All,

I also posted this on the Auto Mag corporate forum:

All—I stopped by the Starline booth at the NRA Indy show Sunday and thanked them for supporting us. I have recently placed an order for 500 rounds of 44 AMP brass which is backordered. I asked them how they operate and what I can expect in terms of a delivery date. 

They said they make brass in batches and typically wait until they have a certain order threshold before scheduling a batch for production. The fact that they are allowing people to place orders is supposedly a good sign—it indicates that production should begin in the relatively near future. Obviously the more orders they get the sooner they will reach their target value to start production. 

I asked him what might be a reasonable expectation for 44 AMP and he couldn’t really commit, but suggested the fact they are available to order suggests they might be produced within the next 12 months, 18 at the outside.

I guess I'll order some 44 AMP to help make the list big enough.  I have sold a few hundred pieces to members here to help out when they needed some.  

I just ordered some 38 S&W (not special) from them this weekend as it was in stock.  It now shows out of stock.  I hope it actually comes now and I was just on the tail end.  They won't make that again for a while either...

Thanks for the heads-up!  I bumped it by 1 bag also.

Has anyone received an order from Starline for AMP cases? I'm still waiting on the order I placed last October... I've ordered other caliber brass from them before but don't recall having to waiting this long. It wasn't instant but not a year either

I have not received mine or had any updates.

Many years ago I was "a little impatient" and called them on an order.  They told me that they prioritize orders by volume of requests/orders.

IE: 44AMP brass may have 2000 qty requests, and 9mm has 2 million qty requests.  So they set up and run the most requested plus more to put into stock.  Then they gear up for the next caliber and run a batch of those.  The lower qty requests (unfortunately) sit lower on the list and take the longest to get to.

Thanks for the reminder and I think I'll shoot them an email asking for a "rough timeline".

I'm beginning to wonder if Starline will ever make another run of AMP brass again... if it takes much longer I will have waited 2 years since placing my order...
