    Current source of .50-70 Govt. Brass? Help!

    It appears that it's almost impossible to source this classic cartridge case. I'm in a desperate mode. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance!

    Looks like you can order it from Starline still.

    Out of stock and no back order.

    I was considering getting some new brass also, currently have enough, but before the 2024 "gotta buy everything before the election" gets really going I figured I stock up. I've got some that approaching last loading.

    Thanks for this. I think I still have some .50 AK I made years ago from .348 W brass. If I can find it, and rim size is OK, I will give it a try. I just bought a little .50-70 RB carbine made by Ed Webber and hope to get it into action.
