I'm looking to have matching headstamp brass when I get done... I have more R-P than anything else... I can buy R-P ammo, but the HSM is quite a bit cheaper... I've bought HSM 17 Fireball ammo, & they use R-P cases there... however R-P is the only one that I know of that made 17 Fireball brass...

if HSM is using R-P cases for the 30-40 Krag, I'd buy several 100 rounds to supplement my supply of brass... if no one knows, I may have to buy one box of ammo to see...

trying to save a little money here... thanks for post your expiriences

didn't get a reply back, so I ordered 1 box of HSM... then was in Cabelas on Sunday & saw HMS headstamp brass for sale... so I may end up having to order the Remington ammo... the box of HSM should be here early this week... worst case, I'll just sell it on my next gun show table... if it's R-P brass I'll keep it & order a couple 100 more...
