Title: Re: Choosing brass for the .30-40 Krag

I've reloaded both and mainly use Remington, again due to availability. I do recommend neck sizing only since full length sizing is somewhat needless in a bolt gun. I neck size and trim every loading and have noticed no discernible difference between the cases. I load 150gr jacketed spitzer bullets over a mild 3031 powder charge since all I do is punch holes in paper.
Have reloaded some 5 times and have discarded only a few of either type in the 30+ years of doing it. Hotter loads will certainly change the dynamics of case and chamber wear.
