Interesting - was this picked up at the range by chance?

No. It came with other brass I got from a member here. I don't know where he got it. Some of the brass was virgin and some was fired. I haven't closely inspected this brass.

Great stuff for the Win 1895

Nobody has a Win 95 in 35 Win?

[Reverend Al]

Yep ... I have a '95 Winchester in .35 WCF. Another one of my "I'll get around to it one day ..." project guns ... :-(

Does it shoot? Or is it a collection of parts?

Looks like extra long 303 British. It would sure be a waste to case form it to 303.

No it's complete with a reasonably good bore ... just haven't got to it yet. I bought an "orphan" fl sizer die on eBay and will use a .358 Winchester seater die to load them. I have some .405 Win brass that I could reform, or will need to stretch some .303 Brit or .30-40 Krag brass in my Kal Max case stretcher to make them full length. One day ...

Want some?

Sorry, I just realized you are north of here and sending brass is likely a problem!

[BrassMagnet]

Maybe I should just blow this brass out to make "All Brass 2 3/4" 410 Hulls."

What a waste!

I shoot 35 Winchester in a 1895 most of my brass has been made from 30-40.

I'd love to have it, but as you say ITAR would not look kindly at you or me if you tried to ship it north of the border ... :-(

If no one else needs it, I have a home for it
Brass Magnet, I am in Louisiana right now but should
return home in a week or so
