223 brass - anyone find any?
Can't be picky at this point. Does anyone know where to find it? It's like it's not even being made. No one has it. I stocked up on primers and bullets but only have 300 or so pieces. Would like some more.

At the prices this guy is charging I'd just wait for Jeff Bartlett to get some more in stock. http://www.topbrass-inc.com/reloadin...?category_id=1

Man, more like top price brass. Geez, a year ago I sold off tons of 223 brass for 40 dollars a thousand. Makes me wish I held onto that 25,000 pieces I had.

That is nutty prices! Unprocessed 5.56 brass was $60-$80 per k. Processed was $100-$120. New LC brass was $200 and on sale $150 per k.

Can you deal with crimped primer pockets ? I will sell you some for $3 a LBS + shipping. I'm guessing I have 500ct. I could spare. Feel free to PM me. Last edited by joneb; January 28, 2013 at 03:17 AM. |

My work has at least one. Maybe two 55 gal drums filled to the top of mostly .556 with some .40 mixed in. Hard to behave...

As far as crimped primers go - that is new to me. How do you load the primers? I had some that were crushing the primers and they would not seat. How do you fix that?

Yeah, really missing the good ole days when I used to manage an indoor shooting range. Most people are retrieving their brass now. At least around here.

I have some I'll sell. Give me a few days to count it. Some Mil. and foreign. I have Guatemala that shot well but has some sort of corrosion due to reaction with packaging. I had to hand polish some with Flitz just to feel better about shooting it.
Also have 308/762 mil and commercial. Just lays in the cellar.

Also, if you use a primer with a harder cup compound, like the CCI #41 that are designed for .223/5.56mm loads, they're more resistant to crushing. You'll still have to smooth away the crimp slightly, but not nearly as much as if you were fitting regular small rifle primers. |

Sorry to say- Your a day late. I just sold 3000 of them full length size and primer pockets uniformed. I have gotten back to about 500 in stock again in the last 2 weeks ,but yes it is getting to be a task to get 223.
