30-40 Krag brass?

[lafayne]

Looks like I will soon be the owner of a Ruger No. 3 in 30-40 Krag. It also looks like brass may be hard to find. Any suggestions here.

Huntingtons.com lists Remington 30-40 Krag new brass. They are usually very good about having what they list or are able to get it/

It's out there. I just bought 100rds of nickeled Krag brass a month ago.

Most of the catalog reloading supply places have .30-40 Krag brass, Midway, Graf & Son, Mid South Shooters Supply are just a few that come to mind. A lower cost alternative would be to post a want ad in the forum classifieds for once fired brass. If you have surplus brass in another caliber you might be able to work out a trade, that way the .30-40 brass would cost only the postage. I've acquired brass that I needed that way several times.

Thanks for the suggestions - still looking. I did find a friend who has factory ammo that we will trade out.

Buy it now! 30-40 is one of the 'seasonal' or occassional runs. It will be in short supply at some point.

It is already in short supply according to my inquiries. My associate is holding the rifle for me until he returns from vacation. Another friend mailed me that he has ammo to send me. So far I have found no brass.

I have an unopened bag of Winchester. 50 unprimed been sitting in my gun closet for a few years. Midway list it at $26 when available. How about $25 shipped? Mail me at [email protected] if interested. Will ship it USPS Priority mail.

TSqared and Bruce. I replied to both mails.
