Buffalo Arms in Ponderay, ID shows to have the Redding F/L die set and some Hornady loaded .33 Winchester ammo in stock. Graf & Sons also shows they have the same F/L die set available at a lower price.
Thanks,
Gus
I think the tough part will be acquiring new brass. Several Members recently contacted Starline Brass and they were not given encouragement. You should look at their Website 3 or 4 times a year to see if they list the 33 WCF as available for backorder. I think that means they are contemplating an eventual run and want to start accumulating backorders.
I had placed a backorder for .41 Long Colt brass and , after 6 months passed, I got a call from them inquiring whether I wanted to cancel or leave in place. No assurance when they might fill it but I kept my order active. About a month later they charged my card and sent me a ship notice. As always, the brass was first rate.
I’ve read from reliable sources you can convert 45/70 brass, although it helps to have two intermediate resizing dies. The late Mike Venturino wrote about doing it in his book, Shooting Lever Guns of the Old West.

One of our forum members just gave me lead on procuring some 33 WCF brass. The only problem is that the smallest quantity that I can buy is 2,600.

I think there are several members looking for 33wcf brass. If the price were reasonable and 10 guys would commit to 250 cases each, ..
Is this new brass and is there a price for the whole lot?

That’s not bad. When Mark Douglas and I were looking into having some Henry brass made the smallest order the company would make was 25,000. Then for some unknown reason they decided not to make any?

Bill,
It is Jamison brass, and it is in an online auction that does not close for 35-days. I suspect that it will be $2,000+ before the bidding ends, and there is no guaranty that I can secure the high bid. I will follow it and see how high it goes.

Bert,
I’ve had no personal experience with Jamison brass but I’ve heard the quality is variable. If it were StarLine I’d take several hundred dollars worth of it even though I don’t have a rifle for the cartridge. I’ll take a pass on it but maybe I can help.
I’ll go back to the thread I recall; the one that had Members making inquiries and send a group PM to make sure they’re aware of the possible opportunity and suggest they form a “cartel” to contact you and pursue a bid.

Steve, Do you have any interest in some 33wcf brass?

I could be interested in 200-250 cases if someone picks up the lot. Bill

Bill –
That’s an interesting question. Previously, I wouldn’t have described my supply of .33 WCF as a, “lifetime supply.” Now, I’m strongly leaning toward the reality that it likely is.
10-4. With other calibers, I’ve made the same grim discovery.
Have you had any experience with Jamison brass?.

Bill, So far, nobody has come forward to quarterback it and nobody else has offered to take a piece of it except you. If I had more time, I’d ask Bert to bid on it for me and then parcel it out. Unfortunately I don’t have the time.

If the bid does not get run up too high, I may go ahead and buy the lot of 2,600. I can always load them and sell 50-round boxes.
