Tstowater , I am planning to leave the evening of October 17th and get 178 miles to Mom's house for a visit. I don't think I'm going to have any fresh brass in time for my hunt.
I like to buy it online and that seems to work out the cheapest if you can buy enough to offset the haz mat shipping fee.
I have a few favorite websites and I check them about daily since I have been back from my AK hunt with no luck on finding. That is good news that local shops are getting some in here and there... Maybe there is hope!
I feel your pain on getting fresh brass a .264 Win mag is difficult to find brass for as well. I just buy factory loaded ammo to shoot or break it down, really depends on how cheap you can find ammo. But I was able to find Retumbo at a local mom and pop reloader store so I am grateful for that.
