Out of caution, I never buy other people's 'used Brass'. But, a gentleman had four 50 round bags of .30-40 cartridge cases, 'hidden' in plain view on a very cluttered table. I took a look at one of the bags.
The bag I examined had a variety of makes, some old and some not too old. They didn't look abused and for $20, I got all four bags (totaling 200 cartridge cases).
Sorting them, when I got home, I was surprised to find 86 new/never primed Remington cases, mixed in with the old! There was only one cracked-neck, (a W.R.A. .30 Army), in the whole stash.
I'll be doing some annealing this week!
I had been intending to get some .303 British Brass, to 'reform' and back-up, the healthy amount of .30-40 Krag Brass I have. This new acquisition makes that route unnecessary.
A major manufacturer providing new .30-40 Brass 'On Demand' would be preferred, but, old stock is out there. Sometimes, when you least expect it.
