As indicated;WTB an 1886 in 33WCF preferably with half mag SGB, and good bore...and even better price.
I have ammunition and dies, along with bullets by Hornady and Hawk.
(Brass is slightly easier to form with 40-65 WCF Starline or other 45-70 brass.)

Even a worn version might be acceptable. Check your rifle racks. Might even consider an under-appreciated Marlin in this caliber. Ben Lilly carried an 1886 in both Mexico and AZ=NM successfully while hound hunting for grizzlies.
