Try to find some brass for that thing to reload if you dont have any. I have a 270 WSM and cant find any. Remington and Winchester quit supplying it. You have to buy Norma or Nosler.

saintsfan1977,
I wouldn't worry too much about the fact that R-P and Win are currently not making 270 WSM brass. In recent times they've both started producing some of their less popular brass on a cyclical basis (sometimes every year or two). The fact it's not available now doesn't mean it won't be available later.

OTOH, there's a LOT of good to be said for Norma, Nosler and Lapua braass. I've never loaded Norma brass, but from what I've been told by experienced loaders, it's VERY high quality, just like Lapua. I check neck concentricity on my brass before loading it. My cull rate for R-P and Win is usually 10-20%. Lapua runs 1-2%; Nosler and Hornady about 5%. The recent 221 Fireball brass I bought from R-P can best be described as "sorry quality." Going forward, I'll buy only Lapua for the Fireball, not R-P. Do yourself a favor: buy some Norma or Nosler 270 WSM brass and enjoy it's superior quality.
