I have been to the leobrass and brassman sites and looked around. Has anyone had personal experience with their stuff? Is it TRULY once fired?
Feel free to offer up some other sources for quality brass that won't break the bank. :-)
Thanks in advance!!!

9mm brass is probably the most abundant and cheapest brass on the
market. I have no experience with the vendors you mention but there's
no reason to pay a high price for 9mm brass. Check out the components
listings on Gunbroker for comparisons. There are lots of sellers on
there and you can read their feedback and get a good idea if they are
honest or not.
 
Check for someone local. Ask who the range(s) you go to sells their brass to, I buy unprocessed, sorted brass for $20 per K. Lasts me a long time because I pick up my own brass when I practice and shoot my weekday night match. The weekend matches I leave it lay (and probably buy it back eventually). I could pick it up at most of the matches but I have other things on my mind.
 
Just scrounge your local range. It's everywhere. If you want a good reputable company this one is very good. Not the cheapest but their brass is clean and processed. You know what you are getting.

Very fast service and nice to deal with. Shipping is free (over $50) you can buy bullets there also.

I bought some 308 rifle brass as I did not feel like removing military primer crimps.

Once Fired 9mm Processed Brass 1000 Count
 
I've had good luck scrounging. I simply just try to leave with more than I brought. Sometimes I have 10 more. Sometimes I have 150 more. Over time it adds up....faster than I realize.
 
My range keeps brass to resell to reduce range fees, unless you ask specifically at check-in to pick up your own. I always request pick up rights, and sometimes actually pick it up. So I have a load of brass (9 /45 / 380 /38 /357) unsorted in a wine bottle box - all those who begged me to keep it for them have vanished. I've been to lazy to carry it to the recycler, so it is in the garage.

You cover the shipping (not sure how that would work), and say please ... or maybe do a good karma. It is really once-fired, and is taking space.

I've got news for them--I own my brass until I decide otherwise. So does every other shooter on the line. Some will gladly donate their brass to others or the range as they see fit.
 
9mm brass is some of the toughest little cases to roll out of a factory. I have yet to wear a case out and I don't suspect I ever will. I wouldn't get hung up on once fired for these little guys. The only thing I watch for is military brass...can have thicker case walls and semi crimped primers.
 
You might want to try placing an ad in the "Want To Buy" section of the Classifieds on this forum. You never know what might be out there.....
 
I buy a lot of brass off of Gun Broker and I have never had a bad experience. I just bought 500 38 special cases cleaned and sorted for $30.
 
Along with bullets, I got range brass from Acme Bullet Co. in Wisconsin for $20.00 per 500. Got about 15 extra pieces which made up for a few that I tossed; one 7.62x25 and four military cases that needed primer pocket swaging. They are not sold as once fired, but they were clean and shiny.

9MM Range Brass
 
I have used Buddy Brass. Never bought 9's from them, but other stuff. Good luck on the hunt! My brass as others have mentioned comes off the range ground. Only thing have bought lately, is 45 Colt. Bob

Just bought a 1,000 once fired 9mm , cleaned and polished , brass. It was a good deal. Go to WWW.USRELOADER.COM . Shipping is free :cool: . Mine was $ 34.50 to my door. Nice company to deal with. :D

Ditto on the range pickings, indoor or out. When I had my model 39 I always left the range with 3 times as much brass as I fired. The only thing more common is 22 rimfire! Instead of buying brass, spend the money on a good tumbler set up.

Since this is a current thread I thought I'd report on an epic "unloading" session I had this morning. At our club one drives by the pistol range to get to the rifle range. I stop at the pistol range just to check the brass buckets and they're as full as I've ever seen them. Rather than pick through it all there I dump them into a gallon ziplock bag I have. It was probably 1/2 full. I figure I'd sort them later today sitting on the front porch.

The rifle range is busy - lots of hunting rifle sighting-in going on. So lots of cease fires so folks can check targets. They were happening more frequently than I needed - so I dump out the bag and start sorting.

I ended up with 250 9mm cases and 50 .38 Spcl cases. 70 degrees. Blue sky. Beating the **** out of a steel spinner with some of my home-made .223s. It's what Saturdays are for!
