Hey.

I'm looking to reload 45-75 W.C.F for my winchester 1876 but i'm having trouble finding brass.

i know you can make your own out of 50 alaskan brass and i heard even with 348 brass.

any of you guys have tried it?

do you keep the 50 alaskan stamp on the brass or do you restamp it?

Thanks

I have 4 original 1876 Winchester rifles. 3 of them are .45-75. I reload for them all
with .348 brass ( reformed) , with no issues . For 15 + years .
I cast a RCBS # 45-300 - FN Gas Check bullet from wheel weights.
I use 22 grains of 2400 powder going approx. 1300 f/s .
Hope this helps you ?

yes thank you. How many times do you reload your casing?
 
You should get an almost limitless reloads out of your brass as you will be using ultra low pressure loads. Loads for those rifles should be kept under 20,000 psi or close to that. Brass stretch at these pressures is negligible compared to the brass stretch at 45-55,000 that you may be used too.
