Long Fingers, SASS#56813 Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Looking for some 45 special, would like 100 or more pieces if someone has a little to spare. Really just need enough to get a shooter through a 5-6 stage monthly. Thanks, LF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Burn Powder Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 I have had mine on order at Starline for over 3 months still waiting. Had to use case trimmer and make 100 out of 45’s for now. Scarce as primers it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokedawg SASS#60968 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 I've got about 60 pieces of .45 Schofield brass if that works. PM me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the Schofield brass! What happens to all the 45 blank brass the mounted shooters shoot? Can it be cut down for cowboy special? JFN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Boddems Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 The flash hole is or used to be drilled out on the blanks used in mounted shooting. The reason was to keep pressure from backing out the primer and locking up the gun. I don’t think I would use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fort Reno Kid Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Howdy Pard I’ll second the previous Pard’s suggestion: cut down existing 45 Colt or 45 Schofield to 45 Cowboy length. Suggestion. It can be done with a hand trimmer but it’s s-l-o-w. Find a buddy or gunsmith with a lathe and in a short time you’ll have correct-length Cowboy brass. A buddy is a gunsmith with a lathe. I’d saved 45 brass with small rim splits. Took those plus some old, nondescript 45’s to him and in approx half a hour I had a good supply of Cowboy brass. Side note: the same goes for shortening 44 mag/44 special to 44 Russian. In the best of all worlds — remember those not-so-long-ago days post-Obama and pre-chicom virus? — Starline will be up and running and all sorts of brass will be abundant and readily available. Keep posting in SASS Wire and you may get lucky. In the meantime you may wish to consider alternatives. Good Shooting, Happy Trails, and Adios Fort Reno Kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snakebite Dust SASS 75484 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 You could buy one of these jigs from ebay and a cheap saw from Harbor Freight and make your own with a little work. I have not interest in either as its not my listing and no idea who is selling the jigs on ebay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/304033124554?_trkparms=ispr%3D1&hash=item46c9c950ca:g:41AAAOSwi8ZgyAwJ&amdata=enc%3AAQAGAAACoPYe5NmHp%2B2JMhMi7yxGiTJkPrKr5t53CooMSQt2orsSzaVbXtmGxqmWnpn8RLN2q9lWa62BZg1KIN9O2XE1ckWDc4RXrLRCaHMgJiKzCYGPHe1WSrfpHZoDs6Ahtsrw%2FNxfSMe7yhynx7OXddvSyEQCxqrLTgYgxvIZmMQTqs0u2sn3FQ3m5BIIhjoB9of4mL9hiR7xMvJaOOVmkztVHnXQFUSIYhTjGnjcYoGJgxokU7MuU0Mab%2Bzw2o1fQmr6tbpTMbYfSnJ3CbIUOb1w%2F%2ByWlv6rfEMM8KSXiZ6oZOvYhbeND2TXuwZCy8aDReU6uUFeQXK3994YDjrrf9xytnL3UQtR7ftB7gur4mVacXNgUkK6fQyEjGkLr03FZCFMt5JJBBOdlC3z%2B29tnAV6rh8LWO1iV8Y4hfL6WaBgpLHu8lWniRIEq9aKi%2BT5ALBcfrbxtVwc4WMvjl%2FZmMZxwYk798tB7qXQ2lWGBpcL7CB6bEtAPMRqWs2HesjOOZmr7cM4DMP2r%2Fmc1aLkhNU3MVzTq86mO7K%2BXHLE8N%2BAaHpJ5udOMQ53LmJ%2FmcY0D9MjWJqRI5GMc31L627XCZiMzyC6xUXMWCbnF%2FQguE%2BmcAfCOrguNbfCCBkHUiVsAwrDwjNZw%2FC%2BUdQVRgUkIpBFtCQJnMfTvGKtT0duVMd6Fyw5XQRRNJrJkzeNYstBU%2F3bA9IgQmAjdbSWkw3GNDc0se%2BiSY0RI31YcZdKse6DuNlDsngv%2B7ZNwTmjUqHRluc2mqgtELN%2Fp1dK2ECQGQ4UpK5TUqGpGuPftTOzmMn24kmoR42BZqqvOwpk%2BAX%2BsANLKl%2FY6%2Fti2KZRPdZ2sq44Qf2ngkl4pBD46H9NlZ3bhkBYhokS16GIN5wfpUI2%2B2CJeg%3D%3D|clp%3A2334524|tkp%3ABFBMjp6ZgZ1f Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springfield Slim SASS #24733 Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 I just cut down some 44-40 brass to make basically 44 Russian. I made my own jig for my HF chopsaw, and then trimmed with a Forster case trimmer. Did 400 or so, using a bunch of split mouth cases that I was going to scrap anyway. Free brass! Not counting time and the blister on my hand from running the hand trimmer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not counting time and the blister on my hand from running the hand trimmer. How does that work? The rim on on a 44-40 (44 WCF) is considerably larger than a 44 Russian as is the base of the case. Have you ever actually loaded one of those cut-down 44-40 cases and chambered it in a .44 Russian cylinder ? .44 Mag or .44 Spec could easily be trimmed down to .44 Russian but a 44-40 is a whole nother animal.

Springfield Slim SASS #24733 Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 I am going to shoot them in a 44-40 chamber. I was using 44 Russian brass but think this will work better as far as sealing. Although the 44 Russian brass worked fine, actually, with BP loads.

Trainwreck, SASS #104592 Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 As of this moment you can backorder 45CS at starlinebrass.com. Haven't even been able to place a backorder for a while. I placed a backorder months ago. It seemed to go nowhere and then they contacted me for payment to ship last week. If you are looking for brass they said keep your on eye the web site daily and order, or backorder as appropriate. They are filling backorders first when they get around to each caliber but it may take a while for some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slapshot Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Grafs.com has 100pc bags 45 special in stock. Buffaloarms.com has starline 45 special for sale also. Little cheaper than Starline but never heard of them or ever done business with them. They've got some good prices if they are a good sight.
