.348 Win?

Winchester lists one load for it on the Ammo site, and I heard you can still buy brass from them. 200gr Silvertip 2520fps #X3483

Shooter's Choice, in Waterloo, Ontario, lists Winchester ammo too. They say they keep it in stock. Cheap, it ain't though. $77.95 per 20 for the 200 grain ammo. Brass is a bit better at $52.95 per 50.
Your local gun shop can order ammo for you. Be prepared to pay up front.
It uses an RCBS #5 shell holder. Only cartridge that does, so that'll likely be an order thing too. Or a Lyman #18.
I have data if you need/want it. 200 and 220 jacketed and 187 and 255 cast with gas check. Cast bullets are Lyman #'s 350447 and 350482. They don't list those molds now though.
Finding bullets might be an issue. Hornady makes a 200 grain Interlock FP. Barne$ makes a 220 and 250 grain FNSP. No Sierra's, Speer's or Nosler's.

A guy on site that has come through for me with some of the harder to find stuff on a number of occassions is Henry Nierychlo. Perhaps send him a PM. Now that Winchester is running the odd production run with their 200gr Silvertips, there may be the some floating around from time to time. Actually, some of my brass I've picked up at local gun shows and I picked up a couple bags of 50, I 'think' from P&d.

I happened to find my RCBS #5 shell holder at WSS in Edmonton. I usually stop in for a shopping trip there and at P&d when I'm visiting in the area. 200gr Hornady FP's are usually not too hard to come across. It was a little more difficult to get my supply of 220gr and 250gr Barnes originals. I also lucked out and acquired two old boxes of 200gr Winchester bullets. There are two cast bullets I get from a friend locally that's into casting. a 230gr RNGC and a 262gr RNGC, both of which look a little like the Lyman #350482.

Not the easiest components to come across but again, give Henry a shout. He may be able to help.
