Looking for brass

F1609 · 02-29-2008, 09:11 PM

I'm looking for some Winchester .348 Brass... all i can seem to find is some stuff on Gunbroker.com, but most of them are asking about 40+ for 50, and i know thats a little over priced. Any other ideas on where i can find some brass?

It's a little cheaper at Cabela's $29.99 per 50, $58.99 per 100, $289.99 per 500. I checked sportsmans guide and cheaper than dirt neather carry this caliber.

Don't know, but is there something he can fire form?

billy · 03-01-2008, 09:41 AM

yes he can .
i found a number of threads about it at a glance

F1609 · 03-01-2008, 04:09 PM

fire form? whats that? lol, im new about reloading. gonna start off with the little lee hand press kit, 34.99

, while i save up for a better press, also so i can get the workout.

I thought of that but can't find a parent case as the .348win is a rimmed case with a .610" rim and .535" body and everything else I find is smaller.The .30-40 is a .545" rim and .457" body and the Brit. .303 is .540" rim and .460" body.There must be one out there but I havnt found it. sam.

If you are going to use the hand press ,if the cartridge doesnt go fairly easy,back it out and relube no matter how many times you have to do it.If you set your resizing die right,you can resize about 1/2 to 3/4,s of the neck and that is all you need.But when it starts chambering hard you will have to push the shoulder back in and full length resize which means re,trimming.These must be crimped because of the tubular magazine,and you must use round nose bullets.Since that is all they make as far as I know in .348 (if you can find them) that is no problem.If you use only moderate loads the cases should last a long time and not be too hard to size.Max loads will really mess up casings.It is a good deer cartridge at moderate ranges. sam.

thanks a lot sam. My grandfather used the rifle before me for deer, he always had good luck with it. And i also heard that it is a really accurate rifle as well, is that true?

The .375 case is,rim .506,body .4108,that is too small.The .348 is,rim .610,body .535,it just cant stretch that much.Casings are out there if you can find them. sam.
