	I've got a lot of brass for my .32-40. Old, new, formed from whatever, or factory original. Makes no difference to me or my rifle if it's long or short- it all shoot just the same. At least with smokeless. I breech seat or load fixed with the cases I load up- don't even bother to choose. I do, however keep it sorted by identical batches. In a situation where the lubed case was carried afield, maybe the longer one is preferred to protect the lube better, but in a single shot at the range, what's everybody worried over?

	So you are concerned about short, etc cases? How about these that I picked from an estate of lifelong shooter. Two full boxes of old WRA,UMC S.A.Co, loaded in 1972 with 9 gr Dupont #75. Shows how far gone these cases were, but still in use. Second pic--I got lucky, also with the above: two full boxes of NEW WRA 32-40s beltfed/arnie

	Got these at a local show, 60 rounds of virgin WW 32-40 at .75 each. A bag of unopened 38-55 brass for $25.00. I'm set.

	I keep a list of dies on my reloading supply cabinet. One set rcbs cowboy 3 die set in 32-40 and a rcbs 32-40 case forming die. My stash of 32-40 brass is exactly 20 Canadian CIL 32-40 and 20 REN-UMC 32-40. And one bag of 50 WW 38-55 brass. Think I got it covered except I don't have a 32-40 caliber firearm. Bought the dies as a what if I did get one. Frank

	Cat_Whisperer, yep great minds do tend to think alike.I've got dies from guns I no longer own, die sets I once picked up when a major gun shop went out of business and occasional buys on the net. Frank

	Unless you are obsessed with headstamps use WW 38-55 brass . It is 2.080 but will stretch as you size it down. I use Imperial sizing die way and have always had enough to trim a little to square up the mouth. 40 Rod
