BUY/TRADE for: 45LC Brass or W-W .45-70 Brass for reloading

[WalterJ]

Getting into Cowboy Action Shooting and need brass to reload. Do not want loaded cartridges.

I have .223, .44 Mag, .45ACP, .38 Spl brass to trade if that's more to your liking.

Pls. PM me any correspondence. Thanks for watching.

Hi there. Have you found some brass yet? I shoot .45 Colt and handload. I think all of my brass is loaded right now and I don't have very much anway, but the Cabela's in Sidney, NE has had .45 Colt pretty regularly. If you're still in need, I work in Sidney and I'd be glad to stop by and see what they have. If it's in stock there I think you can order it online. Just let me know. BTW, what do you shoot? I've got a Ruger Blackhawk .45Convertible. Blued with the 4 5/8" barrel. I load it as light as 250-grain lead bullets at 600 or so all the way up to 300-grain XTPs at 1100. I also shoot quite a bit of ACP through it and I've even loaded up some snake loads using Speer shot capsules.

Greetings CJMEYER1; sorry for delay. I'm RV'g in Central Florida and am shooting with a local SASS club each Tues. morning. We've attended 2 events & wondering if I can compete whilst down here. They're called the Wewahootee Vigilance Committee, http://www.sassnet.com/clubs/Clubs_detail.php?Weewahootee-Vigilance-Committee-407 & a great bunch of 'mates'. Based upon previous research & picking brains all over on the web, I settled on loading about 2K rnds of 180gr, 45LC ahead of 6gr of Unique. Without use of a chrono, they concur the recoil, etc feels about right for 700fps-800fps with a 180 gr pill. No option to reload in my RV at this time, so that's why I was heavily scrounging for brass to prep for my trip South. We live in S.E. Wisconsin & having a once in 50 years Winter season...just terrible, but we got outta "Dodge' as they say!

I've been able to obtain 1000+ brass for $.074 avg. The big box stores are out of the question, as they price their brass like it was in a jewelry store. Many thanks for your concern & offer to help out.

I'm shooting Ruger New Vaquero's & changed the springs to the typical 'low power' mods. I was lucky to find a 1997 vintage Marlin 1894CB in 45LC. I cleaned, ground, polished, trued, flattened & otherwise eliminated friction where ever I could. It also has the 'low power' hammer spring & I modified the lever safety button spring to lighten it as well. This little button was so stiffly sprung I almosst had to wrap my thumb around the stock to bring the lever into full battery. I also arrived at removing 1.25 coils from the lever retaining button spring, which really helped me reduce the effort to open the lever with the back of my hand. I don't consider myself a tender soul, but it caused undue hesitation & threw off my timing.

I passed the word I'm available to go to the range for additional practice session, but no takers yet [as I'm not a member]. Well, that's about it for now. When I have a pic of myself all duded up, I'll share it, if you don't laugh! Play safe.

Best regards,

Wally
