I would guess that starline is the next best up for cheap brass?
But is starline any good? I've never it in any caliber
I’ve used it for precision 223, grendel and 65CM and it’s very good brass. Better than Hornady. More consistent too
Have you weighed any by chance to see what the weight spread is?
I haven't shot any yet but my 100 rnds varied from 99.5 gr's to 101.9 gr's. Lowest wt on top. Each row is 0.10 gr increment. 
Is there a specific reason LC is currently unavailable? Also are you referring to once fired or new?
I may have been under a rock the past few months and missed something.
My understanding is the govt LC brass is now being scrapped instead of sold at auction to the highest bidder.
Am I assuming correctly you are referring to once fired brass or does this include new unloaded brass? I ask because I've been picking up 1k of new LC brass every other year for a few years now. I can still find it in stock online, but not with my typical vendor. Thanks for any clarity.
It appears to be in stock.

Once Fired Lake City 556 brass. Quality NATO LC brass, unprocessed, and ships quickly. Cleaning available. Now offered with Redding FL 223 Small Base Die.

That stuff is in stock because it’s over priced. That’s dirty once fired for what new LC cost less than a year ago at Grafs.
Lake city is back in stock at grafs.

They have a coax for 330 too I see.
I had luck with GBW but now I can't find it either??
We have not noticed for brass to be too critical even when shooting precision, YMMV. The only brass that was vastly different was brass from MEN ammo. It was BEEFY.

What's the reason LC brass is getting scarce?
I buy new LC when I see it in stock. for the prices, its not worth fussing with primer crimps. I bought some from Graf's a few months ago. LC18 stamped.
Wish you had posted this three days ago. I had the chance to get 15k pieces for free. I didn't need it so I told him no and give it to someone who did need it.
Damn.. any chance this is in central Florida?
Um... that's against the religion around here man. I think lowlight has to come take your reloader card now... possibly the man card as well.
Haha, man I take as much as I can from our work range. I've given a ton away to guys that need it and dont have access to it.
Damnit! I just bought some Lapua last week because I got tired of waiting for this next batch to come in. FML...Lake city is back in stock at grafs.
