Why can't we find any 6.5 PRC brass or ammo anywhere?

[ironworker378]

Nobody has any! Nosler blemished brass is too soft. It can't take any near max charges!

Probably has something to do with being a new hot cartridge and being in the midst of a terrible component shortage?

ADG brass you can load hot if you want to, my 6.5 PRC, I can load up to 58 gr N565 or R26. ADG brass is hard to find and when you find it , have to pay for those who gouging price , that is sucks.

^^^ This^^^

Geesh... kinda obvious?

 

[Stalker69]

Only place I have found it was gunbroker, yes it’s expensive but it is out there.

 

[long hunter]

Check with Top Brass or Carolina Brass, Once fired if they have its but better than nothing

 

[long hunter]

Just checked Optics Planet has it pricey but the site shows it in stock.

 

[long hunter]

Tacticool site shows it also, re-checked the optic planet site it says back order, my mis reading the info. sorry.

 

[35WhelenAI]

Is Tacticool legit? They don't take credit cards. Only one reason why they don't take payment that can be reversed...

Taticool is a scamer

Precisely. Is there a sticky where questionable sites are listed for all to see? We should all be aware that what gets posted isn't gonna put someone in a potential jam.

A batch of Lapua 6.5 PRC brass hit some online retailers last week. Unfortunately, it was gone in minutes if you got a notification. Nosler also had some premium brass for sale (not blemished) on their website for $97/per 50. It was in stock for most of a day, I believe. Some retailers are expecting a run of ADG brass to land this spring.

There's a couple of retailers that will let you backorder brass. Some charge your card upfront, some don't. Best you can do is sign up for notifications, backorder and/or be patient. Eventually folks will get what they need and it will be easier to find. I get it, it's frustrating and, most of us can't be tied to the internet 24 hours a day waiting for something to drop. I'm in the same boat and ended up getting 50pcs of Hornady brass off a classified ad for $2/piece. Sheesh. I'll be damned if I'm gonna pay $4+ a case off Gunbroker though.

I have never ordered anything from tacticool, just done a quick search for the needed brass and they came up, I am in the same boat but with powder looking for IMR 4831 and H1000 found some perhaps but as you they wanted a 200-dollar minimum order and only paid by Venmo or something like that no way was I going to chance it. Just got to be careful and follow your instincts. Good luck on your search.

Because everyone thinks they can carry 20,000 rounds when the world goes to shit. Gun owners are some of the most selfish people I've ever encountered. And the people buying ammo to resell should be shot in the foot.

Your best bet may be to backorder some from Creedmoor Sports. I believe all backorders are filled before it will show in stock on the website so they may be getting shipments of it, but it never shows in stock unless they have enough to fill the backorders.

I’ve bought 7mag adg brass from them several times and am very happy with the product and the service.

Just an idea. Good luck

If you're desperate fire it all at a low charge to harden the case head and then ramp it up.

Yep i did that, its a good option if you can wait. They dont charge you until it ships out. They told me they got some 6.5 prc lapua brass in last week but that it wasn't enough to fill all the backorders. Hopefully they fill mine next time they get some! Lol

I've never heard of that procedure. Why wouldn't a stiff load do that?

 

[ironworker378]

I bought some once-fired Hornady brass of Gunbroker. As soon as I get it, I'll anneal it, then, of course, FL size it Better than nothing.

It will, but it can blow the primer pocket loose when it does. I've read about some F-class guys doing this with a fresh lot of brass and getting 20+ firings.
