7x57 Brass?

I can't find any 7x57 brass anywhere. I've tried Midway, Sportsman's Warehouse and Bass Pro. Any ideas?

What can I make it out of?

I have lots of '06 brass, will that work?

I thought I would start off with 50-100 rounds. I just bought an FN Mauser, and since I have dies and bullets I hate to buy loaded ammo at these horrible prices.

I would be happy to work something out with you if you have spare.

I just bought some Winchester brand 7x57 from Graf and Son.
You might also check Midsouth and Natchez.
Midway was out of 7x57's recently, but that's unusual- most of the real reloading supply places will have one brand or other.

Dang Critch, I had a bunch of it with nothing to do with it, so I turned it into 6mm. I'll check to see if I have any leftover, but I don't it.

That's why I hate throwing anything away. As soon as you pitch it, you need it.

Well, Midway finally got some brass, after I ordered from Grafs, but that's ok. It's funny, I took my 57 year old 7x57 FN Mauser, my Remington 700 and a Ruger 77 out to sight them in, the FN out shot both of the newer rifles.
