Hmmm, can't honestly say I had thought of that, but may come to that, LOL.
Found some Starline 45/70 brass on Huntington Die Specialities website. Called them, they are out of stock. Talked to a very nice lady there, she said she would call if they got any in. Holding my breath & turning purple as I type, LOL.
I rarely ever buy a rifle, but when I do, it's a Henry.

Got 100 pcs 45/70 Starline brass trimmed. deburred & wet tumbled today. Ready for primers.
Been taking it a bit easy today. Had an accident Mon. evening while watering some flowers. Tripped over some concrete edging & fell backwards. Tore my left shoe off, dug a chink of hide off the top of my left instep, landed on my butt, bruised my left hip. Of course, first thing I did was look to see if anyone had their camera catching it. They didn't, LOL. Hip has been rather sore, but this AM about 6:30, pain in my left foot where that hide was torn, decided to make an appearance. It was rough, teeth gritting rough. Finally got
up, washed it down with Hydrogen Peroxcide, put some Polysporin on it & a large Bandaid. Pain still hitting every few minutes. Finally took a pain pill & it calmed down.....so far. I think I'm getting too old to water flowers. ( feel free to laugh if you must ).

Glad it wasn't any worse Grunt.
Haven't done anything at mine in a while, well except eat a meal or two there.

Luckily, there wasn't anything back there except hard ground & grass.
When I get thru with this batch of 45/70, my bench is going to be quiet for quite a while, unless some more brass shows up, which
ain't likely. I've got feelers out from coast to coast; nothing in sight.

I've got plenty of stuff that could be loaded, but
haven't been shooting that much so I don't see any need in it.
Besides if something were to happen to me, :o it would be a lot easier for the misses to sell the supplies vs the loaded ammo. ;)

I'm not reloading anything but my son, the general, is loading up the .308 brass he shot yesterday.
