Hornady Brass 45-70 Government Reloading Cases - Box of 50

Hornady Brass 45-70 Government reloading cases give you the foundation for accurate, reliable ammunition tailored to your rifle and shooting needs. Reloaders serious about consistency and precision choose Hornady cases because of the meticulous quality control baked into every batch. These 45-70 Government cases are produced in smaller lots and subjected to strict inspection—each one measured for uniformity in wall thickness, weight, and internal capacity so your loads perform the same shot to shot.

What sets Hornady brass apart is the attention to the details that matter. Cases are checked for concentricity (how straight and centered the walls are) and run through pressure calibration testing to ensure they expand uniformly when fired. This consistency translates directly to tighter groups and more predictable velocities downrange. When you're working up loads for your 45-70—whether for hunting big game, precision rifle competition, or long-range target work—uniform cases eliminate one source of variation and let you dial in the real variables: powder charge, primer, and bullet seating.

This box contains 50 cases, giving you a practical quantity to work with while you're developing loads or building up a supply. Quality brass is an investment in your reloading efficiency; Hornady cases are built to be reloaded multiple times, making them a sensible choice for shooters who reload seriously. Whether you're a meticulous handloader or ramping up production for a hunting season, starting with this level of case uniformity puts you ahead.

Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these cases reloadable?

Yes. Hornady brass is designed to be reloaded multiple times, making it a practical choice for handloaders who shoot regularly and want to maximize the value of their components.

What quality control does Hornady perform on these cases?

Hornady measures cases for consistent wall thickness, weight, and internal capacity. Cases are also checked for concentricity and run through pressure calibration testing to ensure uniform expansion during firing.

Will these cases work in my 45-70 rifle?

These are 45-70 Government brass cases and are designed for rifles chambered in 45-70 Government. Always verify your rifle's chamber specification before loading, and consult published load data for your specific rifle and components.

Why does case uniformity matter for reloading?

Uniform cases—consistent in wall thickness, weight, and capacity—help produce loads with predictable velocities and pressures. This translates to tighter groups and more reliable performance downrange, whether hunting or shooting at the range.
