where can you just buy new brass?

There are a lot of places that used to carry reloading supplies. Now they mostly have empty shelves and that's been the case for a couple of months. Can't even find dies for common calibers.

Danny was being sarcastic, hard to find any amount of new brass here as well.

I have ordered from these folks , they shipped and the brass was decent , all cleaned and there were a few extra pieces in each bag to make up for the 1 or 2 that may have had an issue.

https://bisonbrass.com/

out of stock is anything gun or gun related for 2020-2021 at least so far , even muzzle loaders are getting sparse

was at a store yesterday 2 boxes 220 swift , 2 boxes 35rem , some steel in 12 and 20 and 12 and 20 turkey loads and I swear I have seen more 16ga than any other time before it is like they found it burried in the back of some warehouse and sent som to every place to have something on the shelf .that was the entire ammo section the rest was empty shelves

Midway, Grafs, or direct from Starline usually. Starline makes good brass. Look over their sites and there are some calibers not yet picked over. Not much luck now though with the state of things and all the panic buying. In the popular calibers new brass is as scarce as primers.

I say if you want brass now, go to a public or private range and look for it on the ground. Non loaders just leave it lay.

If you're loading blasting or even just target practice ammo for 9mm, 223, etc., once fired is the way to go. All of my 9mm and 223 is once fired by me or someone else.

I buy new good brass (Lapua) for more precise loading and shooting.

Is that their own particular brand of brass or is it mixed brands/lots of once-fired?

once fired the batch I got was a mix of Aguila , Federal , Winchester and a few PMC and Hornady
when I ordered they were still selling on Etsy the craft web site , my wife buys there so I just had her order it for me with her account. shortly after that they got the boot from Etsy because well guns stuff not that what they had been doing was in any way wrong just corporate anti gun stuff so they set up their own sales page.
ordered 500 pieces shipped 60 dollars at the time it came in a USPS size A regional box in sealed 250 round bags. so far I have only opened 1 bag the other is in reserve for when the brass I am using is ready to retire which if this powder primer projectile thing keeps up might be a very long time. I neck size for about 4-5 firings the full length.

I suspect a bunch of it was fired from an M1A or similar as it all required a good sizing with plenty of lube but it has worked fine after that initial sizing although I haven't loaded any of it more than twice, I sort it all out by head stamp and put as many of the same in a 50 round MTM box that is labeled for that rifle so that I just neck size
