw.

I don’t really know what the future of 35 Rem ammo is but it seems like there is only a small amount of effort being put into keeping it available.

Greed my man, simple greed.

Just loaded up some 32 Win Special, like the 35 Rem it isn't supported much these days. Seems like the push for the lever guns is on the "new" straight walled rounds which lets them sell more guns.

 

[9x56MS]

The current ammo and components hoarding craze has really thrown the ammo and component makers schedules out the door. This has lead to opportunistic (greedy) pricing and shortages. Prices won’t come down and availability won’t go up until demand goes down. Simple supply and demand economics.

I never had a problem with Winchester brass from factory loaded ammo. BUT…their component brass is a disaster. I think they mix in a good percentage of factory reject brass. I had bought 2 50 ct. bags of .30-06 brass a couple of years ago where about 80% had severely out of square necks. There were also a handful from each pack that were up to .013 shorter than SAAMI spec headspace.

The good news for us .35 Rem shooters, is with the seeming popularity of the Buckhammer, one day there should be .358 core-lokts available as component bullets again.

I think part of the reason for the .35Rem’s woes is its got a few bad raps over its long career: difficult to reload because of the short, thin neck; underpowered compared to more “modern” designs; small selection of bullets because it’s a levergun cartridge (and other than dress up “Cowboys” nobody shoots them anymore); it suffers from short range and poor accuracy; etc, etc…
I’ve heard all of them more/worse over the years - even the few articles I’ve read praising the Ol’ Thirty-Five have been a bit backhanded - but it seems to have stayed popular. Because it works.
No one worries about 0.0005MOA and two mile shots with a 35 - which doesn’t give gun rag writers much to talk about. Seems these days that’s not going to sell ammo.

Winchester makes limited runs of non-current calibers. Brass will be available. Don’t miss it.

About 12 years ago they made a run for 358 Winchester, selling loaded ammo for insane prices. When the brass came available a short time later, I bought 1000 cases.

 

[Dan Forrester]

GeoDudeFlorida: What problems have you had with Hornady 35 Rem brass. They are the only ones who I see still catalog it.

I figure there will be one last brass run for this caliber and that will be it. I plan to really stock up.

Thanks,

Dan

I have had cracked necks on some of my reloads but not a lot.

It to wanted a 35 rem but brass scared me away. They have the gun at the local wally world no ammo. I want a 35 and if the BH hangs around I will buy two lifetimes of brass then the gun.

Does the 35 suffer from way over sizing the same as 30-30. I'm not a high class annealer but I do torch my 30-30 when I find it, before it enters my normal batch. I find tons of splits.

Not so I have noticed I am usually on my 3rd or 4th reloads before they start showing up.

They are cut short for the FTX bullets, which I don’t load. The short length means my crimping dies don’t work and with a tube magazine rifle I like a fairly good crimp.
I made it work by modifying the collet but it was a pain so I’d rather not repeat the experience.

I have a Redding profile crimp die for 45-70 they make just for the FTX short cases…
I haven’t checked, but they may make one for .35….??

That sure would make reloading easier with the FTX bullets and cases. They’re pretty good bullets really just a pain to deal with.

The cool thing if the 360bh dies tomorrow it will still be easy brass to buy or make your own, even buying hydro formed brass from someone should be easy and affordable.
