Irontree Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I have maybe a hundred or so once fired Hornady 45-70 cases that I'd like to trade for used but not abused modern 50-70 cases. These were factory loaded Hornady ammo given to me by a non-reloading friend. I have found that they are just slightly shorter (From the factory) than all my other 45-70 Starline. So I thought I'd offer them here in hopes of getting some more 50-70 for my trapdoors.

Irontree Posted March 23, 2021 Author Share Posted March 23, 2021 Spur that horse again..... These are unaltered Hornady 45-70 brass and the difference in length is minimal. Only enough to slightly effect a roll crimp to make it a bit lighter. Unfortunately when loading A-5744 a rather heavy and consistent crimp is pretty important. If you're shooting a lever action under 300 yards it'd be no big deal. Of course, if you are going to trim them back to make 45-60 brass or some other variant then they are spot on for a place to start. If you're without a trade of my 2 for your one in 50-70 then I'd take .50 cents a piece for them and even polish them up in a tumbler for you.
