Starline Brass

[gregintenn]

I just placed an order for some 45 Colt brass. It says "backordered". I'm in no great hurry, but wondered if anybody here has recently ordered from them, and if so, how long of a wait should I expect?

As an aside, if you've never used their brass, it is inexpensive and is among the best brass you'll get your hands on.

Haven't bought recently. But yeah, Starline is great. They were the only source for 458 SOCOM when I started loading it.

Star line is some of the best brass you can get!!! As far as the back order thing, the last time I bought from them was 4 or 5 years ago.

They always had on/off spells with 458 brass. It was always get while you can.

Starline is great brass. Like everybody else,  they are waaay behind now, no relief in sight.

I just received an email from Midsouth Shooters,  that my backorder on 45/70 bullets are in.  Ordered Jan 12, 2021.

 I had a "be notified" request in at Midway for when they had some nickel plated 357 Starline brass come in. I check my e-mail when I get up and then again around 6-7. Notification came in at 11:00 am and it was, of course, gone by the time I checked my mail in the evening but at least they received some Starline. Maybe they are catching up.

I had the same for 10mm-I instantly upon receiving the notice I followed the link only to find all was already sold out.

Never tried with Midway, but Midsouth allowed my order to remain on BO, for 3 mos, until they got the bullets in. Then they sent me an email asking if I still wanted it.

I replied I did, they started processing the order. It's being g packed now.

Back during the Great Pmag Scare of 2012-2013, Brownell's was running a special on 10 packs of Pmags when it all flared up.  Coincidentally, I had just placed 40 of them in my shopping cart when it all blew up.  My order went rhough, but of course they were out of stock.  My order, along with apparently everybody in the US, was listed as "backordered".  Every few months, I got an email asking if I wanted to cancel or stay on the waiting list.  As I was out no money, the price was still pre-panic, and Pmags were selling at 10x what I ordered them for, I waited.  About 6 months later, I got notified my mags were shipping, and a few days later received a box with 40 Pamgs.  Sometimes, patience is a virtue ...

You can order directly from Starline and they have free shipping.

Just got a UPS email that said the brass is on the way! You can’t beat that.

[gregintenn]

They’re here! Two thumbs up from me for Starline!

I've used Starline brass in half dozen hand gun rounds plus three blackpowder rounds.  Excellent stuff in all respects.
