I got confirmation of shipment and arrival of tomorrow.   With the holidays, Midway is fast!

[Froogal]

My order of 200 is confirmed. Already have a supply of home-cast bullets and a few bottles of Goex. Now all I need is a rifle.

[Mogorilla]

I hope my NCOWS friends were able to get the amount they needed, as they went quick.

Happy Holidays to all.

I had pretty much given up on the whole idea. Wasn't even looking anymore, but you renewed my interest. I've got 200 coming. I'm sure I will be wanting more, but 200 is enough to get me started. Now all I need is for Santa to bring me something to shoot them in.

Merry Christmas to everyone.

You can sign up with Starline to get notifications when the brass you are looking for is available.  I think the 44-40 has come available several times in the past year, but lasts less than a day.  By the time you see someone on a forum mention it, it is often too late.

Starline accepting backorders right now.

[Hair Trigger Jim]

They're also taking backorders on .38-40 and .32-20.

Not for 44-40 anymore. Sigh...

[Abilene]

Well, they had orders available for quite some time, so hopefully they are making a big batch and some of that is going to distributors who will have it available shortly.  I didn't order any as I had just bought some NOS winchester brass (paid more for it, too, but that's okay).

  One really nice thing about Starline 44-40 brass??  It makes really superb 45 Colt cartridges that seal rifle chambers really really well.

I've heard of a few people doing this which seems like a good way to make 45 colt more black powder friendly in a rifle. What I never have understood is if you are going to buy 44-40 brass, why not just shoot 44-40 which is even better?

[Abilene]

I think a lot of people already had a 45 Colt rifle before they decided to try black powder.  Or else they knew they wanted to shoot BP when they bought it but were unaware of the action fouling issues.

I shot a lot of 45 Colt BP in a '92 when it was my only rifle, but now that I have multiple calibers, my .45 '73 is strictly smokeless.  I shot BP in it a single time, using 45 Schofield rounds (because it is a trapper and it is easier to load them) fully loaded with a 250 gr "Desperado Bullet Co." bullets with their "BP friendly" lube.  Well, it was pretty horrible both in the bore and the action, so I'm sticking to the .38, 44-40, and 32-20 for BP.  I considered fireforming some 44-40's to .45 but not for long as there is no need.
