6br brass

I've been loading 6br for a few years now. The Lapua seems to come in stock every few months. But I thought, I'd like to try some Peterson.

Looked for Lapua just out of habit. Out of stock.

Then looked for Peterson....Also out of stock.

I thought okay, maybe I'll try some Alpha... Also out of stock.

Peterson seemed to always be in stock when I looked, along with alpha.

Is there a pattern anyone has noticed of when new brass shipments come in? Or when to expect it? Cause I have a brand new 6br on a kelbly atlas tactical that I want to shoot, and I need brass for it.

It’s spring time, matches are starting up, most people or at least when needing brass I try to buy it in the off season. They will probably get caught back up in a few months. I see it for sale on here all the time.

Good idea. I'll give it a few more weeks and then post a wanted ad maybe. It's a bummer, cause I saw alpha in stock last month, but it was always in stock so I didn't bother. Shoulda, woulda, coulda.
 
I will also suggest you give these two web sites a try.

See that brown colored button near the center that says "reloading"... click that and select brass, then the next drop down menu select 6mm Norma BR and start the search.

Also try this site, it is roughly the same but things are in slightly different places on the screen with the same theme.

Anything that’s being sold through our tool die and reloading site I get notified, if your looking for 6br brass I suggest you do the same.

If you see a reloading component sought after somewhere online please post item available in the \/ \/ \/ \/ thread to help shooters that subscribe to that thread

 
For whats it's worth, Bullet Central had Alpha 6br in stock last Thursday when I recieved a notice. I believe they were $130.00/ 100.

That is just the way it runs these days. The game is now played in fractions of a minute, not weeks and days.

I was prepared for the last election cycle, but when new projects roll in and club mates and friends asked for help, I found that doing things "the old way" wasn't going to cut it. Those emails and notices were coming in but they were far too late in certain categories.

I am not averse to new ways of doing things on the internet, but because I was in the defense business and know how bad security is on things like iPhones... I am loathe to put apps and crap on my phone.

Well, I had to accept that the typical notification methods were so slow that I had to compromise and went ahead and placed Telegram on my phone and hooked up the automated rapid notices like ShootingBot etc.

Even with this, I also learned you had to be "cocked and primed" when the notice comes. You better know what you are willing to pay and instantly do the transaction on certain things or the penalty was to wait months to years in some instances.

I am casual and have flexibility but with friends who were at work a third of their day, I volunteered to do their shopping and jump on these things while they were tied up with work, families, animals, etc. or if they were in places where stopping to place ordered wasn't allowed or even possible.

At times, primers were pretty hard to score, but other ones like H4895, certain caliber brass, certain bullets, as example were ones that you had to jump instantly. Knowing the lay of the land in terms of prices is important since in this volatile market, just cause something comes available doesn't mean I will pay silly prices.

So, not telling you anything you want to hear, but just telling you how automation and speed have changed how the shopping process works in 2024. Until availability improves, you have to learn to play this new game or the wait can be years.

By checking two websites, you cover a vast number of suppliers where their software service is automatically searching 24/7. You can occasionally name a source that these web sites do not penetrate, but not many. You will need to study the sites to see who/what they cover and what they don't. In any case, good luck and good hunting.
 
@RegionRat good info, I will download that and see if I can get lucky. The last time I bought 6BR Lapua was ridiculous. I had two instances, that I had it in my cart, and then by the time I checked out, it was gone. I believe you can backorder on Eurooptic? I might do that as well. It's a shame. You're a good man to do that for your friends though!
