Dangerous Dave, at Old Western Scrounger, sells CBC new brass for less than a buck each. They are Berdan primed, and the primers are about $3.00 per hundred.
<br>I use the 24 ga. for forming to .577-450 Martini - Henry. It is good stuff, but in that application a tougher primer is indicated.
<br>Sometimes lots of surplus militaty brass loads and fired cases show up at gun shows, and they use large rifle primers.
<br>The boys at the cowboy action sites use brass routinely, largely for cosmetic purposes, but also because the practice requires no expensive loading tools.
<br>Cheers from Darkest California,
<br>Ross
