They made 300wm brass years ago, but I havent seen any in close to 10 years. I agree about the 300wsm, brass availability is the number 1 reason I've hesitated on that cartridge. If the ADG supply stays solid in Canada, I'll reconsider.I thought they already made 300wm, crazy if they didn’t being how popular it is. Wish they would jump on the 300wsm band wagon.
I would like 300wsm also. 284win is #1 used F-class cartridge and heavily used there.No 300wsm but hey, 284win!!! So glad they're drop brass for caliber that hasn't been chambered in a factory rifle since I've been alive..
Way back it was a fairly common notion that the Lapua 300WM was actually subcontracted by Norma to Lapua specs. At the time Lapua did not make any of their own belted cases. 20 or so years ago there was a list of Lapua factory made and subcontracted brass. The 223 was supposedly subbed by IMI and was terrible as far as consistency. There were quite a few others that were subbed out as I recall.Lapua made 300WM brass in the past and then dropped the cartridge. Not really sure why, I have a lot of stories but, that's all they are.

And that's a small sample size compared to the rest of the sport. Making brass for a few hundred shooters and ignoring thousands of other shooters is ridiculous. I don't think I've ever seen a rifle chambered in .284 for sale. Talk about Lapua catering to a niche market. The PRCs absolutely make sense considering their popularity.I would like 300wsm also. 284win is #1 used F-class cartridge and heavily used there.
Don't hold your breath. When Lapua announced 300 Norma brass it took them almost two years before it became available for purchase.So has anyone heard updates on 300 WM arrival dates? I had backordered some from grafs when this announcement was made. Would be nice to break in a new barrel while fire forming rather than break it in with old Norma brass and then fire form lapua after.

I would love to see Lapua make WSM brass and I think there are MANY others that would too! Hopefully, with any luck at all Lapua will hear the cry for WSM brass and start making it as well.I would be happy to see lapua release WSM brass too!
