Really he should I do not know if 32-40 even has any commercial loading still I haven't seen any since the 1970's and they were custom loads in black powder.

I know where I can find you two (20 round) boxes of recent production brass... it's in the bargain cave at Cabela's in Hamburg, PA.

It was like $30-box...

Thomas,
$30/20 for brass is a bit steep and you still have to load them. If he has access to a press & dies then simply run new 38/55 brass into a FL die in one pass and he will have cases.

I have 4 Winchesters 32/40 and cast my own projectiles from a Lyman mould 170gn and Paul Jones 210gn for use in the low wall target rifle.


Hold still varmint; while I plugs yer!
If'n I miss, our band of 45/70 brothers, will fill yer full of lead!

Well, it was properly headstamped modern production brass....

If I had a 32-40, yeah, I'd just resize 38-55 brass too to shoot it.
