The 45-70 Government cartridge has remained a favorite among big-game hunters and lever-action enthusiasts thanks to its powerful performance and long legacy. Starline’s commitment to quality means this brass is capable of handling elevated pressures suitable for Magnum Heavy Hunting Loads—when used in appropriately rated firearms. Each case is vertically drawn, a process that helps minimize wall thickness variation and enhances case durability through multiple reloads.

This brass is also well suited for black powder shooting. For those loading with black powder or reduced-pressure rounds, annealing the case mouth is recommended to promote proper chamber sealing. Starline cases are intentionally left stiffer from the factory, allowing reloaders the flexibility to fine-tune brass hardness through annealing to match specific load requirements. A detailed guide on the annealing process is available in Starline’s FAQ section, section #4.

Whether you’re hunting elk, hogs, or simply enjoying the nostalgia of a historic cartridge, Starline 45-70 Govt bulk brass delivers the strength, consistency, and accuracy reloaders expect. Trusted by shooters across disciplines, Starline continues to be the gold standard in American-made reloading brass.
