Yeah, grabbed some myself. Now I've got enough for a 40-70 BN . . .

Recieved 500 pcs from Midway today :) And took the opportunity to get a 54 minnie Lyman mold for the 1863's.

A word of caution. I ordered some and received it pretty fast. However, it was shipped in a flimsy bag that burst during shipping. The bag it was shipped in was one of those bubble wrap bags. I also ordered a crimp die for another caliber. The long and short of it was I had to inspect every case for damage since the die bounced around in the bag with the brass. Had Midway shipped in a cardboard box with adequate packing material, it could've been averted.

I bought a 100 pieces of the regular brass last week, and it looks like the price already went up a little bit since then. I was planning to use this 100 pieces to resize into 40-82.

Agreed that some 50-70 would be welcome. My starline backorder is at about 15 months now. Currently have 124 pieces, which is fine for gong shooting. But I don't think I'd have enough to enter a match with the number of shots I sometimes see advertised.

I’m down to 35 ish .50/70 cases, there’s definitely a big dwmand for the .50/70’s . I imagine the shortage has a lot to do with what tooling they have up a running and can’t just pickup running the .50 caliber line overnight but they have closed down the back orders for quite a while due to high demand. I’m surprised that a company like the one making .43 Spanish for track of the wolf hasn’t made any.
