Stockpile on powder, brass, primers and bullets. Times are tough and you’ll be needing them.
@soumya sarkarI'm in the market for my next rifle a bolt action in 9.3X62, as my search continues I find reloading components mainly brass, primers etc available as of today. Would you stock up on them or wait till you get the gun first.
Those BFRs are awesome! Wish I could afford one. I had to settle for a barely used (no evidence it had ever been shot) Ruger Super Redhawk in .454 Casull with a 9" ported barrel. It shoots well though with factory ammo. Haven't bought reloading components for it yet.As soon as I know I'm purchasing a new calibre I go and buy reloading components straight away, just did it with 45 Colt and 454 Casull, I ordered a new BFR revolver chambered in 454 Casull and I already have 100 rounds of 45 Colt loaded for it before the revolver has even arrived, hopefully it turns up this week.
I stock up on components for any caliber I have interest in. It's been quite awhile since I bought a rifle in a new caliber that required getting components or ammo after the fact. Currently have at least 6 calibers waiting on a rifle to feed them through. Found a closeout on 9.3x62 loaded ammo (60% off) that put 200 loaded rounds in inventory almost a year before I found the rifle; the brass will last through many subsequent reloadings. Buy what you can, when you can. But with patience and diligence you won't have to pay the scalpers on GB the exorbitant $$$ they are trying to fleece people out of.I'm in the market for my next rifle a bolt action in 9.3X62, as my search continues I find reloading components mainly brass, primers etc available as of today.

Mine arrived yesterday, has to be seen to be believed these things, such a cool revolver I'm really happy with it.Those BFRs are awesome! Wish I could afford one.

@CBH AustraliaIts a standard chambering but things are scarce so grab some stuff.
I would get dies and cases. Keep a healthy stock of primers and powder because projectiles can be posted.
I've done this before with a few including my .280a.i build
Being ready means I'm ready when the next new rifle turns up.
I own a set of .260rem dies, I can neck up some once fired .243 brass if I can't source brass.
Fast twist barrel and a long throat, sounds like a thing for the .260rem. sounds like the twist and throat have held it back and those limitations are the things identified in the Creedmoor chambered rifles. Open up the throat and unleash the potential of the .260@CBH Australia
Just rebarrel that 243 to 260 mate your wife will love you for it. A far better cartridge. Get a fast twist barrel and long throat it that way you can use the FULL POTENTIAL of the 260.
Far better cartridge than the 243 with not much more recoil.
Come on mate you know you want to do it. TSE do s great match grade stainless, just send the barreled action to them and they will even do it to the same profile.

But pay attention to magazine length - the other limiting factor of the 260 Rem.Fast twist barrel and a long throat, sounds like a thing for the .260rem. sounds like the twist and throat have held it back and those limitations are the things identified in the Creedmoor chambered rifles.

Or just put a 6.5 Creedmoor barrel on it and join us on the Dark Side. Problems solved!
