219 Zipper question
I just picked up a 219 Zipper.Does Winchester still make limited runs of Zipper brass?

I have a bunch of fired 25/35 WCF brass.Can I form this into Zippers or should I anneal it first?Can I just run cases through the Zipper sizing die or do I need expensive form dies?

Thanks in advance.

All you need to do is give it a pass in your 219 Zipper die and your ready to go

I don't think they have made any for years. But, the .25/35 brass should be the easiest to reform. I used to make it from .30/30 cases, and lost a lot of brass during the forming process.
