Does anyone know where I may find some new, Winchester .300 H&H Magnum brass?

The major mail order retailers are out of stock.

Thank you.

Good luck... There were a few threads about this a few monthes back. I think most of it has been scrounged up for now.

Winchester has moved both the .300 and .375 H&H into what it calls its obsolete offerings. That means that they only make a run every 18 monthes or longer. Rumor has it that they are going to make a run this summer.

Horneber will sell it to you for $170 per 100! Go and piggy back on the thread I started over at NoslerReloading to request their offering it. They seem to be receptive to the idea.

Huntingtons have them listed I don't know if they have them.

If you are not fussy about the headstamp why not form them from 375H&H brass? RCBS make the forming die.

They almost always have 300H&H brass on ebey.
Just type in 300H&H, I think you should find some.

Given the number of old model 70s and 720s floating around it seems the survival rate of long guns chambered in 300 H&H is quite high. Hit the gun shows too, as there is almost always someone selling a bag of it. As for it being out of production, I fail to see what the problem is as there are many calibres made on a limited production basis. Inconvienient yes, a death sentence, no.

While I haven't done it, I believe the 300 H&H brass can be formed by FL resizing any of the following:
300 weatherby
7MM STW
8MM Rem Mag
340 Weatherby
and as previously mantioned...the .375 H&H

$170???? That's insane.

Heck, I've got 100 pieces of unfired 300 H&H brass I might be willing to part with.... I'll even undercut Horneber's price by $5!!!

Actually more insane than that. I just checked my email from Dieter. Its 170 euro per 100... That's $216!!! I can wait until Winchester makes another run til I replenish my supply.

Sam, I sent you an eBay auction for the brass you are looking for. Grant.

Midway USA informs me that .300 H&H is one of the calibers that Winchester makes 'seasonal' runs. There will be another run of brass so watch Midway for the next offering.

I was at a local shop the other day. They have just about everything in there. Including some very old WW brass in 20rd boxes. Forget how many boxes they had but they had some 300H&H. Call them on Tuesday (They're closed Sun, Mon). Info below...

I got a bunch from Corlane Sports in Dawson Creek B.C. Might be a bit of a pain to export I don't know.

Here's my understanding of the production schedule for brass:

First, brass is a bit scarce due to the martial demand caused by spraying much of Asia Minor and Southern Asia with small arms fire. A result is that a disproportion fraction of the country's brass producing capability is being absorbed by Uncle Sam.

Second, brass mills have a limited number of drawing machines. Some of these machines stay set up for a particular caliber all of the time (like not changing out the dies on your Dillon if you mostly shoot 9mm and using your RCBS to shift among other calibers). So, machines set up for .223, .308, and common hunting calibers like .243, 22-250, .30-06, etc. churn out brass in those calibers year-around.

Other machines are rotated among lower-volume calibers. A caliber like, say, 6mm Remington may be set up to run for perhaps six months, then changed out to .300 H & H for a couple of months, followed by .257 Roberts, or .264 Win or .30 Remington. This is a hypothetical example and the calibers mentioned are arbitrary, but you get my drift. The cycle may or may not be a year, and it depends on the number of orders that the mill is receiving from wholesalers, which in turn depends on the amount of brass from previous runs still out there in the pipeline.

Inventory control is not perfect (especially when unanticipated capacity is soaked up by military contracts). As a result, some "seasonal" calibers may fall into short supply before the mills crank out some fresh stuff. After all, if I'm the mill and I'm going to gear up to crank out 500,000 rounds of 6.5x54MS, I want to know that I've got a market for at least 495,000 rounds of 6.5x54MS.
