The only NP WSM brass I have seen was factory Winchester stuff...maybe there is a source for surplus/seconds from the Win factory...???


Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.

The only "New" Nickel Brass from Win is the .280 Rem the rest are used in factory loads.

You might try one of auction sites.

At the NRA convention in Pittsburg in 2004 when asked Winchester stated they had no plans to supply nickle palted brass for reloaders.

Other than the fact that it looks pretty I'm not sure why you'd want it . Nickel cases have a reputation for flaking after a few reloads . Nickel is very hard and flakes apparently can damage dies .


The hunting imperative was part of every man's soul; some denied or suppressed it, others diverted it into less blatantly violent avenues of expression, wielding clubs on the golf course or racquets on the court, substituting a little white ball for the prey of flesh and blood.
