It's funny you can't find brass ,bullets. Primer. and powder all those companies and not one brand making it to the stories??????
Dosen't take a rocket scientist to figure it out.
 
Try your local shooting ranges both indoor and outdoor. Our local outdoor range gets swept up and sorted if the shooter doesn't want it and they sell if for 5-10 cents each depending on what it is. They have lots of .38 special. In fact I asked one time about swap for 9mm and he said i give him 2 38's for each 9mm that's how many he gets. But .357 and 10mm is usually hard to find at times. Be persistent, look for an out of the way shooting range, sometimes smaller is better!!

Brass: Some like .357mag might take a while, but local recycler has 9mm most of the time.
Bullets: The coated and plated manufacturers are running a couple weeks behind, but no problem ordering 9 or 38.
Powder: Alliant's not good, but local store and web site have Hodgdon. I see TiteGroup and HS-6.

Primers: Ah. Now that's the rub.
 
A few weeks back just on a whim I was checking Starline. They showed .38 Special as in stock so I figured why not and ordered 1,000 pieces. A few days later I got my order. So I went back and looked at .45 ACP which was not in stock but could be backordered so again I figure why not and backordered 1,000 pieces. About two weeks later I got my brass. Now along with .357 neither .38 Special and .45 ACP are available and neither shows backorder. I would just check on a regular basis because like everything else it's catch as catch can.
 
Try Missouri Bullet. I've got bullets and brass on order, and expecting shipment in about 8 weeks. They are making the bullets, and maybe the brass too. Now all I need is powder and primers...

Any updates on this? I'm awful short on .357 Magnum brass. Still not available, even for backorder, at Starline. If anyone has a lead on some range brass or Starline in stock, please let me know. Much of the range brass I've found is priced ridiculously high and is out of stock, anyway.
 
There are quite a few bulk used brass sellers on MeWe, and almost all of them always have .357. If you join MeWe, search for any of the reloading groups, ammo groups, supplies etc. MeWe has no restrictions on what can or cannot be sold as long as it's legal. The shooting community is pretty big and growing there, and it's a great place to find things you need for reloading.
 
No sugar? Damn. Y'all ain't never got two things that match. Either y'all got Kool-aid, no sugar. Peanut butter, no jelly. Ham, no burger. Daaamn.:D

Got primers, no powder, got bullets, no brass...


Here you go, Everglades has 357 brass in stock

Bonus points if you catch the movie reference
 
I was once at a rental range where a guy rented the chiappa rhino and put maybe 150 through it. I asked if he was saving the brass anticipating his reply- i could have it.

Still stands out because I've NEVER gotten any other 357 brass in like 7 years.
