[QUOTE="Jerry M, post: 1462141, member: 6330"] Not telling anyone not to buy BUT if you look through P. O. Ackleys book Handbook for Shooters and Reloaders many cartridges have been recycled over the years. Sometimes with different names but recycled. The problem with new cartridges is that you will never know if they will last. I built a .260 Remington right before brass and ammo became very difficult to find. I rebarreled to .308 Win as I had a steady supply of both. About 6 years ago I looked into getting a .25 WSSM upper for an AR. I still have not done so as brass and ammo have never really been available. As stated above 6.5 GAP and 6 mm HAGAR seem to have come and gone with one major run of brass and ammo. I did follow the advise of buying brass before having the barrel reamed. I bought 1000 6.5 Remington Magnum cases before having a 40X rebarreled to that caliber. But I also shoot a .300 H&H for which I have enough brass to toast the barrel. Procuring brass before hand is not a bad thing... [/QUOTE]
