I understand that it is not hard to make out of 32 Winchester Special , 30-30 and 38-55 . I have read that it just a matter of lubing the cases good and running them into the 32-40 sizing die a little at a time till you get all the way in . This is what I read from an internet search not something I know because I have done it.

Have not heard anything about them doing away with brass. That would be sad.
I did just luck out for the day. Wife and I were riding the RZR and found a place where town folks go to shoot. Bonanza!! We picked up 47 pieces of once fired 30-30 brass and some other calibers as well.
I also just sold 400 pieces of NIB, 300 Wby Mag, winchester brass to a couple of guys for .50 each.
I couldn't use it and felt it was good to give someone a break.
This is my very first post on this site.
Hope this is OK and in keeping.
