[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 1081234, member: 8873"] I have been looking into ordering a new Remington 700 and out of the 24 rifles listed on their website; 8 are still available in .300 RUM, 1 in 7mm RUM, 1 in .338 RUM and 1 in .338 Lapua. That tells me something about how they see the sales of the various ultra mag chamberings, and ultimately future ammo/brass availability. My buddy that is a supervisor at the Remmy ammo plant says he hasn't seen .300 RUM made in a very long time and can't remember seeing brass in over a year. The 7mm and .338 are worse. He did say they will be doing a run of .300 ammo before this fall for the upcoming hunting season but not to hold my breath when it comes to brass. He said he expects it to all go into loaded ammo. What I would like is a new .338 RUM, but the lack of brass and ammo has me reconsidering to a more conventional .300 WinMag. As mentioned by JE, I did find a couple boxes of the cheap managed recoil ammo for a price that would rival what some guys are selling once fired brass for. The bullets will be pulled and the brass will be put to good use. [/QUOTE]
