Try http://www.huntingtons.com call their toll free number 1-866-735-6237 for stock.

http://www.midwayusa.com is accepting back orders with a due date 0f 8/29/2009

http://www.impactguns.com/store/winchester_brass.html is accepting orders.

Buffalo Arms has them formed from .38-55 until they are available again. http://www.buffaloarms.com/browse.cfm/4,139.html

.32-40 is probably like .348 Winchester, a seasonal item produced when they have enough demand.

Otherwise it can be formed from .30-30, .32 Special or .38-55, or even .375 Winchester brass although the cases come out slightly shorter. Good luck.

Just run a 30-30 case through a 32-40 fls. It comes up a bit short but seat the bullet to the proper oal. I've been doing that for 30+ years with many old 32-40's.---------------Sixgun

Hi Bruce,

Did you find any 32-40 brass? I am after some as well.
I have run 38-55 cases through 32-40 dies with good results but would like some 32-40 head stamped brass as well.
Tried 30-30 but they end up about 2mm too short.

Please let me know if you found some.

Regards, Pop.

Pop,

No luck so far.

I am using .30-30 cases, which as you and Sixgun have mentioned come up a bit short.
