It seems Norma is the sole source for loaded ammo but is a bit pricey. Can the case be formed from another case? Is there another source for loaded ammo. Any help will be appreciated. RKBA

Cheers!

All of my brass for my T38 Arisakas are reformed cases and I've been shooting this sweet little cartridge for several years. Bruce
