Yes indeed Bill BUT a guy has to replenish brass or start his stash somehow.
I'm glad a have a few hundred and a couple boxes of factories.

That is a crazy price... if I didn't handload, that one would likely become a wall-hanger.

Does Starline make brass for that caliber? It seems I remember seeing that they do, from time to time...

.
I latched onto some 218 Bee at a hefty price 'just for the brass' a ways back. Did same for 6mm Remington too.

No, Starline doesn't.

I too have a fair supply of Bee on hand so if I had to I could neck up/ fire form. But I have a Bee and a 25-20.

Yeah, I didn't get there in time. But they got me for a bottle of Herco and 2000 Remington 5-1/2 SP primers. The primers are on "sale" for $69/1000.

Starline does occasionally make a run of 32/20 brass from which I have made a bunch of 25/20 ammo. From comments I have read over on the "Castboolits" forum it sounds like Starline has recently made a couple of small runs of the 32/20 which is sold almost immediately. If I needed 25/20 or 32/20 brass I would be keeping an eye on the Starline site.

I’ve a friend that shot down there about five years ago and he’s about as anal as I am about keeping counts . He and I typically shoot about the same anyway he told me the year he went he was averaging almost 95% on hits/kills . Initially I’d thought about trying to do in 1,000 in one day , but my shoulders are not up to that task even using a 20 semi auto or 28 O/U !
