    How about .351 Winchester Self Loading? Sure does seem like there are a lot of 1907 owners out there trying to figure out how to shoot theirs.

    I would think that now that they make the parent case .32-20, a run of .25-20 and .218 Bee would be easy.

    Here's my vote for Starline to make a run of .25-20 and .218 Bee next time they make a run of .32-20's

    don't forget Laupa brass is excellent as well
    I have had some bad brass from Starline for whatever reason
    so I do not usually look to them first but will settle on them if thats all I can get

    All the brass I have got has been good , there was a 41 mag piece in with the 45 colt though once , about all the reviews on the website for 32-20 is begging for a run of 25-20 , so do not get your hopes up , I do not shoot 25-20 but I would like to see them make some for those that do , picked up more 45colt and 32-20 just because I want to load more , have a lot loaded but you know always fun to load more then cast more , I would like to see runs of brass with correct headstamps as I load a few wildcats , but then again as long as I can make it from something else I will just keep doing that.

    x2 along with 20 vartarg(221 rem fireball), 30-40 krag and 8mm mauser basic brass too.


    i have a 44 special, 500 linebaugh and 30-30 brass that are starline. i use the 30-30 brass and i neck it to 35/30-30. i have shot some 500 rounds(100pcs of starline brass) of 35/30-30 and i don't have a problem with the brass. the 44 spl rounds is around 1000x(100 pcs) i have fired it and the brass still goes strong. the 500L brass(100 pcs) is around 600-700x and i can't complain about it either. i have 150pcs(of each caliber) left of the 30-30, 44 spl and the 500L, that are sitting my drawer. i don't anneal them either.

    i should have the 444 starline brass but i bought 500 remington cases before the 444 starline came out.

Jamison had some good brass but are no long in business and it appears Captech isn't going to continue making it.

    Starline has made a few cases that were sorely needed and may branch out to the 06 based cartridges, but IMHO I would prefer they resurrect some of the basic brass for obsolete cartridges.
    Amen to that! I've written to them several times about it. All we can do is keep writing to them and asking for it. Hopefully, they will see enough demand and start making them again.

    I'd like that too. I use it to make 32 Ballard XL. But I doubt we'll see it anytime soon. In the mean time I've been buying all the used 25-20SS and R2 Lovell brass I can find to make my Ballard brass.

    25/20 and 218 Bee would be nice. In the meantime, I'll keep reforming 32/20.

    A local gunstore is selling Winchester 25/20 @ $70 for 50 that's $AU1.40 per case
