BACO was selling 40-70 SS brass made from stretched Krag brass, which should be easy to squoze down to 35 Win.


Rather than pay the huge price for the BACO brass, why not just buy the cheap 9.3x74R brass and it will be even easier to make .35 Win from? And at $30 per 25 for Hornady, or $15 per 25 from Nosler it saves a bunch of money.

I realise this thread is a year old now but.................

Where would I look to purchase a reamer in this 'modern' (38/55) 35/40 ?

I have 38/55 and 32/40 at this stage so figure I'd like to keep my next project simple
and stay with this case. I have a few heavy 357 molds (35 Whelen) so there's a start as well.

Hopefully I can purchase a reamer and have it sent over here to Oz as buying a barrel in The States and having it cut then sent over seems to be a problem.

Any help here would be very much appreciated,
Thanks Ian.



Old thread..
Did you ever build your 35-40..?
Pacific Tool cut my 35-40 reamer from Dan Theodor's (sp?) sorry Dan, drawing.
I use the 38-55 brass @ 2.08"
although I thought about the 2.12" 32-40 brass
for my next build

Ian,
I did not get around to building the 35/40 yet. I keep defaulting to the 25/35 Imp as my go-to deer rifle.

Sorry, I haven't attended confession lately. 🤣
No I haven't got there yet. The $$ exchange rate plus a hike in international shipping costs has put it out of reach. Even locally made barrels have jumped in price. We'll just have to be patient. 👍🇦🇺

Well keep us up to date if you build your 35-40..
IIRC from a prior post, You live in OZ, correct...?

Given the recent news of lock downs and such (argg)
We wish you luck in voting out the tyrants..

Can anyone share a drawing of this chamber reamer using the Starline 2.125" brass?

Thanks

There is an interesting article on the 35-40 Lewis-Maynard in the current issue of the Black Powder Cartridge News.  Lots of information instead of speculation and supposition.

Yes that is a good article based on using the shorter case with straight 0.380 neck. I would like to see a drawing of the long case reamer which I read has a slight taper and tighter neck.

Labop,

Disclaimer: I am "Nube" to machining, tool and die
protocols etc.

So attached is a Pacific Tool drawing of the 35-40.
This is the drawing I have, not necessarily the one you want. 

I can't say if the 35-40 drawing is to be used for the shorter 38-55 brass (2.085) or the longer 38-55 (2.125) or something else. 

The 2.032 number is confusing to me as I'm not sure of the drawings nomenclature.
Is the "Datum" line the bottom of the case body, not including the rim..?, I suspect it is.

I reviewed the SAAMI Cartridge and Drawing web site. (You need to Login or Register to view media files and links).

They do not use the same format as Pacific 

If someone out there can educate me (us) it would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Bob

PS I can send the xcel file to an email address
if needed to forward

Hi Bob

I have had Pacific make a couple of reamers for me. The way I read the Pacific Tool print is that the data line is at the base of the case not including the rim. That would put the chamber length including a 0.057" thick rim at 2.080" The drawing in BPCN would have 2.082" chamber if the rim was 0.057". That print does not call out a rim thickness. The 2.032" dimension includes the transition from chamber to freebore. The freebore  in your drawing is 0.150" whereas the BPCN drawing shows no freebore as both dimensions are 2.035". Both of these chambers would use the short brass. Thanks for sharing your drawing.
So I am still looking for a design using the long brass.

Do a search on this site for "35-40 dies and bullet(s) ". On the first page there is 3 drawings for different versions of the 35-40.

Thanks 25cal. Those drawings show the use of 2.080 brass. HpGuy420 states in a post Apr 02, 2014 that the Mike Lewis used the 2.125 brass. I"ll give Mike a call and see if he has that drawing.
