Just asking. Anyone know of any distributor marketing Winchester and or Remington brass in this caliber??? Both are still making loaded ammo but how about making the brass available?? Yes, I know about Starline and have some but just wondering about the other two. THANKS for looking.

Not an answer to the question, "Where to get Rem and Win, 38 S&W brass?", but a source I found for 38 S&W brass, was the South African Government surplused out the various old morter ignition rounds from their light infantry morter (WWII vintage). The unloaded blanks were 38 S&W cases, but had no headstamp at all! My best friend and I shared a 500 pack and I still have 100, They are every bit as good if not better than US commercial brass!

!

A link to order maybe?? ?

My best friend ordered them (maybe from shotgun news) but I have no idea.

Here's a crazy idea. I wonder if 9mm Makarov brass would work in moon clips in a .38 S&W revolver.

A quick look says diameter wise the Mak is a tad large but sized in a .38 S&W die would fix that. The Mak is a bit shorter. Hmmmm....

Then of course there's the fact you can convert 9mm Lugar brass to 9mm Mak. The Lugar is still a bit short of the .38 S&W but not much. But if you could convert Mak brass you could convert Lugar brass and be closer to the proper case length.

If I had a .38 S&W I'd definitely try this. The problem will be headspace/moon clip thickness but you should be able to work that out.

Of course you'd have to load it to .38 S&W pressures....I'm not advocating anything else.

A couple of years ago, there were many thousand .38 S&W unfired cases sold through government surplus sales. I was told they were used as the combustion chamber for the 40 m/m grenade rounds! I would have bought some but the minimum lot size was too intimidating.
