Hornady 45-70 Government Brass – 50ct

Hornady 45-70 Government Brass – 50ct offers reloaders a factory-new, precision-crafted case designed to handle the demanding pressures and performance expectations of this historic big-bore cartridge. Manufactured from virgin brass, each case is formed, annealed, and inspected under Hornady’s rigorous quality control standards. The result is a durable, consistent reloading component capable of supporting both traditional and modern load configurations for the versatile .45-70 Government.

These cases are boxer-primed and fully reloadable, with uniform primer pockets and flash holes to promote consistent ignition. Hornady applies controlled annealing to the neck and shoulder regions to enhance case longevity and bullet seating uniformity. The carefully maintained case wall thickness ensures reliable chamber fit, even under higher-pressure modern loadings used in lever-action and single-shot rifle platforms.

These cases are compatible with both classic rifles and modern firearms engineered to handle stout handloads.

Packaged in a 50-count bag, Hornady 45-70 Government Brass ensures reloaders have access to a consistent, high-quality lot for batch processing and repeatable load development. The brass arrives clean and ready for sizing and priming, allowing handloaders to move efficiently through the setup process and into production.
