Source For LC 7.62x51mm Brass

Anybody know where I can buy virgin (or once fired) Lake City 7.62x51mm brass? I have been looking and asking for a while without success. I had one local guy sell me some but they were obviously reloaded several times.

Thank you.

What you might encounter is brass fired in a machine gun, and it will more then likely need to sized for your use in a small base die.

Frequent your local rifle ranges & pick up "free range brass".
I've found that a lot of rifle shooters have a LOT more money than I do and leave their spent brass of all kinds at the range to help out us unfortunates.
I find LC brass commonly where I shoot. (south Florida) along with many others just waiting for me to pick up.
