Unfortunately, we are both in the same boat. If you find any extra, please let me know! ADG says that they are running a batch in mid-June. Hopefully, we can snag some from that batch at the latest. Hope this helps.

That makes three of us! I don't understand why Peterson or Alpha haven't jumped at making this too!

I emailed alpha asking the same question. They were non committal but let's face it. Why spend the money on r/d when they can't keep up on demand for inventory they already have developed.

That seems to be the response a lot of the manufacturers are giving lately. Oh the times we live in...

Peterson took on the 300 prc. I feel that there's enough 7 saum lovers/ users to warrant another manufacturer to take it on. I'm hoping adg makes a good run of it this go around. The 6.5 prc adg was gone soooo fast.
Make 4 of us
Have you tried resizing 300 SAUM to 7mm SAUM? Seems like 300 SAUM is more available...

I use Remington 300 SAUM brass in one of my SAUM rifles, ADG in one and have used a bunch of Norma. The Remington 300 SAUM brass, I just size down with a set of Redding bushing dies and turn the necks mainly to clean up and consistency. There is just a lot of case prep with the Remington (flash holes uniformed, necks turned, bushing sizing etc.)but once it's done and fire formed, it shoots well.

I just got some 300 SAUM to resize. Waiting on other gun parts, so I have time. But as of the last two years, find it when and where you can.

How's the Norma holding up? I've heard mixed reviews on it.

I haven't lost a piece yet and I have at least 4 firings, maybe 5 on some with no issues. I annealed after 3 firings and the primer pockets are still fine.

Would you mind sending me a message with some details of what you use (bushing sizes, etc.) and how you do this, please? I don't know how to message directly. I've been reloading for a few years now, but I have never changed brass to this extent. I would appreciate any help that you are willing to offer!

I will look when I get back in town and see what bushing is in my die for necking down. Some people that I know do this in two steps but I do it in one and then use an expander. I will message you when I have everything in front of me. I use a K&M neck turning kit (21st century makes a nice one as well) to turn my case necks to begin with. You may not even have to turn the necks, depending on type of brass and chamber dimensions. I will message you in a few days.
