Doc Altman SASS#74468 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Looking for some .38-55 brass to hold me until Starline gets caught up with production. Ideally, I’d like to buy 20-40+ rounds of Starline long (2.125”) .38-55, but I’ll take anything I can find at this point. If anyone has some they can spare, please let me know and we’ll work it out. Thanks!! —Doc Altman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Eli Taylor Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 If you can't find any you can use 30-30 until you find what you are looking for. I have a 38-55 High Wall I am going to list with bullets, brass and dies but I don't want to just sell the brass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Altman SASS#74468 Posted April 28, 2021 Author Share Posted April 28, 2021 Thanks, Marshal. I’d forgotten that was an option. I’ve got quite a bit of spare .30-30 brass, so that’ll work. Appreciate it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filthy Harry, SASS #24924 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 If anyone had enough to spare, I'm looking for one round of 3-.55 loaded as a blank. No powder, could even have a spent primer. Just brass and lead. I want it for my gunbelt to put in center of loops as John Wayne did with a 45-70 round. I just got a Duke rig to replace my B Western that shrunk. I'd be gald to pay whatever it's worth plus shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Willi Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 i was looking for some a while back with no luck So I posted an add on other forums looking for ammo and found several boxes that were about the same cost as the components! Not that they were cheap, but I do not recall the price for positive but in the $1 a round neighborhood! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remind me in a couple of weeks. —Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filthy Harry, SASS #24924 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Thank you. Used to be easy to get that kind of thing, but nowadays even the common stuff is hard to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Altman SASS#74468 Posted May 1, 2021 Author Share Posted May 1, 2021 QDG, Thank you! I sincerely appreciate the offer, but another member (who shall remain nameless because he sent me a PM---Thanks, Ad!) offered to send me some, so I should be in good shape for load experimentation until I can get some from Starline. Thanks again! --Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PM me your address and I'll get a dummy .38-55 round headed your way. --Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
