I have recently been looking for 10mm brass locally, Alaska is pretty big - so local is pretty far, and have come up empty handed. (Although I will be the first to admit that I have not looked under all the rocks.)

Started online searching, aside from the shipping coming to about what the brass costs, I have only found one source with any in stock. And I have not confirmed this with a phone call.

Anyone know what is up? I realize that 10mm is not .45 ACP but it was there on the shelves not that long ago. (Can still buy factory loads off the shelf.)

At this point it is cheaper to just buy factory loads, shoot them, and then pick up the brass to reload. (Due to shipping costs.) Just kind of goes against the grain to have to buy them loaded in the first place, when I just want to buy brass to load!

Any thoughts?
