.45-70 Government reloading

[NikatKimber]

So since I bought an 1895G, and checked ammo prices ($$$ ); I will be getting into reloading for it.

Where do you find brass? So far the best I’ve found is new starline for roughly $.50/rd.

I’m planning on getting some 300gr coated bullets to start with. Just for cheap-ish range time.

That's probably the cheapest you will find.

Agreed that's about as cheap as you'll find it now. I've got a ton still that I've had for years. Straight walled, "low" pressure round and the brass lasts forever. When Remington stopped making bulk 405gr SP bullets, that was a huge kick in the pants to 4570 shooters. They were great and cheap.

Ben has some for 50 cents. I bet he'd make ya a deal. I've done business with him a few times. Nice fella.

If you decide to deal with Ben (don't know him) and can get a better deal on all he has I probably would take half or so if you didn't want all of it

I’m thinking about 100 to get started. Grafs has it in stock for $50 for new Starline brass. I don’t get paying $.40-.50 per for used.
