Tully Mars Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Congratulations on the new rifle! 50-70 has been hard to come by lately, Starline has it in stock. I bought my cases from a pard on the wire that split up an order from Starline. Something to consider. Tully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORNERY OAF Posted October 4, 2022 Author Share Posted October 4, 2022 Thanks Tully, but starline is back ordered as usual. Been checking there since I spotted the gun in the classifieds... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grass Range Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 I needed 50-70. I had to buy 300 cases as a minimum order so sold some on this site. Lots of venders listed them but all said "out of stock". Scam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORNERY OAF Posted October 4, 2022 Author Share Posted October 4, 2022 Ya, I'm having the same issue. I can find 50-90, wondering if I can cut them down to 50-70 size???? Is that a possibility? Anyone done it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been checking there since I spotted the gun in the classifieds... Guess I didn't scroll down the page. Recently I ordered backordered 44-40 from Starline, they came within a week. However, I've heard stories of long waits as well. I wish you well in your search for the brass. Tully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Morningwood Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Here is a new, untried. 50 Alaskan case in a .50-70. Trim to correct length and fireform. Seems a good candidate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found out the chamber was 50-70 Cadet length so I rented a chamber and now it is 50-70 Government length. I was not told it was the Cadet chamber.

Wallaby Damned Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 @ORNERY OAFMidway has some 50AK brass at $1.65/ea but you’ve got to buy 100. As @Dusty Morningwoodnoted above, ideal candidate. It’s what I use in my 50-95 as well since proper headstamp brass is easily 2X more costly. Rifle doesn’t notice the difference that I can tell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORNERY OAF Posted October 11, 2022 Author Share Posted October 11, 2022 I just bought 59 cases from a pard here, so that puts me at about 80 brass..I will see how they hold up, but if I need more I think the 50 Alaskan is probably the way to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORNERY OAF Posted October 11, 2022 Author Share Posted October 11, 2022 Ya I will, gonna treat em just like my 45-90 shiloh and might even use some Swiss 1.5 depending on how it shoots. Gotta cast up and lube some bullets this week and drop tube some 2F...set the depth by the lands and grooves and see how she handles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sedalia Dave Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Starline is accepting back orders. If you still need the brass put in an order. They'll only make a batch if there is enough demand. Put mine in last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hipshot SASS#7 Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Hey Ornery Oaf: I have quite a bit of 50-70 brass if you are still interested. One box virgin Dixie Gun Works head stamp (20 rounds)., and about 75 rounds loaded with the holy black that I can pull apart. You might also be interested in the canvas ammo belt I have marked CO "C" 2nd GA. INF. it has 56 loops (may have been for 45-70, but the 50-70 fit). PM Me if interested an we'll see what we can work out. Hipshot SASS#7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
