WTB: .356 Winchester Brass or Ammo
Anyone have any .356 brass or ammo to sell?

Have a line on a Winchester 94 in .356, can’t find ammo for it.

Thanks,
SB

Kinda rare brass. Another option is to investigate forming from more common casings. I see the 444 Marlin, 307 Win, and possibly others listed as potentials.

Yeah, I researched that. Easiest path is to try to obtain the real thing first. Making .356 from .444 Marlin is plan B, but I don’t know if I want it that bad. Sometimes I don’t have much sense and like a challenge, then again, I may just say F it and get a Henry in .360. The Winchester is listed for 8 bills, and in good shape, which I think is a good price. If I can get a hundred or two off, that will sweeten the deal…

Much of the time one can get a better deal with oddball chamberings, assuming collector value isn’t a driver itself.

I know it’s not exceeding rare, but I bought 2 rifles in 284 Winchester with the above factoring in. The last was a Ruger 77 ‘flat-bolt’ dated 1970, with accessories. I did a 2nd visit to a gunshop about 6 months after looking over the consignment sale, the gun still there.

After more looking, a little back & forth, took the gun home. Had it been chambered in a common round, I doubt it would have stayed on the rack long, $1k.
