Big Timber SASS #19724Life Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Spade Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irish ike, SASS #43615 Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 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.

Turkey Flats Jack Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 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.

grey ghost Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
