Brass?

[Mark W.]

Anyone seen any? I'd love to pickup another 50-100 rds. I guess if I have to I can go buy some and empty it. One of the small town hardware stores has some for $30.00 a box. BUT man I hate wasting rounds to make brass.

Mark,
Try ET BRASS Home Page they had Rem head stamp at the last Indy 1500 Show, I bought some from them, very good to deal with. Approx. 30.00 per 50 count, four of them were pre-gooned from the factory. I have not had any dealings with them over the net. It is worth a shot.

-- I presume that this refers to 30-40, otherwise I am seriously off track!
You can probably reform good old British .303 cases quite successfully, even if they will be a tiny bit short.
Krag neck diameter is a gnat's whisker larger, and case length to shoulder is smaller. Shoulder width is larger
So if you anneal the neck + shoulder you can probably feed a well-lubricated 303 case straight into the 30-40 die, if you take it easy.
Then fireform. OK, it's more work, but if you are really stuck and can pick up some 303 cases...

Huntington did have some in stock as of last week.
