Any luck. I am also trying to find 30-40 but in the colt Bisley round which may be quite different.

I scooped a pelithera of 30-40 brass a few years ago. It ran the gauntlet from brand new unfired to fireformed 303 br.
I have been known to help out a fellow who is in dire straits, but a story to retell first. Answered an ad on EE for 30-40 brass...thought I'd help get a Fellow shooting. He only wanted a certain brand though, he was building up his stock of brass.
So...if you are in bind I can shoot you a box. But if you are just building up a supply, then find an old guy like I did. Which may sound grumpy; but I know how frustrating it is to not have any (got a few oddballs I do) to even develope a suitable load. But if you are just fattening up the hoard... move along then.

Mangosteel........The Bullet Barn shows stock on the 38-40 brass you seek.
They are setting up shop at the Kamloops Gun Show this weekend and Lois will
bring some up as per your request. Save some freight and you git yer arse to a gun show..............

Don't want to seem snide...'cause I'm not. But I did state that I got fireformed 303 Br in my previous post.
I think the brass is weaker when you use 303 br though. Waters wrote of using 30-40 brass in a 303 to get better longevity (reload wise) out of it. It probably made sense for the time and place, as he was 'Merican and 303 br was probably scarce then and there.
I've a Ross Mk 2 with a grossly enlarged chamber that I've pondered using 30-40 brass for, but if one has both calibers...bad plan IMO
