    Yo...v35What have you got that uses .38-40? Don't see many requests for that ammo. Got my last bunch from a guy in Delaware that reloads AND has decent prices. Damned if I'll pay $30+ a box for factory stuff.I run mine through a 1st Gen. Colt SAA.Mudge the cheap
    I can't come to work today. The voices said, STAY HOME AND CLEAN THE GUNS![This message has been edited by mudge (edited 11-12-2001).]

    Mudge- I've got a Colt Lightning rifle and a Colt New Service in 38-40. Up to now I have been consuming my 44-40 brass by reforming it to 38-40. It beats paying the higher pricefor 38-40. I need 44-40 for an SAA Colt and a Merwin Hulbert Pocket Army. I have an SAA in 44spl that was once a 38-40 and would consider converting back if I can get a good 1st gen. barrel and cylinder.

    If you have 1xF brass segregated by caliber, you can sell it at auction here, on other good sites and even on eBarf. The .308 / 5.56 won't bring a lot because there are tons - literally - of military surplus available, *processed*, for pennies per piece. If what you have is reasonably exotic, you can realize $.20 or more per piece. If you have ethics, you won't sell the multi-fired stuff. Check out the scrap metal dealers in your local yellow pages for that.

    Now if anyone has any once fired .32 winchester special brass. I form them into inexpensive .32-40's . I might be buying if the price is right. I've got a bunch of 30-30's I've done this with but it's more work and case life isn't as long.

    Yes, most scrap dealer buy the brass. I found a place where a class III dealer used to shoot his machine guns, and funded quite a few trips to the shooting range from the sale of his brass. HOWEVER Later I found that the fifty cal brass I had been scrapping would bring more to reloaders than to the scrap yard. Make somebody happy, sell it to a reloader, cheap.
