Good luck! I even called Winchester to find out when the "season" for .458 brass was (since MidwayUSA indicates its seasonal) and couldn't get a straight answer from them. Fortunately, a friend (very good friend) purchased as a Christmas present, 100 Remington 458's for me on e-Bay and it cost him $101.00.

For those of you who are pointing out all the available .458 WINMAG brass, I guess an explaination is in order. I have seen all the A-Square and Norma brass available. I have seen the auctions on e-Bay for it and they always go way up in price at the last minute. I think those of us (at least me) who are complaining of its lack of availability are talking about the domestic brands that are listed at less than Rolls-Royce prices. As much as I love the AR forums, I am particularly impressed by those many members who seem to have a large amount of discretionary funds. I am "po folk" as I know many others are, and $31 to $40 per 20 is more than I will pay for it. Yes, Hornady .458 LOTT brass is available for a reasonable price and one can quite reasonably trim it to .458 WINMAG length.

The Techs at Hornady said I could trim the "Basic Belted Brass" down to .458 Lott length, I'd guess you could do the same for WinMag. I believe it was $10.00/50 cheaper than the Lott brass, depends on if it is worth your time on the trimmer.
