Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted October 10, 2024 Posted October 10, 2024 Just checked Starlines website, and our common dash calibers: 32-20, 38-40, 44-40, plus 50 Alaskan (used to make other calibers) are all on back-order status, meaning they are taking orders. I think they must be caught up with all the 9mm and .223 that was probably taking most of their resources during and after the pandemic, as these dash calibers have been available for ordering more often lately. Also, 45 Cowboy Special is available for immediate shipping. 3 Quote

Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted November 13, 2024 Author Posted November 13, 2024 I just checked Starline's website and everything stated in the first post above still holds true, and still no 2.125" 38-55. If you even THINK you might need some of this brass at some point, order it now. 2 Quote
TN Mongo, SASS #61450 Posted November 13, 2024 Posted November 13, 2024 Abilene, Can the 50 Alaskan be used to make a 50-70 without trimming the case rim? My brother recently acquired a 50-70 trapdoor and is dying to make some rounds for it. Quote
