Why would anyone use Krag brass to form Lee Navy cases?  The easy way is to get 220 Swift, turn off the rim and FL size.  Then seat the bullets out, because the necks are short. I did that with a sporter and it worked fine. The other way, with a really strong press, is to trim .30-06 brass back a bit and FL, probably with a forming die.  Takes lots of muscle, but produces safe, workable brass.

Very good question.  I saw where some company had commission a run of krag brass reformed into Lee Navy ammo.  I don't recall the name of the company.  I passed on it knowing what I know about the two incidences.  However somebody new to the rifle could buy it and possibly land themselves in a bad place.

The ammo I bought years ago from Bufflao Arms was made from .25-06 brass.  The earlier of the two batches had mostly neck spilts in it and that was shortly after I had purchased it.
