50-70 brass making?

[Sniper338]

I have a boss that really wants to get a 50-70 rifle made up and has been asking me about making the brass and reloading it with him...

Supposely it can be made from 358 win brass?

Anyone got the info and steps to doing this?

I dont know enough about these old cartridges...

50-70 brass available at most venders, even Midway has it.

50-70 Gov't was a standard round back in the day along with the 50-90, 50-100 and the 50-110 Express. Do like chardog sez and buy the brass. Buying is much easier than making.

Is this a typo?

Maybe he meant 348 Winchester

They use to use 348 Win brass to make the 50-110 & other cartridges.

Buying 348 Win. brass may be more expensive than buying the 50-70 brass. Probably won't be worth forming it.
