Got a notice today from Optics stating delivery date is 7/27, with an apology. Hope it arrives then. I only ordered 50 rounds of the 32-20, but after this wait, I wish I would have ordered another 50.

It sounds like Starline Brass isn't making their promised delivery deadlines.
You can always order another 50 right now.

Seems like .32-20 brass would be a better investment than Bitcoin if you could find any. Happy that I have about 300.

So shoot me, I got the wrong manufacturer. OK, maybe Winchester isn't making their delivery dates.

An actual response from Starline Brass C/S. At least they're being honest.
Guess I'll relegate my .32-20 to very little shooting in order to keep my very small brass/ammo supply on hand.
Looks like we shouldn't hold our breath to get Starline .32-20 brass.
Below is a copy/paste response from Starline:
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
We don't really run them on a set schedule. They are slow sellers, so in NORMAL time - we run them maybe once or twice a year and that run lasts most of the year. Then we just work it in again before we run out to keep them on the shelves.
But when 2020 hit and we went from caught up with a 95% in stock rate to over 4 years backlogged - backorders dictate what we run now. Many of these slower sellers we have not ran in a few years due to the backlog on popular calibers. The rush has finally let up and we are getting a few things in stock that are staying in stock some which will allow us to run some things we have not ran in a while. But while we are in a much better place than we were last year at this time, we still have a long way to go to get caught up.
I'm sorry to say - not great news for 32-20. We will have a run at some point, however it will likely be a while before we are able to work them into the schedule. I know not great news, but it's about the best guess we have for you right now.
Thank you,

My ship date has been put off to 08-01-23 at OP...........
Well..... a place called ET Brass in Ohio claims to have 25-20 Winchester brass in stock... which is unusual. And maybe a call to be sure is in order. No mention of 32-20 but maybe Winchester (Olin)? is ramping up their brass production.. so, maybe? it's coming?
I've heard of them before, just a small mom and pop operation. Supposedly nice people, worked at some of the local gun shows but I doubt they have updated their website in the last two or three years. Could be wrong, just don't go by what their website says.
Just got notice shipping date is now 8/7 from 7/27. Eventually.
My shipping date is now 08–23-23. That's the third time they backed me off. I don't think I got them I think they're hoping to get it.
No word on mine, 8/7 has come and gone.
Anyone hear anything or receive their order. Twenty days passed since I last heard from Optics Planet concerning the order.

Regrettably no. I don't think anyone has received any 32-20 brass. I cancelled my order a good while back. It really is unobtainium right now.

No Optics Planet still has my cc info though.
