The Winchester WSC3040KU delivers premium unprimed brass cases specifically manufactured for the historic 30-40 Krag cartridge. These cases provide handloaders with consistent wall thickness and proper headspace dimensions for reliable reloading results. Each case meets Winchester's stringent quality standards for dimensional accuracy and brass composition.
What Makes This Different
Winchester cases feature uniform brass thickness throughout the case body, ensuring consistent powder capacity and pressure curves. The annealing process creates optimal neck tension while maintaining case strength at the web and head areas. These cases typically deliver 8-10 reloading cycles when properly sized and maintained, significantly outperforming budget alternatives that may split after 3-4 loadings.
Key Features
- Premium brass construction with consistent wall thickness for uniform performance
- Proper headspace dimensions matching SAAMI specifications for 30-40 Krag
- Factory annealed necks provide optimal bullet seating and release
- Unprimed design allows custom primer selection for specific applications

- Compatible with standard 30-40 Krag reloading dies and equipment
These cases handle both light target loads and full-power hunting cartridges within SAAMI pressure limits. The 30-40 Krag's moderate pressure levels make these cases particularly suitable for vintage rifle restoration projects and historical shooting competitions. Proper case preparation and sizing extends case life while maintaining accuracy potential inherent in this classic military cartridge.
