Tom Bullweed Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Georgia Arms sells cowboy loads of .32, .38 and .44WCF cartridges loaded in Starline brass year round. Their prices are fair and the loads are consistent. This is my source when I cannot find new Starline brass. You can swage the .44WCF down to .38WCF, but the thin brass is more likely to crack quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
long tall texan Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Dip the case mouth in graphite powder about every 2 cases to ease the expander die in. You'll lose a few anyway. If the brass is old, and cracks too often, you'll need to anneal it before expanding. If you don't know how to do that, drop me an email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
