Well hell, I knew you were a smith. Nice rifle. What years did Savage produce this model?

12 years, 1928-40. The 40 and 45 were basically the same, the 45  being the "upgrade". They were chambered in 250-3000, 300, 30-30, and 30-06. They're neat old rifles.

For Werndl brass, the .348 works (but as you say, it's a little short)... 
If you have access to Starline .50-110 brass, it too makes good Werndl brass, but the neck is a little thick, and needs turning.  
.50-110 makes excellent basic brass for a whole host of cartridges that the .348 is often used to form... and has the advantage of starting out as a cylinder.

Thanks - I'll see if I can run some down. .348 is easier ATM because I only have a crude modelmaker's lathe ( (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links) ) and no 3-jawed chuck for it - yet.

I keep meaning to ask you - do you shoot the Werndl? If you do, which model is it, and if a M77, what do you do for brass?

I was thinking of thinning the rim from thefront and fire-forming .348 Win. Turns out a bit short, but only a bit.

Someday I'll shoot it.  Bullets on hand that fit the bore are an RCBS muzzle loading .43 caliber hollow base.  BUT the chamber was sleeved and marked .45-70.  Hmmm.  Need to get a handful of .348's and fire form them.
