Brass Availability for Bee's or Hornet's
My favorite small caliber brass used to show up around late Feb early March. Has anyone got the inside line on whether Winchester will produce any .218 Bee or 25/20WCF(to form Bee's)? Or anyone seeing any .22 Hornet brass anywhere?
I used to buy a bag about every other year, skipped last year and now I'm low on .22 Hornet.

Anyone ever fire form the .17 Hornet up to .22? Or does anyone have 50-100 .22 Hornet cases they're willing to part with?

Thanks for the help,

Minkman

P.S. I usually log on one or two times a week, so my lack of response isn't disrespect. Thanks again.

I doubt you will see Winchester make a run of 218 Bee brass this year. Graf's website says "temporarily unavailable from the manufacturer" on most non-mainstream caliber brass

On another site a guy offered up new bags of .22 Hornet brass at $45/hundred and it was all bought immediately.

Any brass you want is out there. None of it is going to be priced where you want it.

A few weeks back a buddy put up 100 pcs of new Win 218 brass on GB, with an opening bid of $49.95. It sold for close to $170.

Maybe I should sell out my Bee brass and just keep using the 25/20WCF? I like to keep 150 brass working when it dips below 75, I add a 100. I'm really low on Hornet (>50), but have 4 unopened bags of Bee, hence my search for 25/20. Now I'll never open another bag of Bee.

Anyone know how the .17 Hornet does when you open'em up to .22?

Thanks Guys
