.56-50 brass check

[PvtGreg]

Nice Jan,

I would add that this is for the Original Spencer 56-50, correct?

My experiments with 32ga brass show that to use these with Armisport Spencers you you have to bring the last 1/4" to 1/3" of the rear the rim down about .02" to .05" to fit even after running the case all the way up until the rim touches the resizing die.

Thanks - PvtGreg

PvtGreg is correct, it is an original, Burnside made Spencer carbine

Back to the original post:

Any update on when Starline brass will be available? My daughter ordered 250 rds for me from Track and it is on backorder. For the past 3 months they have said expect 90 days.

According to Starline's site:

56-50 Spencer (Taylor's) Brass (Large Rifle primer) 1.151"-1.157 (Backordered expected availability: 12/09/2011 )

There are other routes - either 8mm Lebel or 32 ga Magtech Brass.
