What is 40-70 straight Shiloh ?  We have auctions for 40-70 Sharps straight brass made from 30-40 Krag.  I am unfamiliar with the Shiloh version.

I think that the Shiloh version has a thinner rim than original cases.

I thought Shiloh used 405 brass ran through a 40-70 sizing die.

The Shiloh was in parentheses to indicate it was for one of their guns. The original Sharps rifles use the thicker rims.

I understood this.  So are you looking for brass marked Shiloh 40-70?

No. Any that will work will do including the various stretched cases like .303 British, .30-40 Krag or the .405 Winchester

We can also make them from 405 WCF for you if you wish, and we barter.

Some of the .40-70 rifles built by Shiloh had chambers tight enough that the .405 Hornady brass wouldn't chamber a 0.408" bullet because of the neck thickness.  I had a Roller built chamber ed specifically for the Hornady brass.  I'm not certain if/when they may have changed.  It might be a good idea to call Kirk with your serial number and get the straight story.
