Eazmo · December 5, 2011, 08:28 PM

were are you all buying your once fired brass?

I'm looking for mostly .223 in rifle and a few others and also some 45acp and 357mag

Just wondering who has the best deals and who you guys use.

I have looked at the brassman.com

www.gunbroker.com Read the offers for sell closely, like everything else if it doesn't specifically answer your concerns ask the seller questions. I've been pleased overall but I must admit I've been skinned a time or two! So far 228 transactions.. William

I've done just fine buying over at The High Road, specifically their Buy/Sell/Trade for reloading components. You have to become a member and be logged in to see the forum, same as here.

I've picked most of mine up myself. I did, however, get 1000 pieces of once-fired processed (cleaned, trimmed, primer pocket swaged) brass in the classifieds section of AR15.com for 6 cents apiece last summer. 95% of it gauged fine. Another 4% needed the rims deburred to drop in the case gauge. About a dozen needed a trip through my sizing die.

I just got a load of 9mm the other day from these guys. Quality was excellent and it has been tumbled. Very little nickle in the batch. I think their 223 is about .07 a piece.

Dodge,

Your link redirects to an insurance company. I think you meant to send him here.

Note that there are at least two Top Brass names in the cartridge brass business. One is that once-fired reseller and the other is Top Brass Inc., a maker of new brass with the Top Brass headstamp as well as supplying fully processed once-fired brass (cleaned, resized, sized, chamferred and deburred, and primer pocket crimps removed).

Eazmo,

Note that once-fired isn't always the best way to go. Natchez currently has new Lake City .223 brass for $120/1000 or $220/2000. That's as cheap or cheaper than some places charge for their once-fired and processed brass. Since it is not primed, there is no crimp to remove from the new LC brass and obviously it has never been over-stretched by a machinegun. That makes it worth more than once-fired.

Thanks unclenik,

as always very sound advise.

I just placed an order with Natchez
