Separating fired brass for 2 different 45-70s

[Don McDowell]

Probably the best bet meatball. You'll likely find that shiloh does it's best work with grease groove bullets that are slip fit in fired cases.

Why not Nickle cases for one and stansa4d brass for the other?

[Don McDowell]

That's what I do between the 2 miroku built high walls, rp nickel in the Browning, rp brass in the Winchester.

Then there’s people like me the only time I shoot on a public range is when traveling to a match and it’s a pretty sure bet there wont be any usable brass left laying around

What's a sizing die??
Every rifle has designated brass, it's easy to notch the rim. Hand seat the bullets in fired cases. Only shoot BP.

Remington cases in one, Winchester in another, Federal in another, Starline in another

I mark my brass using a center drill in a drill press with different combinations of marks. You can use a 5c collet holder or drill a 1/2 inch hole in a 2x4 with the 2" edge up. That is for 45-70. Drill a 29/64" hole for 38-50, 27/64 for 38-55 and 9/16 for most of the 50s. You don't have to clamp the case just index it with the rim with your finger.

I've been following this thread and don't remember anyone saying this. To me the simplest solution is to use one brand of brass for one rifle and a different brand for the other rifle. I know brass is hard to come by these days but diligent searching would probably turn up some Federal, Remington, Winchester or Hornady brass to go with a stash of Star Line already on hand. (switch the brands around as needed - lol)

Just sayin',

Brass black on the head and rim or mouth .

I worked a job once that used straight chlorine bleach as a disinfectant , I spilled some on a sterling silver ring it was instantly black , the gold inset not so much . Until this moment I hadn't given any thought to how brass might respond to such an oxidizer . I would decap after the exposure and quickly if possible . Maybe I'll go check it out .
