Ammunition sources for 56-50 for the Armi Sport 56-50 Spencer.
Ten-XAmmunition is the only source for Armi-Sport 56-50 that I know of. I suggest you contact them and discuss options with them for pre-loaded Spencer brass. Make sure you confirm the cartridge dimensions with them, you'll find they are good folks to deal with.
Sources for Armi Sport Spencer 56-50 Brass for Reloaders.
There is only one source for 56-50 brass with the proper dimensions for the Armi Sport Spencer and that is Starline. Here's the list of available brass from Starline.
Starline brass has been very rare and has been back ordered for quite awhile. Every once in a while you might find some at a well stocked gun store. In fairness to Starline, specialty brass is a low volume business so they have to wait for sufficient interest to make a production run financially viable.
Other Options for Reloaders.
Its possible to form 56-50 brass from 32 gauge brass shotgun shells or 8mm Lebel brass. I will be following this post with a series of posts on how to form brass from both of these cases. Stay tuned for the first series – "Making Brass for the 56-50 Armi Sport Reproduction Spencer From 32 Gauge Brass".
