I've been offerred over 2000 pieces of once fired .308 Lake City brass for what amounts to about 7 cents apiece.

If the stuff looks to have been fired from a semi-auto like an M1A, I'm inclined to believe a good amount of it won't be in a condition to reload.

If on the other hand it was fired from a bolt-action and appears in good overall shape, would you consider this a good deal?

Within the last week I had probably the best gun-related deal with .308 anyway. A widow sold me 78 boxes of Remington "Kleenbore" 7.62x51 International Match hollowpoint, 168 grain for $5 a box. They don't even make this stuff anymore.

Not sure I really need the once fired LC stuff. Wasn't the LC brass supposed to be of a tougher alloy than you'd find in regular commercial brass?
