    30-40 krag brass

    Has anyone used Grafs 30-40 krag brass? Curious about the quality and who makes it? Would be for reforming.

    Yes. I've used it and have several hundred new pieces in reserve. It is good quality. I think it has been made by several makers during the time that they've sold it. My stash dates from a couple of years ago, and I'm pretty certain it is PPU. I've never reformed any as .30-40 is about right for me.

    I have reformed it to 40-50SS. I just got a different brand from them, that was on sale, and I'm in the process of reforming it now. Not sure who the primary manufacturer is on the Grafs and forget who made this second batch but it was a recognized maker. I have had no problems with the Graf's other than it had to be neck reamed for my purposes.

    Almost all my 30 40 brass is Grafs. It has been loaded many times with no issues.
