... reloads at the last gun-show. All Winchester cases. The owner did not know how they were loaded, as he bought them at a yard-sale.

So I set-about pullin' bullets, dumpin' powder, etc. and dropping the cases in a jug of water to kill the primers. After an over-night soak, I deprimed all the cases and set them over the furnace floor-vent to dry-out. I will resize and tumble them and have some good cases for the Remington on another day. There was one fired case in the box, which I resized early-on and it drops right-in, so my dies are good.

Good .264 brass is a little difficult to come by these days!
 
I was recently given 8 boxes of W-W 264 Win Mag brass, Dies, and several boxes of 129 gr and 140 gr Hornady bullets. Oh man, I am a happy camper too.

Oh, you can find good 264 brass. The issue is you have to pay dearly for it retail. Finding for a good deal is the trick! :) Congrats!

Now all you need is for Fotis to ship his Super Grade :)

Exactly!

I guess that it pays to have a couple of rifles chambered for oddball cartridges during times like this. I have been having real trouble getting 130 grain .270 and 165 grain .30-06 bullets, plus no .357 bullets for sale locally or much anywhere else. However I can find all of the .257, 9.3mm and .40S&W bullets that I need. I was especially surprised to be able to buy (5) different 9.3mm, both Nosler and Norma lately.

At least I can shoot my .257 Roberts and my 9.3mmx74R when I can't find bullets for my .270 Win and my .30-06., plus my .40 S&W.
 
264 Win cases are very easy to come by. I take a 7mm Rem mag case lube it and FL size it in my 264 Win die and abracadabra a 264 Win mag case appears.

Funny?
Same thing happens at my reloading bench.
