Want to buy 40-65 Win

[Big Timber SASS #19724Life]

I finally got my Browning BPCR in 40-65 Winchester.

I need brass, dies ,bullets or molds and ammo. 

What you got hanging out in the gun room.?

Thanks

I just got into shooting 40-65 myself.  Good luck finding brass but it can be made from 45-70.  Watch ebay for bullet molds.  Also the castboolits forum and assra forum.  Both have a classifieds section.  There is also a BPCR facebook page and one of the members there swapped some bullets with me.  Good luck, it is a fun caliber.

I've been shooting a 40-65. 45-70 can be necked down and then cut back to the correct length.Star Line offers 40-65. Not always in stock.

 

But...... theres always a but. They say on the order page their brass is not the correct length. Short by about .015". I measured it and it's short.

I believe I inherited some 45/70 brass that had been converted. If someone would be kind enough to send me the dimensions I'll check what I have and for the cost of shipping I'd be happy to send it your way.

Thanks for the list . 

Did you have 1 or 2 that worked better in your BPCR than the others?

This came from my Lyman  4th loading book . 

I'm interested in hearing what you have for brass

I will take the Saeco 640 if Big Timber does not want it.

I'm not sure which mold I want ,so go ahead and the Saeco  if you want to

FYI, when my wife had a 40-65 I found many reloaders don't want once fired 45-70 leverevolution brass due to the shorter length and I could buy it for about half price, you're going to shorten the brass anyway

Just something to look for

Ghost, thanks for the heads up
