Best Price on 45-70 Gov ammo?
I am looking around to pickup some 45-70 ammo for practice (and reloading the brass after practice) So far the best price I am finding is on a ammo brand HSM at sportman's guide ($20.87 for 20) anybody know of any place with a better price (even a bulk price?)
Thanks GoodOlBoy

HSM ammo is made in Montana and a guy was selling a lot of that brand at the gun show..his prices were a little higher..but no shipping. Since I load all my own I didn't buy any..I did buy 500 rounds of Federal 9mm FMJs at the show for me and a friend..it was 7.49 per box by the 500 round case..but it was at a different sellers table. I have gotten a few boxes of the HSM ammo in the past and it seems to work fine. I did get a couple of neat items in a mess of reloading items.2 Lee loaders..one was in 410 and the other in 45-70.. Sold 'em both quickly though.

G.O.B., Why not just buy one box of factory ammo for pressure measurements and then buy bulk brass for the reloads?
 When I bought my last .270, I bought one box of 150 gr. Winchester Power Point ammo, test fired the gun and and measure case head and pressure ring expansion. Then I bought 200 rounds of Winchester bulk brass and worked up the reload I wanted with the 150 gr. Sierra Game King.  The only factory ammo my guns get is that first box when I buy the gun for the pressure testing. After that, it's bulk brass and handloads for as long as I have that rifle or handgun. If things don't work out, yo can always sell off he gun and components. Seems like a win win siruation to me. Paul B.

main reason PJ is that the empty brass costs more per 20 (for remington brass anyway) than the loaded HSM cowboy rounds cost (using remington brass)
