FYI: Starline Brass for 44 AMP

I see they are still making the 458 Brass, down to 0.33 each in quantity.

I guess we shouldn't temp fate.  Probably best to wait until we get our 44 AMP brass first.

2 months ago I ordered 1000 pcs of 445 supermag brass from starline. They told me when I called them that as a rule they don't put a caliber that was sold out in production again until they have prepaid orders totalling 30,000 pcs. I was told that I could be waiting as long as to end of the year before I see my brass, or maybe longer. When you go to their website they are out of the majority of their calibers which makes me wonder how they stay in business like that. But I guess when you are the only show in town it comes with benefits.

I haven't heard anything on the 445 supermag brass. I know that it's out nationwide so it can't be too much longer before they get enough orders to start production. As far as the 44 amp goes, I just reserved a new 44 Automag Kodiak pistol from the Auto Mag Company here in Rockville Maryland. I was going to order some 44 amp brass from Starline but I recieved a letter from the Auto Mag Company stating that my pistol reservation is dependent on whether the gun is approved by Maryland's Handgun Roster Board which won't happen until the end of the year. I can't place any pre orders with Starline because of that. I am going to contact the Automag Company and get their response to the current brass situation. You would think that they would meet starline's pre order minimum before the reintroduction of the Automag begins in the spring of 2011. Afterall, reintroducing this gun to the market place at $2800 each is bad enough in this economy but doing so without any loaded ammo or brass being available is suicide. I'm sure they've taken this strongly into consideration, and I'll post something when I hear back from them.
