Christmas in March, the brass ordered in December has arrived!

Seems like they're pretty hit or miss....more hurry up and wait.

Out of curiosity, has anyone seen any brass from the December order window? Been touching base with Starline and have gotten the stock response: "Unfortunately, since we do make over 100 calibers and can only work on about 5-6 at a time, it is impossible to estimate a time frame. When we are closer to completing another run, we will reach out to you, first by email and then can follow up with a phone call, to update the payment information and proceed with filling the order."
About to be in a saddle for a week, so hoping that is not the time they decide to reach out by email.....

Want to give a thanks to Major Art Tillery,
He was kind enough to shoot a text to let me know they were taking back orders yesterday. I've been trying to get a hold of some brass for the last year and a half. I had managed to scrounge up some brass, thanks in part to some good folks on the wire, but some was very well loved range brass that left two broken case necks in the chamber. Since I hadn't anticipated the problem, I hadn't separated the bit of new brass from the rest of it. I'd pretty much resolved to only shooting the 44-40 out of the pistols until I could source some clean brass. Thanks to the heads up I was finally able to put in a back order, so wanted to express my thanks here for a great pard'.

p.s. I'll be shooting the 44-40 at the Classic Cowboy Showdown next April, so wanted to throw in another recommendation for the classics to make it out to enjoy the hospitality of Major's club.

Thanks, I've heard folks using the 35 grains before, plus I'll get half again as many rounds out of the pound. Time to make some up.

Thanks for posting the substitution chart, it may explain why I wasn't able to see my target much at CAC... I had settled on a load of 54 grains of APP 3F in the brass 12 ga shells....looks like that works out to 70 grains of black... might trying dialing back a bit...more experimentation ahead.

Major, planning on making it, and I'd like to sponsor the BP buckle when you get to ordering them up to make sure we have that sub category again!
