Was shopping for brass at Midway. They list 2 times .308 cases new from Winchester, different priced, different product family #'s. Priced $1.30 difference for bag of 50.
I dint get it. Product descriptions between them are exactly same unless I missed something. One is available & one is "coming soon". I ordered some "available" cases.

I saw the same thing and thought WTF!

It's very possible that the brass is different. .308 brass is now being produced by some mfr's in small primer configuration. Palma shooters have shown a preference for the smaller primer in this cal.

As for the description, the computer geek at Midway probably just cut and pasted it. As far as I'm concerned, anytime Midway says "coming soon" I don't hold my breath. Just like when they say "Backordered, due xx/xx/xxxx" I just order from someone else who has it in stock.

My bet is Deadshot has it nailed ..... its certainly not clear which is which in the descriptions.

That couple of orders of Winchester brass I got was pretty crappie. Maybe they got the problem corrected and the coming soon brass will be worth it.
