Went to a local gun show yesterday and for the first time in almost 2 years I was able to pickup more than 200 at a time! Prices were in the low end of what I would call the new normal. Now I can load up some extra 9mm and 45acp without getting into my reserve stash!

Nice score, yep 35 Rem is hard to come by, brass or ammo.
I did see some 200gr. Win. Power points a month ago at one shop.
But, it was $58.99 + tax, glad I started loading for it a good while back.

Vaquero, I bought 3 boxes of factory Hornady just to get started and have something to reload. Those cost me $48 a box. I wish Starline would make 35 Remington then I could at least get on a backorder list.

Sadly, that is one caliber that they have never offered that I know of.
Remington and Winchester have offered it in the past. I have a bag of each new 50 pcs. They've been sitting in the cabinet for a while now.
Good luck on the search.

These probably won't last long.

Back ordered 500 cases of 45 colt 3 days ago and they arrived on my porch about an hour ago. I am clearing my bench to load some up using 200grn Beery's made for 45acp with a hollow base. They mike .452 at the olgive and .454 at the base. They shoot well in my 1911's so I think I will give it a try. I am going to start with 6.5grns to 7grns of Unique. looking for a good light load for my 92.
leverjc, you might try 8.0gr Unique with those 200gr bullets. less case sooting and pretty darn good accuracy in my Henry. In a lever gun, not much recoil.

Loaded 30 rounds of .243 Win with RL15 and 80 gr. Barnes TTSX. Also, 25 rounds of .44 mag. with H110 and 240 gr. Hornady XTPs.
I had a couple of boxes of the 80 gr. TTSX from BP (before plague) and want to see how differently they perform (group and location-wise) than the 85 gr. Sierra GK. They've become pretty pricey since. I plan to shoot them slowly! :)
