	I've settled on the 30-32 for starters with the 044 1/2 (with a 30-30 for starters with a 44 1/2 or CPA in the future). The 28-30 will probably come second for the little Stevens. I've read differing comments on 28-30 brass. Some burgeoning on not so good for Rocky Mtn. But others stating its fine. I take it there is no basic brass on which the case could be formed. Given this, what would be the best source of brass choice for the cartridge?

	It can be formed by different brass and there was an article on how to go about it in the ASSRA Singleshot Journal. If memory serves me right the donor cartridge being used is damn near as hard to get as the factory brass. Hopefully someone will chime in with which journal it is published in.

	Found the donor brass to use. Huntington's sells [or did] 6 x 70R brass that can easily be sized for the 28/30 Stevens, it is very nice brass made by Norma. Don't look for 6 x 70R brass in your cartridge books, it ain't there. ledball

	A bit more information about forming 28-30 brass in an old discussion. Article in the Journal was written by Ken Meyer if that helps to locate which Journal the article is in. (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links)
