.41 Long Colt brass

Just got a call from Buffalo Arms in Idaho. Brass I ordered a year ago is in. New Starline, good stuff. All you.41LC fans, here's your chance.

It has been available directly from starline for a while. But minimum order is 250 pcs. Deal from buffalo arms seems better. Thanks.

250 pieces isn't a lot. For odd stuff or brand new stuff buy as much as you can. I can still shoot .41 AE because I bought 500 cases away back when.

I am known to be cheap, so I am firing forming 38 spl. Save enough to cover the die set.

You got me to order 50 pieces.
I told myself I would never shoot it, or it would get loose.

Now I will need heeled bullets.

I like hollow based bullets better. Just got email from westernbullets.com. They are making another run.

I love Western bullets.
It is like dealing with a person instead of an institution.
I like the bullets too.

I loaded some heeled bullets with black just to duplicate the original. They are a PITA. The hollow base bullets actually work well. and they're easy to load.
