I heard no but they have to be loosing money. I have 4 cases put away to sell at a later date. I found it at an estate sale for a really good price

you can still buy it in loaded ammo but that gets quite
expensive.

Black-X,

I've heard good stuff about the RWS, but the price is up there with the Lapua. I'd be willing to give Hornady a try if looking for a less expensive option.

HTH,

I've run Nosler brass for several years now with my 300WM. I've got 5-7 reloads on them so far. The primer pockets have held up fine. I will buy more Nosler brass when the time comes.

Ditto. Same caliber. Some VERY hot loads during development. Lost track of firings now, but must be over ten. I have a lot of Federal that was rotated during the same timeframe that didn't make it 6 loadings.

Why the heck would they quit making brass for 300 winmag? That's a really popular cartridge?!@?

I've had good luck out of Norma brass but never used it in 300WM.

Being using Winchester brass so far and have no problem at all. I F/L my brass and run it through the collet die from Larry Willis IT company every 2-3 reloads. Chamber like a charm. So far, I am already up to 7-8 reloads on my Winchester brass and everything looks good.

I talked to Lapua guys at SHOT and they said they wouldn't be making it. Could give us a reason really why they stopped making it.

Freeze+1. Lapua has discontinued future production of 300WM brass.
