As another shooter posted today (4/15/14) on the Shiloh-Sharps board:

�I just got off the phone with a lady at Starline and she said they were going to do a production run of 45-70 brass at the end of this week. For those of you who need some, you might call and get your order in and receive some of this run.�

I put my order in for the 45-70 brass a month ago.
I had issues with .45-70 Starline brass a few years ago when reloading for my Marlin 1895. Rim thickness was all over the place and I had to file some of the brass to get the bolt to close.
I got to thinking about other specs being out, so I crushed it and tossed it.

Thankfully, I only had twenty pieces, so it was no great loss.

Than said, I have never had issue with their .32-20, .357, or .45Colt brass, so I don't know if it's a rifle brass thing, or I just got a few bad pieces.

They'd best be running it soon - Midway says they are overdue smile

I've used it (the nickel plated variety) in my #1 with heavy smokeless loads, and it worked fine. Ditto the .45-90

The Lady at Starline told me today they would be running it this Friday April 18
