You're in the right place right here. A few weeks back I posted a thread looking for 380 ACP, not picky about cleanliness or once fired. I wanted around 500 to get me started.

Between This forum and two others, and our forum buddies, I soon had TWO FREAKIN THOUSAND, on the way! Cost was negligible, some even being FREE! I did a little trading for some also. It was fun, I met some new stand up dudes, and now have enough brass that I don't mind losing a few. jd

yeah, just check the classified's section on the main page, in gear, holsters, etc. this is where i have been buying 90% of my once fired brass. better prices than anywhere else online.

they are all great sellers, and i wouldnt put anyone over anyone else. but i have been using this guy lately and his prices are great

I was going to ask what your main reason for requiring "once fired", and just how will you tell if they are? jd

A google search showed ads for "once fired" and I have no idea how to tell other than the sellers claim

BTW, thanks for the referral to the classifieds

Yeah, you pretty much have to assume the seller is honest. Forum classifieds is a great place to look. Tons of guys sell their extras there.

Not sure how it is in your area but here in DFW Craigslist is pretty easy. Do a search for "reloading brass". I just tried it for grins and got several sources. 45 ACP should be pretty easy and 40 S&W is everywhere.

Hope this helps!

I just got a shipment in from these guys (http://monmouthbrass.com/) of 40 S&W of 5,000. Just finished cleaning them all up and there were only a few to throw out.

I have traded brass that I don't load for supposedly once fired from a few different forum classified with reasonably good results. A few shipments came in that had very questionable brass as far as "once fired". I sort it good and chuck some. I also have cleaned out my closets and came up with some good stuff that I haven't used in years and put it up for trade for brass and have done really well. I have 1000s of cases now, in all the calibers that I load for with the only cash being shelled out was for shipping.
