340 brass??
Where can I find some? Confused

I now have a leopard hunt set for July. Want to use my 340 Wby. Problem - last trip over, there were some "complications", and I left two boxes of reloads over there. So I'm down to 10 Norma and 20 Weatherby new, unprimed cases. Have looked in the usual places and cannot find any new stuff.

Any ideas??

I would think you can kill one leopard with 30 pieces of new brass. Just a guess; never killed one.

I'd hope one shot from a 340 would be enough for a 100 lb cat.

When I shot a 340 I had difficulty finding brass so I necked up 300 brass but you probably need the proper head stamp for kit of country travel.

It’s a challenge! I did get a pm from a forum member and have some brass coming.

Yeah! Form the .340 brass from some other long magnum case and save the .340 WBY. head stamped ones for when you go to Africa. SIMPLE!

Hoping to upload image. Old but once-fired Weatherby factory brass (Norma) that has been deprimed, tumbled, primer pockets cleaned, case mouth chamfered. Ready for loading. Glad I made the contact on Accurate Reloading.
