very thin light brass
By Bradley M.

As others have commented. Lighter and thinner than other 45-70 brass. Has to be annealed to work properly. Just extra work, and cannot be mixed in with other brass. I have 3 other sources of brass that all weight within 4 grains of each other, The PPU brass is about 35 to 45 grains lighter and as mentioned, hard as a rock. For me work best with cast bullets. If using jacked bullets, I stick with Starline or S&B brass. Can be annealed by standing them in a pan of water, and hitting with a torch.

About all that's available. Shot and loaded as expected.
Will Not Buy Again

I bought this brass as it was the only brass I could find for a BFR Revolver in 45/70. I am very unhappy with it I am having the same issue as one of the other reviewers. It seems to spring back after you size it and several of them I had to resize 5 times to get the bullet from dropping into the powder charge. The other problem i am having is crimping it and I am using a Collet style crimp die which normally puts a very solid crimp on the case and the bullet will not move after crimping but I am having bullet pull which I think this is due to the thin nature of the brass. What I am doing now to solve this is after I crimp it I push the cartridge against the edge of my reloading bench and if it moves at all in the case I re-crimp it again and that has been working so far. Will definitely not buy this PPU brass again and would not recommend it either.

45-70 brass

this brass appears to be thinner and much harder than other brands of brass i have, Its weight is about 30% less per cartridge. Out of the first 30 i loaded- 8 had to be sized 2 times to get their necks to hold the bullets. The had 2 cases that crumpled when seating the bullets. Cases had been belled properly. This brass will not be used by me- it was a waste of my money. I do not feel safe shooting it, even in a low pressure gun like the 45--70
Great looking brass

Have reloaded these 10 times so far

I bought these to try my hand with reloading 45-70. I found myself trying all kinds of bullet styles and weights. I have loaded these 10 times in the last few weeks shooting alot with my Marlin 1895 and also my trapdoor. I shot some high pressure charges and many more low velocity. The brass was only trimmed once. They dont grow. they are quality made. I screwed up loading a couple and bent them.. full length resize fixed it right up. no signs of them going bad on me. I will probably wear out the primer pocket!
