Looking for some .50-70 Sharps brass. Would also consider .50 Basic. Thanks.
 
Have you tried Dixie Gun Works?
 
Yes along with other regular sources for blackpowder cartridge brass. I haven't found any yet.
 
Have you tried Shiloh Sharps or Bertram?
 
Bertrams is about $5 each. Shiloh doesn't have any listed. I can also use .50-90 or .50 basic.
 
Starline, buffalo arms or track of the wolf? Will keep an eyeball out when I’m looking for component.
 
Is this the same as 50/70 Gov ?

I have a few 100 but can't ship them from NZ, I ended up with extra when two orders came in, it is a powerful round in a modern gun, I had a bud fit a .50 cal barrel to a Baikal for me & he had a 50/70 Gov reamer so I went that way instead of .50 Alaskan .
 
Yes I’ve checked all of those sources. None in stock. Yes this is also 50-70 Govt.
 
Just got off the phone with Starline. No 50-70, 50-90 or 50-110 available. They are accepting backorders on 50-90 and 50-110 with no projection of when those will be made. So still looking...
