Gents,
Many people are selling .45 Basic brass. Is there such a thing (and who manufactures it) as a .40 Basic (for .40-70 purposes)? How close can I get? I'm thinking, I may just have to buy, already formed .40-70SS cases. Thanks, Ed
.40 Basic?

Bucksnort, I'm a little confused why you are obsessing over this 40-70SS brass thing. I have a 40-70 on order and when I get ready to load some shells I'm going to call Buffalo Arms and order a couple of hundred of their stretched Krag brass and I'll be ready to shoot. I shot some of this a couple of weeks ago out of Leadpots gun and it works fine (thanks Kurt, had a great time). I'm thinking your going to invest a lot of money trying to get where a simple call to Buffalo Arms will get you. The only disadvantage to this is the headstamp is wrong, but all the brass I shoot out of my 110's is also wrong so I don't consider it a big deal personally.
