Brass availabilty

[Bat 2919]

A discussion about 32-20 brass availability took root on another thread that prompted me to go to the Starline brass site.  The last time I ordered 32-20 from them I sat on a back order list for 3 or 4 months but my 1000 32-20’s arrived in their own time.  No, I didn’t find any 32-20 but I was amazed at the number of cowboy/wild bunch calibers I did find available.  Some of them are a bit esoteric but then again I can’t recall the last time I saw 45 Long Colt available for order anywhere.

Available right now:

38 Long Colt
38 S & W
38-40
41 Long Colt
44 Russian
45 ACP
45 Long Colt
45 Schofield
45-90
45-110

Thanks, I ordered 1000 45/70 brass and some more .38 Special.  I don't even OWN a 45/70 anymore, but I think I'll do some basic research on the Shiloh forum and get whatever the most typical buffalo rifle would be decoration wise, and make sure it's under the weight for NRA Black Powder Silhouette.

Ahh, I ain't been that stupid since I learned to shoot trap with a 12 gauge riot shotgun.  All six of us went through a case of twelve gauge.  A couple of guys went through say 15 boxes each.  One of the guys' shoulders was BLEEDING when we got done.  There was about 2-3 inches of empty's in the back of a guy's pickup because he reloaded. 

I'm kind of hoping that 1K is a lifetime supply of brass.

Merry Xmas everybody.
