9mm Brass Source????

[Bugkiller99]

I've gotten Brass from Brassman in the past. Been happy with it. As others have said, scrounging can get you there, if you have patience. If you are in a hurry, buy a batch. It will grow after that.

Once fired brass

You might look at Elite reloading products. Their claims sound decent. Just finished ordering 45acp. $48 per 500 includes shipping. When I get my order I'll pass on how it looks in your thread. I think 9mm is cheaper. I googled once fired brass, a lot of choices.

Around my area, nobody keeps their brass at the range. It all goes into a 55 gallon plastic barrel. Usually twice a week, I go out to the pistol range (when there's no one shooting of course) and start going through what's in the barrel. I have come home with as much as 700-800 pieces of misc. brass-9mm mostly, but 380, 38 Spec., 357 mag, 44 Spec/Mag, 45 acp/Long Colt; you just never know what you'll find!

I take it home, sort it, clean what I want to keep and then give away/trade what I don't use to other reloaders. I currently have app. 10,000 9mm cases (and I only keep 5 different headstamps for my use) and have given away app. another 3,500-5,000. 40 S&W is another that I'm quickly building up my reserve of. As mentioned above, ACME in Wisconsin are great to deal with. When I first started loading 40 S&W, I bought 1,000 pcs. from them through amazon.com. Free shipping and arrived in a couple days. Very nice, clean brass, no issues at all.

Several have PM'd me on the brass. I have not been well enough to dig through it lately. Getting set up for my new chemo journey. Only one trip to the range in three weeks, so ...

But I wanted to say, on some of the "i own it" comments - my range costs much less per day than any other in the area cost per hour, and the right to pick up your own, if you request that when you arrive, and no crossing the firing line (range is never cold) all contribute to the policies. The brass recycling contributes to reducing the operating costs. Since I read the policies, and follow them, I'm agreeable to it. I've seen the arguments between RO and some reloaders (who get to leave) who demand the range be called cold so they can recover some special bit of brass, after they've read the rules.

I bought an estate once, it had the rarest of the rare to me in two boxes of unopened, unprimed 9mm brass. I assumed anyone who wanted some could buy once fired anywhere or pick it up in an afternoon.

I have tried a few vendors and I like the brass from ACME bullet. It is truly ready to load.

Same here at the range people are happy to give em to you
I sometimes offer to sweep them up. The range collects the buckets every day and have a sorter they run them through and then sell
them to the reloading or once fired companys.
I have about 2k in a box I usualy load em maybe 4 or 5 times and go to the once fired brass
