I have been looking for weeks for a few hundred 300 WinMag brass cases
with no luck.
All of the major outlets, Cabellas, Midway, Natchez, Sportsman's
Warehouse, Cheaper than Dirt, and all the local shops have been sold
out or backordered.
Then I stumbled on a site Lock Stock and Barrel, (lockstock.com) that
claims to have some in stock.
But I am hesitant to order form a company I've never heard of. I've
had bad experiences with scam sites that bait and switch, so I'd like
to hear other people's experiences before I enter my credit card
number.

Also if someone knows of a source for some brass, I'd appreciate it.

Of course I realize that posting this info will probably lead to
LockStock from selling out by the time I get a response.

Is it as crazy finding reloading supplies everywhere in the free world
as it is here? I just paid $35 for 1000 primers. The almost empty
box on my shelf still has the sticker $17.99.

Thanks,
Dan

I have ordered from them for years. Been to the store once when we went
to South Dakota by way of Nebraska. Nice place, great folks, buy most
of my reloading components from them. Can't believe you haven't seen
their ads in the gun rags.

List on primers is now over $30/K in Shotgun News, which has got to be
close to wholesale. And your almost-empty box has got to be more than
a few years old, they've been in the 20s/K for quite a while.

As far as Lock, Stock and Barrel, they've been in business for decades
in one location or another. Originally, they were oriented towards
the varmint hunter.

Go ahead and order, but be sure to use your credit card, not a personal or
certified check. If the business does not ship your goods in the agreed
upon time, you simply contact your credit card company and cancel the charge
giving the reason that the vendor failed to provide the product. This has
worked well for me in the past when a seller failed to perform. Be sure to
check the conditions on your credit card that limit the time period in which
you can cancel charges. It may be 60 days or 90 days, etc. YOU MUST
protest the charge within that period or the card company does not have to
honor the cancellation. If done in time, I have always had my account
credited with the charge.

I've had great experiences with ordering from them. Much easier than
finding ammo in Sacramento.

Got my first order from them in the late 70's.
