    Brass hunting


    I'm probably late to the party with this problem, but I'm having trouble finding 7mm-08 brass. The cheaper Remington and Winchester is what I'm looking for right now. I found Nosler and lapua, but that's overkill for semiautomatic I'll use this brass in. Any suggestions for shops and sites I probably don't know about or didn't easily find? Looked at the big guys already.

    I buy LC once fired .308/7.62x51 and neck it down leaving a slight false shoulder to get a crush fit in the 7-08 chamber. There has never been a need to neck turn any of the brass.

    I'd go the necked down 308 route.

    7-08 win and rem brass is hens teeth now and when you do find it it's stupidly priced.

    Thanks. Just wanted to make sure it really wasn't out there and I wasn't finding it. I need 308 brass too anyway.

    Check powder valley for prvi partisan brass as they had some not too long ago. It is easily as good as Remington brass.
    Willing to give back for what the sport has done for me!
