OP, I hope your experience with the RCBS is as good as mine has been. I love the APS strips to be certain. Never a cocked primer, or reversed primer. Straight in, each and every time.

Must have been old stock then as like many, I received the notification from Midway that Winchester won't be making anymore 32-40 brass for reloading.

How about a variation of the muzzle device called the B.O.S.S. which Winchester had on some of their rifles in years past? I've seen them on F Open rifles, and their owners shot very well indeed?

Ibemikey, where are you finding Winchester 32-40 brass? I finally gave up and form Starline 38-55 to 32-40. OP. Your quest is ambitious. As I understand it, the 33-40 conversion was often done by HMPope on tired 32-40 barrels more as cost savings. Since the 32-40 is an original chambering in...

There are some subtle and some not so subtle differences between a pistol caliber lever rifle and a rifle cartridge. I really like my Uberti 1873 in 357 magnum. It was my favorite go to rifle for most anything for a long time. It is pretty heavy and has a different balance than say my 1894 in...

Either 32-40 or 310 Cadet with its outside lubed heeled bullet.

I realize there is little commonality between a full diameter bullet, fixed ammunition cartridge, and my Schutzen load, but somewhere between 13.8 and 14.4 grains of IMR4227 makes a very accurate cartridge with a 200 grain Saeco cast bullet, breach seated or in fixed ammunition. Being cast...

Taggants?

SARuger, neat thing about the 30-30 Winchester is you can access the chamber to seat a sized case in there with your thumb, AND you can tell if the rim is seated flush to the chamber usually by looking or using feeler gages. If your shoulder is not being pressed back to "zero" on sizing, you can...

I like mine. With every new cartridge I'm buying some new bushing for the darned thing, and a "modified case". But it works as advertised. I've had it since it was the Stoney Point Comparator, pre Hornady.

32-40, 32-20 Martini (a 310 cadet opened up to accept 32-20 cases, but uses a heeled bullet).

I really like the APS hand priming tool. Never a cocked or backwards seated primer with this setup.

An aperture sight will sure help you access what accuracy there is in your rifle. My own 94 improved quite a little bit from "Lord knows if I hit the target" with those folding leaf express sights, to *just* over a minute of angle with a tang sight and globe front sight. I understand...

When I use the Hornady rings, I find a crescent wrench will allow me to snug them down just a little bit, enough to keep them in place.

In its niche, 5744 is pretty much the only game in town, especially since 4759 was discontinued. They can charge what they think it will sell for I guess.
