	With the exception of one of my rifles, my 38-55's are chambered with Starline brass in mind. i.e. 0.075" thickness. I have one rifle that ideally wants case neck thickness to be 0.010" like the brass that WW used to sell. I have a few of the older cases but not many. Several years ago I used most of my supply to make .32-40 brass Is there any source of brass other than Starline? I'm not interested in forming from .30-30 as I want full length cases. thanks, Chris.

	Chris, I just bought 4 bags of 38-55 Winchester brass yesterday from Red River Reloading. They also had the cheapest prices but shipping was high so I suppose it works out the same in the end.

	Thanks. After my post I found that Buffalo Arms seems to have some in stock too... Chris.

	Cabelas has Winchester 38-55 brass in stock at about the same price as Buffalo Arms, plus free shipping on orders over $50.00 right now. I use it to make 32-40 cases and also in my 38-55 rifles. Steve

	Is .075” neck thickness correct?

They made this decision to solve some problems caused by the way people were using their old rifles. The Winchester thickness is more like most normal brass. Chris.

	Should the dimension not be 0.0075 rather than 0.075 for the neck thickness?

	Check bullets and brass to see if they really have any inventory. (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links)
