Luke,

Welcome.... you will find amazing people here, willing to help.  Men of great talent and wisdom.  OK, some not so much.  BUT they will tell you the truth, and help you get deeply involved in our addiction.

Try Muzzleloader Builder's Supply, or Track of the Wolf.  Sheet brass available in various thickness to suit your needs.

Again.........Welcome.

You can find it at the local hobby store in just the thickness you need to make patch boxes or rod pipes. Some times a good hard ware store will have the same set up for brass that the hobby store has. Not every body has an Alaska Brass and Copper Co. in town. I found my sheet stock in a 36" by 24" and it cost me 30 bucks. I have enough for the rest of my life.

Go to Lowes or Home Depot and buy yourself a door kickplate located in the hardware section.  Wormey

   Do what Mitch (Tallbear) told you, then you will know what you are getting.  260 cartridge brass is the way to go, other things like kickplates etc. can be almost any alloy.

My local Ace Hardware has a nice selection in different thickeness too.

LUUUUUUUUUUKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM YOUR FATHER...

Oh, sorry. I just can't seem to ever see the name Luke without remembering that line from Star Wars or was it Tommy Boy. I don't remember which.
Anywho. Luke. What size brass you need. I got 5 lifetimes worth and I'll never use it. It's yours for shipping. Just give me a size.

WOW! How can you say no to an offer like that. Way to go.
