    Where can I get .50-70 & .45-70 Brass?

    You might try Dixie Gun Works. I bought some 50-70 brass from them ages ago. Might surprise you.

    Track of the Wolf sells brass as well. Looks like they are out of stock.

    FWIW, my whole supply of 45-70 brass is from factory ammo I picked up a little bit at a time. I don't know what volume you're looking for, though.

    I've kept an eye out for new factory brass for a long time, but never found good prices. Starline seems to have been out of stock for years.

    I got 250 50-70s direct from Starline a couple of months ago. It comes and goes. Keep checking their website.

    Star-line lists 50-70 as on back order. The last back order I ordered from them was 45 colt and shipped in less than a week.
    Good luck with the search.
