Brass availability

[Ivorygrip]

Good day all, I just learned something unfortunate.
For a while I have been looking for retailers to get in some Hornady 500 nitro brass, figuring on the demand of everything I wasn’t expecting it, but I called Hornady and spoke with a nice lady there and she told me “it looks like the cartridge cases for the 500 have been discontinued“ and she figured they would never make them to sell as components again.
Obviously they are still making factory Ammo but from the sounds of it the cases for the almighty 500 NE will be no more from hornady.
I did not ask about any other calibers so maybe they will still make some other big bore cartridge cases in the future…

Hopefully they will continue making factory ammo for it. I have a 450 Rigby. Hornady was cheapest option and commonly available until recently. It now lists discontinued.

Buy Norma 500NE brass from Raven Rock Precision which is in stock. Better brass in my opinion versus Hornady
