You might try Custom Brass and Bullets. They show .600 NE in Horneber Brass, but I didn't call to see if it was in stock or not.

A lot of people don't like the Bertram Brass, but it is available here:

Try buffalo arms.

Did you decide to keep the 600?

while i have it it must be kept in order,how about kynoch 600NE solids in box

Bertram has some 600 I believe. I have reloaded some of this brass in
600 NE for 5 hot loads and they are fine. Nothing wrong with it in my experience.

i do use bertraam wanted to try another maker

I just looked on Captech International's website, they make the Jamison brass, and they stop at .577.

HDS...?

Bertram at Huntingtons - 600 NE cases

Gents:
I've a half dozen head stamps I shoot in my .600 and don't notice a difference. I like BELL brass and I guess I can state they give me a few more reloads but all perform well as the pressure is low in a .600. I average 20 to 30 reloads before the bases split or separate. I do have a trim die but rarely use it as stretching is minimal. I've been told Bertram is soft but I don't know. I shoot BELL, HDS, HH, WR, Kynoch, and other(s). The biggest difference is internal capacity. With RL-15 all is fine but with the slower 4831 the case if filled to the base of the bullet with a traditional 900-grain Woodleigh and impossible to use the longer 900-grain banded solids from Barnes with the thicker brass and lower capacity.

I've about 20 boxes of brass and 35 boxes of Woodleigh bullets and a mould for casting. I'm set for life.
Glad you are keeping and shooting your rifle.

Nothing wrong with Bertram but I will say that 600NE brass falls into three categories:

Heavy ~ 600gr/case - Bertram
Medium ~ 465gr/case - BeLl
Light - Kynoch, H&H

Capacities are slightly different due to brass thickness so the "Heavies" should be substituted for the "Lights" with the same powder charge expecting the same velocities and regulation.

Like Cal states, 600NE pressures allow for more than a dozen reloads per case and I've never needed to trim one.

As to finding some Kynoch brass - my first stop would be Ken Buch who may have or be able to get some once-fired brass.

Kynoch also sells directly - or used to - I haven't checked in a few years. They are good about answering email inquiries

4 or 5 years ago new Kynoch brass in 600NE was $12-15 per case while once fired was $7-8.
