I look things up by UPC, I don't just type in ".45-70 brass" because then I don't get a list of sellers and their price and availability.Because you don't know how to search online.
This one took me less time to find than it did to type this:
Starline 45-70 Government Brass Bag of 50
All Starline is bulk packed; for example, if you order 10 bags of 50 it will be packed as a single bag of 500 pieces.www.powdervalley.com

Good luck brother. My mom's going through something similar, though minus the shooting part. My dad and I tried to get her on the range. Sigh.I am suffering from macular degeneration in my right - dominant eye and have to switch to my left eye for shooting. My hope and goal is to get back to where I was before switching.
Pass Rifleman certification at an Appleseed event. 40 shots on 10 targets in 4 minutes.I think last year mine was to finally test .30 Carbine bullets in .327, which I did accomplish. Easy enough as all I needed were a die and bullets.
Next year my goals would be to buy the two top break revolvers I've been wanting for years. Want to see how much velocity changes when using .32 S&W in a chamber for .32 S&W and .32 S&W Long as my suspicion is the shorter .32 will have higher velocity in its native chamber, but the only revolvers available to test that in are top breaks.
Thankfully those 5 shot top breaks are easy to find. The ones that aren't are the 6 shot top breaks with long barrels. No hope I'll find a suitable one, they always seem to be broken on gunbroker.
Other goal is with primers not being as hard to get I'm going to get the 45-70 adapter for the shotgun and get the components to reload it. Biggest problem there is getting the brass.
I would say get into reloading for .410, but the two guns I want in .410 are either not available or so new that I want to wait another 6 months to see what owners are saying. Reloading .410 can wait until 2025.
What are your goals for next year?
Maybe SBR an 80% AK project?
No clue for a reciever. I just thought it would be a cool project as I have done an AK before and I'd like a SBR AK. I'd probably spend the money for a parts kit with pre headspaced barrel and trunnion assembly since I'll need a US made barrel anyway for 922r compliance.Any recommendations for an 80% kit?
BFR.Sell some guns I'm not shooting and maybe get something in .45-70 or one of the hand cannon big bore revolvers.
Take a long distance shooting class at Ridgeline and/or try 22 NRL / PRS.

Build your own with quality parts.I was thinking about a AR-10 , but I'm also thinking that a bolt action in the same caliber would probably be a more sensible option. Seems most AR -10 reviews and videos I've watched show that they don't run well , so I'm guessing pay for the 4200 Sig version ,or buy a bolt action. I don't have any reason for "needing" this rifle ,it's more just a want.
