Well I started a project a couple of years. I was going to have a 6mm/06 built. Just before I moved the project forward, I came across the 280AI cases. Being it's about .1 longer to the shoulder than the 06 cases. So I changed or witched to the 280AI case. Even at that time case were hard to come by in 30/06 type in top brands. I had place my order in for the 30/06 case and did received them.
Being I change my mind, look for 280AI cases. It took me almost a year to get 500 of them. Cost was about $470 for the 500. Then I took on another rifle build. 25/280AI chamber. Order out another 500 cases. There cost was about $550.00 for 500. I looked the same amount is $825.00 for 500 now.(out of stock) On the 25/280AI reamer they lost the order, and wouldn't honor the order for sometime. It was well over 7 months. On 25/280AI order out a barrel at the same time. It took a year, and they sent the wrong barrel out. So I lost that time. Presently place an order with two different companies, waiting to see who comes up first. I cancell the other barrel at that time.
Now I order the 500 280AI case the first time. I called Peterson and they said it would be about Sept. of that year. They came in within a month of that.
Hell almost everything I purchase is out of stock. So get in line, and Wait.
Look at powders, and primers in LRP. Good luck!
What's really bad is when they drop the order, don't want to stand up for it. Even being shown that order was confirm to start with. I don't call that right either.
Finally the last thing. Just how much equipment do you think they should purchases. You can go broke with equipment that not being used. The market are up and down all the time. I partly deal in recycled metals. I watch the price go up and down all the time. We just got done setting up about a $2,000,000 site. We could use another $500,000.00 to complete with additional equipment or would like to have. It's only money, and you have to make it count.
So get inline and place your orders.
