Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 So... where's all the .45 Colt brass gone?? Set out to order some from Midway this mornin', and nothin' left but blanks! Did get an order in with Graf, who were down to 500 pieces of Remington stuff. Starline hasn't been available for quite some time. I last looked for it several weeks ago, and at that time Midway had an "expected" availability date of some time in late March, but it ain't happened. A right sad state of affairs...

Wolfgang, SASS #53480 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I bought lifetime suppies of .44-40 .45 Colt & .45-70 as well as 5 in 1 back when they were available and the prices were Ok . . just seemed Ok back then . . . seem cheap now looking back a while Why didn't you all thunk to do the same ? Anthing with copper in it is EXPENSIVE. Lost the water pump on my truck going up a grade last month, . . . pump guarenteed by Auto Zone so the pump cost nothing. . . . had to make the top of the grade with the pump wildly whuriling around . . . fan tore up the back of the radiator, . . Re-core the radiator ? $ 510.00 The core alone was $ 285 due to the cost of copper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. James H. Callahan Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Try here. http://www.sinclairintl.com/.aspx/cid=5801/k=/t=S/mfg=/Cartridge_1062=45+Colt/Products/Pistol-Brass This outfit used to make Top Brass. I bought quite a bit of it a few years ago, no problem except for one .45 LC case that had no flash hole, broke my decapper. Guess they don't make their own anymore, but looks like they have it in stock. JHC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Bob #35998 Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 U. B. It was .45 Colt. I can't believe folks would discard that but it takes all kinds I reckon. I guess the economic downturn hasn't impacted everybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stubborn Dutchman, SASS # 61363 Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 I pick up once fired brass all the time at the range. Last week I found a full box of Remingon 38 special brass, neatly placed back into the tray, then into the box, and dropped in the trash. About all I don't find are 45 colt, 44-40, 38-40 or the BP cartridge calibers. Some days it's down right profetable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocWard Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Was at a gun store picking up .45 Colt rounds today, planning for tomorrow. Looked over at reloading equipment because everyone keeps telling me I should start. Saw bags of Winchester .45 Colt brass there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chickasaw Bill SASS #70001 Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Doc In this game it is not if ya reload , its when ya start reloading . CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocWard Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 Oh, it is definitely "when", not "if." I've already mentioned it to Mrs. Doc and she seemed OK with it. Guess it helps that her dad reloaded shotgun shells for trap for years without blowing anything up. I just got the Lee reloading catalog. Really liking the thought of a turret press. Just a matter of finding the space, really. Garage and basement are both pretty much close to capacity. I keep talking about a shed or out building for some of our stuff, so that may need to happen first. That and pick up a couple of manuals to read. Thinking about the Lee and Lyman's. I also have had a pard offer to give me some pointers, and think that is probably a very good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocWard Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Did ya buy a supply while you had the chance ? After buying what I needed, I was short on funds. In retrospect, I probably should have pulled out a credit card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 Wal... Hal and Doc, I reckon y'all had danged good timing! I've peeked at Midway for a while, and even signed in for email notification when Starline would be available - never a notice. Shoulda back-ordered it!

Texas Lizard Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I guess I should count myself lucky...Back when you but it on Ebay, I picked up much...Like a bunch, it was even cheap then...I was not thinking then of 44-40...I don't have as much of that...Now I'm looking for 45-90, just a little harder to find...
