Will they (Starline) sell this 32-40 marked 38-55 brass to the public, or would Load-x sell any say 250 cases???

I ran by Load-X this afternoon while I was running errands in Santa Rosa.  I asked about buying 32-40 brass, and he replied emphatically that they weren't selling brass.

The LoadX price of $38 isn't too bad, but it may shoot like a scattergun if the bullet size isn't perfect for your bore. Might be best to sit down and pull bullets if going with LoadX vs. cleaning up a leaded up bore if it's too small for your groove.

I still think it's a conspiracy by the ASSRA SNOBs - Single-shot Narcistic  Octogenarian Breach-loaders.  They're still using brass first fired in 1972.

They have the fixed-ammo reloaders and Winchester M1894 shooters hyped up on obtaining .32-40 headstamp brass the SNOBs have hoarded in their basement.  I bet they even have CASES of unfired Winchester John Wayne ammunition!  Every time someone asks "What's an accurate SS caliber?" they say .32-40, then mentioned some religious guy named "Pope Harry."  Worn barrel – re-bore it to .33-40 so you can keep using that .32-40 head-stamped brass!  Watch at the range and you’ll see those guys smiling when they see someone’s fingers wrapped up – like the “cha-ching” of a cash register!  They're NOT senile - they're silently passing gas and smirking at us.

Once we're tired of smashed fingers and collapsed .38-55 brass they’ll flood the market with all the hoarded .32-40 head-stamped brass and we'll gladly pay them $5 or more per case for brass they bought for $.01 in 1970s.  It’s their retirement plan!  How do you think they afford those priceless antique SS rifles they keep taunting us with?  They have us hooked – look how we all “ooh” and “aah” at their targets!  We can't do that with our $6000 custom AR-15s.  Remember the Hunt brothers and the run on silver?  I'm onto you, you old coots!

Oh, Harry Pope?   NEVER MIND!

LMAO, CajunRebel.  SNOBs is a very funny conjecture, but there might be more truth there than you realize. 

I think I will convert all my historic CF's to RF's.  No worry about rollin' your own, paying exhorbitant prices for brass, investing $$$$$ in reloading equipment & supplies, etc, etc.
Just shoot the lowly .22 RF and have fun.

Ha!  They got you again.  Haven't you heard about the guy who buys unfired/primed 22LR brass, loads it with that obsolete, smelly BLACK POWDER , molds his own bullets, and BREACHLOADS.  They're at it again, enticing us with reports of unheard of accuracy.

I heard someone has been hoarding .22 EXTRA LONG!
