    Question Starline 38-55 Long (2.125) cases in stock?

    After reading the very good write up on the case mouth thickness vs chamber on 38-55 rifles, I decided to snag 20-50 cases for the old retrobate to try. The images of him taking 320 or 600 grit wet/dry sandpaper to some loaded cases so they would chamber sorta hints that thinner necks would help...

    Loading with Correct 38-55 Cases http://www.starlinebrass.com/article...t-38-55-Cases/

    So, Midway is out of stock. Not wanting to buy 100 cases from Grafs... Any other options to get the 38-55 2.125" case?

    Ohland:
    If you buy direct from Starline I'll take 50 cases off your hands (at $.70 apiece).

    OK, now what to do with the other 200 cases... I want 50....

    Note to all: I have NO issue with being the pivot man, but you will have to pick up shipping from me to you.

    If Midway had them in stock, they would be about 47 cents? Whatever, they are backordered...

    I think your 47 cents each from Midway is a bit optimistic !
    They are closer to 68 cents each plus shipping.
    Even mine with free shipping from Starline were not that reasonable.

    Math HURTS... yup, over 67 cents. Still only need 50 though.
