Where Can I find Reasonable 45/70 Brass?

riverwalker76 · February 13, 2010, 07:17 PM

I've looked everywhere than I can think of, and I can't find any reasonable 45/70 Brass. I've tried Midway, Midsouth, Natchez, and Cabelas. All of them have overpriced Winchester and Remington Brass.

Anyone know where to get some once fired?

Sorry. Not gonna find it. Sometimes bulk Starline and RP are reasonable but you might as well realize that most .45-70 shooters are reloaders or know someone who wants it so you're not gonna get their brass. Only consolation is that with mild loads quality .45-70 brass outlasts almost any bottleneck rifle case. Gotta consider it an investment in a lasting product, not a component that needs constant replenishment.

Afternoon Riverwalker76,

Was just looking at 45/70 brass yesterday, and noted that the brass from Natchez was a fair amount less in cost then the brass from Cabela's.

I was just checking catalog prices, so don't know about availability.

Hope to have a 45/70 in the near future, so will be dealing with the same issue.

Bullets, well, will probably make my own.

Keep em coming!

Given that my original 200 pieces of Rem NP 45-70 brass has gone over 2k rounds (and I'm down to 160pcs), I'd say you should get in line and pay the price. My brass would last longer if I weren't crimping so hard with a Lee FCD.
