I've been looking for some reasonably priced 10 mm brass.  Found a little last month in Louisiana (250 new Winchester) but have been hoarding those since changeover form .45 to 10 is a real pita.  Anyway, Midway lets you sign up to be notified in some items come into stock so I signed up for some Starline 10 mm.  Well, today at 11:03 CDT I got an email that they had some 10' in 500 round bulk packages.  Didn't get to the computer until 2:30 and you guessed it, they were out.  I knew you had to move quickly, but never dreamed you had to camp on the terminal to get this stuff.  Hope the hoarders and gougers rot in a warm place.

It will get better, if you buy some loaded ammo at a good price then you will have some brass to play with.  8)

I think a lot of those in-stock reports get sent out erroneously

Count me in on looking for brass.  I used to have a bunch of brand new Starline...ugh.  Oh well someday some will pop up somewhere...I think.

The last time midway got in a large shipment of starline the nickel was available for 3 days before it sold out. They should get one soon

Odd how Winchester Brass is almost twice the price as Starline
Could it be THAT much better ?
So tell me again how Trump was worse then the 8 years before .... AND what came after HIM !

If I had a choice, I would take Winchester brass and pay the extra. Never had a split Winchester case in 10mm, can't say the same for Starline. As many have reported before, the Winchester brass can tarnish some, but they still shoot. I still love Starline brass and will continue to use it too.

Steve, thanks for the heads-up, but checked all 3 and while some (2) indicate they have 10s when you add to cart, or call they don't have it.  Guess, I'll wait for Midway, again.

Did you ever look at Ammobrasstrader? I have traded many a different caliber case for 10mm's, cases I picked up for free at my local range.

Some people think I'm paranoid because I have so many guns. With all my guns, what do I have to be paranoid about?

GD56, thanks for the site.  I just posted some trading material, hope it works out.

I like Starline better than Winchester brass

I've got a guy willing to sell me some, but the problem is that it's 1x Federal "FC" stamped...and I've not heard good things about it.  Is this brass still crud or was that just a thing with older brass?

FC brass is OK you may find a few split on the initial firing depending on the chambers they were shot it.

I traded for 1350 of them as shot in the MP5-10mm and during my reconditioning I found 50 that were split... :-\
