If you're really desperate for 30-40 brass

[madsenshooter]

I see in stock at various places, Jamison brass in calibers like 40-70 Sharps Straight, 40-72 Winchester, and 35 Winchester, that could be formed and trimmed to 30-40 Krag length. 35 Win would be the easiest, might need an intermediate 8mm die of some sort. A bit rich for me at nigh a buck and a half each. The .070 thick rim of the 40-70 might be a bit much for some rifles. Jamison has an online store of their own too. http://www.captechintl.com/products.php?cat=15 Hmm, 405 Winchester at a more reasonable price. I have made 6mm/30-40 Ackley improved from Hornady .405. I made one, sold the rest of the brass, I saw it could be done, and without fancy forming dies.

Unless full OAL is essential for crimping 303 Brit brass works and is a lot cheaper. I have used it, simply resize in a Krag sizing die and you have a slightly short 30/40 Krag case.

With PRVI .303 I used the rifle to size them down. I posted the info above for those who just gotta have the full length case, and those with deeper pockets than I have. One of my big studies when going to college in the 90s was Nonte's book on cartridge conversions.
