.243 WSSM brass

CWin · December 9, 2013, 07:29 PM

Hey ya'll,

First post here on the forum! I have a feeling I'm going to aggravate my boss at work because of this site hahaha

Anyhow, I have really been looking and I'm thinking the world has run out of .243 WSSM ammo and brass. I bought the rifle about 4 years ago and haven't put 1 round through it, and I only have 3 rounds for it, which is what was in the gun case when I bought it. The guy told me its the last 3 rounds of the only box he bought for it, so I guess 17 rounds have been through it... Looks like Winchester Supremes. Can anyone lead me in the right direction to maybe find some, or if anyone knows someone here with extra ammo or brass lemme know. I'm gonna post in the for sale section as well. I'm about to get my first press and start re-loading for my guns and would like to do my .243 if possible.
Thanks!

The last time I was at my lgs they had 2 bags of .243 WSSM once fired hanging on the rack. I'll check it out the next time I'm there (which is about 3 times a week) and let you know. Luck to you.

If you would have posted three weeks ago i could have helped. Had close to 300 .243's tumbled and ready for someone to resize/reload.

Where are they now haha?

Yep, a guy at the range has a classic shadow. I was grabbing the brass all year. Traded them to my brass guy for 1000 .308's. Since ive gotten my ar10 sass, ive been blowing through 308's and needed to start increasing my 308 cabinet.

iqmetals.com has all the .243 WSSM brass you could ever want.

They still have excess of 20,000 pcs in stock.

Dude........ you're awesome! Thank you soooo much for the lead!!!!

RC20 · December 12, 2013, 12:14 AM

I think thats thanks for the brass, bright shiny stuff.

Lead is that duller stuff they put in the middle of bullets (grin)

Glad he has you where you need. I have a bit but would be a small shipment and not worth the postage.

Hahaha...I thought about the "no pun intended" line... But does that work when reading? Again, thanks a million guys!
