Thanks, I’ve seen the brass as well. A video posted by Nosler a couple weeks ago said they started shipping. However, the dealers that I’ve spoken to say that their distributors still have not received any.
I'm running into the same issue. I called Nosler yesterday. The Rep on the phone stated that there was an issue with their brass supply. However, they expect a shipment within an week and will be running ammunition immediately. His best guess was that the suppliers should be receiving their ammo...
I'm a PA guy as well who hunts out west fairly often. Like others have mentioned, buy a quality pack up front and you'll be very happy. I own several brands and this year I purchased an EXO 5500. I should have done this a long time ago! Took it whitetail hunting this year and it performed great...

Got my new EXO 5500 early last month and have used it a few times so far in hunts. By far the most versatile, well-made, comfortable pack I’ve ever used. I like the pack so much that I plan on buying a 3500 this year as well! Great packs, and great company.
