Best Bang for the Buck 9mm Cleaned Brass

Spur0701 · June 30, 2018, 06:44 PM

I almost hate to ask this question, I feel a little like an information moocher, but I hope someone can help a brother out.....I'm out of clean brass and the summer schedule for the next 3-4 months is so full I don't have time to sort and clean the buckets of dirty range brass I've got....but need to get some reloads done.

I've done some googles and some searches here but so much old info is popping up it's making it hard to find the best price in cleaned 9mm brass. I'm looking for about 5K pieces, anyone have a source for the current best price? It's doesn't have to be wet tumbled with stainless steel pins but if the price difference isn't that much then that would be preferred. Thanks!

Try Esty. I found good used/once-fired brass prices there. Shop around on the site, before you make a decision.

How many 1000 do you want? Is there a headstamp you prefer?

I shoot .40 S&W but pick up everything at the range.

I've got appx 3 to 5000 9mm luger on hand - primers removed - polished

I've got RP, FC, and WIN cleaned up and some other stuff I haven't yet cleaned.

Let me know - we can work out a trade.

Plus shipping of $30 ($63 delivered for 3000).
Shipping is $44 on 6000.

But it is not de-primed or polished. They say it is indoor range pickup.

If you bought, cleaned and sorted, you would have a lot of a couple of different brands. For reloading target ammo, this brass should be adequate. I think it is cheaper than any other.

I’ve recently ordered from ammobrass.com, a father and son operation in Florida. I just received a shipment of 1000 380ACP and 1000 40S&W. This is mixed, presumed once fired brass from an indoor range that doesn’t allow reloaded ammo, but no one can guarantee that. Their customer service is by far the best I’ve encountered in the market, as one would expect from a small family operation.
I checked prices on stainless tumbled and waxed 9mm with the following result:

4,000 cases $112 or $0.028 each
6,000 cases $164 or $0.0273 each
Shipping is free, USPS Priority

Hire a pre-teen kid to sort and tumble the range brass that you have? have him size and decap them as well, if you trust him?

I've used Precision Brass and they are good people with good prices. Their current special is a great deal.

Precision Once Fired Brass in Baton Rouge , Louisiana has the best prices that I've found.
It's a local place so I buy the brass when I go to their indoor range and save on shipping.
They even give you extra in case you get a 380 or 38 Super in the mix.
I give them a 10 .
9mm is on special..... $33.99 for 3000
95% of the cases are really once fired a few are from reloads but they give you extra to make up for it.

Thanks for the tip on Esty, R3Brass out of KS had a reloaders special on, 4K cleaned and polished for $89, + shipping..........between that and a trade with Grey_Lion and an order from Precision I'm set for the rest of the summer, thanks guys!

Good trade w/ Spur0701!!! - Quick turn-around. I'm set for brass for a couple months.

Briandg...that's what my 7-year old grandson does, and he loves it. Great way to introduce him to the sport and spend some quality time.
