Nos Bulk Brass Bag 45-70 Govt 50/1
Nosler bulk brass for 45-70 Government offers serious hand loaders the foundation they need to develop and reload consistent, high-quality ammunition without paying a premium for case prep work you'll do yourself. This is unprepped brass in 50-count bags, designed for shooters who know their own sorting and finishing standards and want to cut costs while maintaining Nosler's material quality and manufacturing tolerances. If you're loading 45-70 for a Sharps, Winchester, or modern levergun, and you're comfortable with primer pocket uniformity and flash hole work as part of your process, this bulk offering delivers the raw material at a practical price point.
Nosler has built a reputation for consistency across their entire brass line, and the material and tolerances in this bulk product reflect that same commitment. New brass means you're starting with virgin cases, which simplifies your first reload cycle and gives you predictable case life across multiple reloads. The 50-count bag size makes it easy to stock up for a season of load development or to keep your press fed without committing to enormous quantities.
Hand loaders who take pride in their brass prep—sorting by weight if they choose, uniforming primer pockets, chamfering and deburring flash holes to their own standards—will appreciate bulk brass that doesn't charge them for work they're already planning to do. This is the smart choice if you're methodical about case prep and want ammunition tailored to your rifle and your loading practices.

Frequently Asked Questions
What prep work do I need to do on bulk brass before loading?
This brass comes unprepped, so you'll need to handle primer pocket uniformity, flash hole deburring, and case mouth chamfering yourself. If you prefer brass that arrives ready to load, Nosler offers prepped alternatives. Bulk brass is designed for reloaders who already have the tools and process in place.
Is this brass suitable for 45-70 Government in modern rifles?
Yes. This brass is sized for 45-70 Government with large rifle primer pockets and will work in any rifle chambered for that cartridge, whether a classic Sharps, Winchester, or modern levergun or single-shot.
Will I get the same case life and reloadability from bulk brass as from prepped Nosler brass?
Bulk brass is manufactured to the same quality standards and tolerances as Nosler's prepped offerings, so yes—case life and reloadability are the same once you've completed your own case prep. The difference is labor, not material.
What's included in the 50-count bag?
You receive 50 new, unprepped 45-70 Government cases with large rifle primer pockets. Nothing else is included; this is brass only.
