Default .44 Special brass

I can not remember how long ago I saw it nor who had it, but I am looking for some .44 Special, Nickel plated, brass. I think what I saw was Remington brand.

Thank you
P

Midway USA currently has the excellent Star Line .44 Special brass in stock in 100,500 and 1000 brass finish as of NOON.

Both Starline and Remington manufacture nickel plated .44 Special brass, but it's out of stock at Grafs and Midway. As noted above, Midway has Starline standard .44 Special brass in stock.

Starline occasionally offers nickel plated brass in some calibers. Get on the email list for Midway , Natchez , Wideners and other reloading suppliers.

Wow... Starline sells plated brass in 'drum' lots only. For .44 S&W Special, that would be 5,500 at $187/1k. I just called them - the kilobuck worth of plated .44 S&W Specials would still be several months away. Have you tried Georgia Arms for cowboy loads in nickel plated brass?

Yep , they sell drum lots to Midway and other distributors, who repackages and sells them in 100/500/1000rd bags/boxes. They also sell drums or truckloads to small independent ammo manufacturers.

Starline will make or headstamp anything ya want as long as ya buy a minimum of 100k rounds. That's how I got my .41 Special headstamped brass.

Put it in your wish list at Midway (and the other outlets).
Then click on "notify" and they will email you when it comes in.
You sometimes have to act fast. The last load of nickel 44 special
was gone in a day or 2. It comes in a few times a year whenever
Starline decides to run a batch.
I see the nickel 44 Mag is in stock.

Good hunting.
