I have just ordered a Contender barrel in 50-70-750 and I am trying to
locate a source of reliable brass. I noticed that Dixie Gun Works lists
this caliber brass but warns that is for black powder use only. If anyone
knows were I can find 50-70 brass I would appreciate the information.

too, demands a firm and watchful stance against any unexpected onset.

Check Out the June 1995 Handloader Magazine, Jay Turner wrote an article on
the 50-70-750 SSK Contender Barrel. He used Dixie Gun Works brass.

It appears that he kept the powder charges low (then, again this is a
handgun, and you are supposed to enjoy shooting it, not break your wrists).

Bruce bertram has a very nice catalog of rare and unusual
brass. He is a very pleasant fellow and nice to do
business with.
