Default Looking for 280ai brass

Anyone know where I could get 280ai brass. I'm really struggling to find some. I do not want the hassle of fire forming so new or once fired brass would be ideal. Thanks.

I read that fireforming 280ai brass should not be done alone Therefore I volunteer to assist you.

Thanks to everyone for your replies. If I could only find one more volunteer to load some brass up to fire form I would be in business

Every dealer I contacted has brass on back order but not sure when they would be available. However I did find some through a private message on this forum so thanks.

Nosler brass is $125/50, a ridiculous price in my books but if you want some Cabelas can order it in for you. 14 days. If it were me I would just load up some 280 brass or factory ammo and shoot it, they shoot the same pre and post fire forming anyhow.

Kurt yes you can fire form nickle 280 brass. After you shoot it, just make sure it is very clean before running it through your dies.

With brass at $2.50 a piece and a good bullet about a buck....just go to Wolverine in Red Deer and buy Nosler Trophy factory 280 AI ammo with 140 grain Accubonds for $80 a box...$85 for Nosler Trophy ammo with 150 grain Long range accubonds....real simple. Prices and inventory as of Jan 6, 2017. Enjoy.
