I posted this on Culvers, but realize not all members here look there.  One way around this problem for reloaders is to stock up on PRVI .303 British blanks, before retailers realize what we're doing with them and jack up the price.  I don't get to shoot much anymore so 105 stashed away is plenty.  PRVI assured me that they use the same brass for these blanks that they do for loaded rounds.

Things are getting pretty crazy.  I see 50 new Winchester brass going for $116 on gunbroker.  Over $2 ea.  The blanks cost me .74 ea, and that includes shipping.  With Cuba opening up, I might need the blanks for a San Juan Hill reenactment.
