    I make them for a buddy from 25-35 cases. He bought the dies, after fire forming just neck size. They're slightly short initially according to the few originals I have measured, but seem to flow to +/- a couple thousandths after a few firings.
    I have heard that using 38-55 brass as a parent case fixes the length problem - especially the long version from starline.
    I had heard that there either is or will be 'Winchester Basic" brass available from someplace, but I haven't ever seen it. I'm betting that it would be extra long so as to accommodate all with the same basic case.

    "Reloading Brass USA" shows in stock. But it's Qual Cart brass who hasn't made anything for a hot minute, maybe check them out.

    It's reformed 38-55. So head stamp would indicate that

    I always heard that you can just use 25-35 winchester. How much difference is there?

    There is some pictures in this thread on cartridge collectors - https://forum.cartridgecollectors.or...marlin/63583/7 I don't contribute much because it's over my head. Sure is interesting though.
