Winchester 300 WSM

I just got an email from Midway USA ,

Winchester 300 WSM brass is DISCONTINUED ! ????

Not that it should surprise me, but does this indicate a Midway policy when its been so long since they've gotten any
or is this from Olin Winchester manufacturing?

Now I have an email with the same message for Winchester 300 win mag brass *** !!!!

Well they have plenty of Norma 300 wsm brass. It is much better than Winchester brass. And they carry the Nosler brass which is quality brass pre-prepped and pre-sorted. I haven't used it and it is pricy but I wouldn't hesitate to.

I can attest to the consistency and quality of Norma brass.

But Winchester has always been my go to brass , I'm familiar with its tolerances, stress capabilities, annealing tolerance and also its limitations.
Looks like Norma will be filling the void.

Seems to be a common email. I just got the same for the 284 Winchester.

The on-line Winchester ammunition website still has a SKU # for 300WSM brass. I really believe Midway is just not re-ordering this product, and it is still being manufactured and available at times.

23, the last time I ordered Winchester brass on line did it for me. They were for my hunting pal's new rifle. From a bag of 100, seven pieces were unuseable, 4 with folds in the necks, 2 with globs of brass on them and 1 with 1/2 a flash hole. I couldn't believe that stuff, weirdest defects ever. The dealer did take it back and I found some Nosler locally. Perhaps Midway has issues with Winchester on several levels and decided to call it quits. Many like Winchester brass and swear by it. Just my experience.
