It's been a long time since there has been any 7mm wsm brass available through regular channels. Does anyone have an "in" at Winchester who can find out if any 7mm wsm brass is coming ? I purposely didn't run out and buy every last thing I could because I didn't want to add to the panic but I'm questioning that decision now. Really don't want to have to form from 300 wsm and it's not like there is tons of that around either. Getting frustrated !
7mm wsm brass...when ?

I heard the next production run should put brass on the street in October.
That's f'n wonderful 
I leave for Montana to hunt elk the 18th of October. I'm down to 47 pieces of 3x fired brass and a newly barreled rifle. I'll make due but this shortage has been ridiculous. I sure wish Lapua would crank some out.

I feel your pain. Winchester is still the ONLY manufacturer. Love the cartridge though so I will form my own brass if it comes to that. What with the shortage of 180 Bergers I'm not so sure that just getting the brass will be enough as I'm running a tad low on those too!

I read Brian's comment in that thread that all new bullet development is on hold until they catch up. On which page was the comment you reference located?

All I see is this:
"No news on the 230 Hunting Hybrid, or any other new bullets for that matter. We're just doing our best to produce the existing bullets. When the demand backs off and we catch up a little, there are a number of new bullet projects which will move forward."

That explains it - we are talking about two different threads. There are only 3 pages worth so far on the thread that he put up today and since he put it up today, I'd go by the quote I referenced. They are not caught up.
