Starline Brass .45-100 Sharps Brass 50 Pack
The .45-100 Sharps, also known as the .45-2.6", is one of the classic long-case cartridges of the American buffalo hunting era. Developed as an extended version of the .45-70 Government, its larger powder capacity was designed to deliver higher velocities and greater long-range performance, making it a favourite for hunting large game and for long-range target shooting. Today, it remains highly regarded by Black Powder Cartridge Rifle (BPCR) competitors and enthusiasts of historic Sharps and other single-shot rifles.
Suitable for both black powder and modern smokeless loads in appropriately rated firearms, the .45-100 Sharps offers exceptional versatility for traditional and modern handloaders alike. Starline manufactures this brass to exceptional strength, ensuring excellent durability for high-pressure smokeless hunting loads while maintaining the flexibility required for black powder applications.
At Hamilton’s Armoury, we back Starline Brass because it’s built with the same mindset we apply to everything we do — no shortcuts. With over 30 years of dedication to quality, Starline continues to produce premium brass for those who take their shooting seriously.
Note: Starline .45-100 brass is manufactured with additional strength to withstand the elevated pressures of modern smokeless hunting loads when used in suitable firearms. When loading with black powder, annealing the case mouth may be necessary to ensure proper chamber sealing due to the lower operating pressures generated by these loads. Starline recommends annealing the brass where appropriate to suit the intended application.
