Buy their 3 box limit of 44-40 to hit $203.85 and you're good to go. That's $1.36 a round before tax. Definitely not a price I'd pay now that I reload it, but I know how it is getting started in a new cartridge.

Hey guys, I'd love to split it 50/50 for both of you. I put in this large backorder to make sure I could spread it out a little, and to help prevent the crazy gunbroker gouging that I'm already seeing now that starline did a large run. How's 500 a piece sound? Cotton Eye Joe

Hello! I have 1000 pieces of unfired starline made 32-20 brass. Charging $1 per 3 pieces. I use USPS flat rate shipping. 300 pieces fit perfectly in the small box, $10.40. Any more would require the medium box, $18.40. If you're in Tucson, AZ then I'm happy to meet up! -Cotton Eye Joe

I think the 25-20 was a Marlin cartridge originally, and is stamped as the "25-20M" on many Marlin 1894s. Not because they refused to put Winchester's name on the gun, but because it was not invented by Winchester. Additionally, Marlin seemed fine stamping "38-W" and "44-W" on their 1889 rifles, which I've always found interesting. Always something I think, when I see the misattributed "WCF" suffix that many like to put on the 25-20, 32-40, 38-55, and some of the Sharps cartridges. And I'd think a 25WCF would refer to the 25-35, but I don't usually see people use that vernacular for that cartridge.

I don't think I've ever heard of a Marlin 1881 in 38-56. That was only in the 1895, as far as Marlin guns go.
