I hear Starline is making .348 Win. brass, which is better, Winchester or Starline? Is any one making 35-348 Ackley Improved brass?

Any one have any idea how much velocity I would loose if I turned my Mirkoru Win. Mod. 71 into a 35-348 Improved and cut the barrel from 24" to 22" ? My goal is 250 grain Kodiak Bonded bullets and H4350 at over 2,500 fps. Maybe I am being optimistic on velocity. I know, blow a case out to get more velocity and then cut the barrel back to get less velocity, don't say it.

I would also like to find a magazine extension if any one knows where that can be found. Darn rifle only holds 4 in the magazine and my Marlin 45-70 and Big Bore .356 Win. each hold 7 in the magazine. Having the extra ammo in the magazine is the perfect place to store ammo!

Check Buffalo Arms for brass. You have a fine gun in the Model 71. Keep it as it is now. By the time you go through the ammo in the tube as it sets now, I doubt that 3 more will be of any value.

Still popular in Alaska, so you'd think brass would still be available.

I have some of the Win brass on 10 loading's so far out of mine so it's been pretty good.

I got quite a bit of brass when I got the rifle. I just like Starline, also and was wondering if I should consider it when ordering more. Although I went to Noma for my rifle brass a few years ago, Winchester was my go to brass for many years.
