Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Savage Collectors OT the real unobtainum winchester 401SL brass

Well im posting this in a few places, I recently acquired a bunch of "NEW" winchester 401 self loading brass made by the Connecticut cartridge co. I know some dabble in other firearms then SAVAGE !! THis brass is new old stock from i dont know when. I know it has been just about impossable to find even before this craziness. I did some reserch and found the last time it was available at Graff and sons Bertram was $48.99 for 20 rds, Quality Cartridge had it for 33.99 for twenty. I would like to get $100 for 50 and i would ship for that price. As rare as this is i dont believe its out of line. I intend to post in the reloading forum also. Adds in the classifieds tend to get burried almost immediatly. Don

CCC brass was good stuff. I remember they came in green boxes of 20 back in the late 60's-early 70's. I fed my first Trapdoor .45-70 with the stuff, an M1884 Carbine.

Ive got a few boxes of 45-90 ive had for years!! been saving it for a rainy day.

You should be getting a barrel back real soon.

having this would almost be enough incentive to build a wildcat 99 in the caliber... !!

We will see how the 414 supermag works out first. I just went out and took inventory of my brass,i have over 80 different calibers !!!! stuff i have been squirreling away for over 50 years. Any of you guys looking for oddball brass?

Not too odd ball but I could use some 25-20

Ive got some 25-20, i'll have to check and see how many i have.

Dang, the show Randy and I went to Saturday had some. I thought about buying it so I’d have an excuse to buy a single shot for it.

They're a little difficult to find, at least for me. I assume the cases have thin walls because they don't last long and I load mildly with them. I need to just invest in .32-20s. about the same thing and easier to get reloading supplies.

Yes! We're all looking forward to Your 99x414 Supermag project!!
Always looking for correct headstamp 219 Zipper, if you are really divesting of any of your precious treasures.

219 zipper i dont have!!!! i do have one box of loaded ammo in my collection.

On the off chance you haven't had any bites on the brass, Simpson's in Galesburg, IL has a Model 1910 in .401 for sale. You wouldn't be the first to buy the gun for the ammo!

Dave, I all ready have a rifle !!! just have more brass then i'll ever use.

Sold a few boxes of factory stuff awhile back, no longer had the rifle. Very hard to find!
