Pee Wee #15785 Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 .38-55 long StarLine 2.125" on back order!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goody, SASS #26190 Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Saw a post last week on another site, the Firearms Forum. Fellow said he saw where they were backordered, but as he didn't really need them in a hurry went ahead and ordered. They arrived in a couple of days. Now I don't recall if he specified long brass or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Knight Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Out of curiosity, how much of a difference have folks seen in using the longer brass? I ordered up some regular length when it became available a couple weeks ago, so deciding if I should grab some of the longer length.

Load to your gun with what you can get. What is important is that your brass is all the same length for good consistent crimp and boolit pull.

Frontier Lone Rider Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 Plus, your rifle may not like the long brass. I shoot a Marlin 336 CB in 38-55 and a Wesson Harrington Target Classic in 38-55. Not only does the Target Classic not like the long brass, it will not release Winchester Brass. It handles the Starline Brass just fine. The Marlin will use whatever I can load. Frontier Lone Rider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VICIOUS, SASS#8014 Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Howdy; H and R classic, pinch's Winchester brass 2.08 so I trim them back to 375 Winchester length 2.020. YEA I know that the chamber could be re-cut to proper length but this is Canada. Bras is easier to deal with. Heard the chamber were factory cut with 375 Winchester tool, or so the roomer goes.
