Garrison Joe Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 More folks on the Cowboy wire will have that brass. But it's rather rare to find someone selling it. I used to use the Starline special production C45Spl brass. Now I just trim off old .45 Colt cases. Lasts longer. I make as many as I want. good luck, GJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mortman Posted September 7, 2021 Author Share Posted September 7, 2021 Hi Joe, do you cut them with a hacksaw?, would be a great way to make use of splits. -c. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrison Joe Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 A cheap Harbor Freight chop saw with an abrasive blade to get within about 10 thousands of the final length of 0.898" Drilled a couple of half-inch holes in a block of oak to hold the cases while chopping off. Then a Lyman case trimmer to do that last little bit of trimming to length. Can trim about 3-4 a minute that way. Then a hand reaming tool to bevel inside and outside the mouth. With a power case processing tool, those steps would be even faster. good luck, GJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Man Graybeard Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 A friend of mine uses a Forstner bit in a drill press to trim 45 colt to 45 cowboy special length Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
