Does anyone have any dies or cases they are thinking of unloading lol as I've just put a A-bolt behind the counter at my local gun shop. Would consider factory ammo but couldn't get it until my variation comes through

thanks

Rob

Honestly, I wouldn't recommend starting off with s/h brass for this cartridge. The case is very 'robust' and you may find difficulty in re-sizing brass fired in another rifle to fit your chamber.

Treat yourself to some new brass and do it right.

Wilson & Wilson usually have W-W brass in stock at a fair price - if you're feeling wealthy there's Norma from March Scopes.

We use W-W brass with good results.

You say you've reserved a Browning A-Bolt in .300 WSM - asuming that this is a sporter-weight rifle - I hope you have robust shoulders shakeshout

Thanks for the advice

The .300 has a heavy barrel with thumbhole stock.

Evening , unfortunately wilson and wilson have sold out of 300 wsm brass along with the rest of the uk so far as i can find. If anyone knows a source of winchester 300wsm brass i'd be grateful. If not its norma for me.

Cheers phil

Norma brass ought to be be obtainable from either March Scopes or 1967Spud - you could try Edgar Bros to see if they have any W-W brass.

Otherwise try European dealers.
