Where is all the brass???

Post by Stets » Sun Feb 19, 2023 3:36 pm

45 70 brass is nonexistent it seems. I don't get why such a common caliber isn't more readily available..

Don't listen to people that say you don't need more guns and ammo. No one needs that kind of negativity in their lives!!

Well, it is an antique caliber. :lol:
Think I saw some for sale over on castboolits a few days back.
Might check the Marlinowners site also, and
probably some on gunbroker. ;)

Just went and checked the one on CB are gone, and there is none on MO, but
there are several listings on GB.

Locally there hasn't been any brass for 380, 45 ACP, 45 Colt, 30-30 for more than a couple years. But there has been lots of 357 even through the recent ammo/reloading supply shortage.

When I get the next notification from Midway that Starline .45 Colt is in stock I'll drop everything and order quickly. Beggars can't be choosers but Starline is my favorite and if that's not available I'll just get by with what I've got.

The only brass that I’ve been able to find (for anything I reload for…..) lately seems to come with a primer, powder and projectile already in it. The majority of my .30-30 brass I have has come from shooting factory rounds.

Don’t know how that works out for the .45-70 tho…….

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Ain't that the truth!!! :o

While at the LGS today I noticed they had a box of LeverEvolution (325 grainers) and some Winchester 300 grainers, both in .45-70. $47 for the LeverEvolution, and $55 for the Winchester! :shock:

Holy Scuzmoley!!!! :?
