30-40 Krag ammunition is expensive. And for reloaders, brass has been increasingly difficult to find. An easy solution is to convert 303 British brass to 30-40. Dimensionally they're nearly identical except that they're about 0.100" or 2.5mm shorter. This isn't typically an issue as the 30-40 case has a very long neck. Some attention is needed to the bullet choice and the seating depth to mimic 30-40 Krag.
