Who has SSA 6.8 brass in stock? I checked SSA's website and they are out of stock. I also didn't see any listed on the EE.

Common.  You'll have to keep checking the SSA website for it to appear.  It usually doesn't last long.

That's what I was afraid of. When I saw that $41/100 price and nearly broke the keyboard trying to put it in my cart. This is what I get for waiting until the last minute.

I'm not sure if it's worse now than it was months ago however.  I remember people posting about this and sure enough SSA would be out but in a week they would have more.  I stocked up several months ago so don't worry about it as much now.  I think I found a place with Hornady brass but it's in more short supply than SSA and costs much more.  And not many people want Remington brass due to the large primers.

I'd check SSA at least every other day.

You can buy Hornady 110gr factory OTM loads for $18.00 a box and save your brass. I have been loading the same 200 pieces of 6.8 brass for 2 years, you cant even read the head stamp on some of the SSA brass but the Hornady brass seems to not show pressure signs at the case head like SSA because I have loaded some screamers and the Hornady brass doesn't even have an ejector mark or has no marks at all.

I have 400 pieces of new SSA brass but who knows when I'll start using it, I have yet to see an old one fail yet and they are way over book max loads everytime.
