Local reloading shop gives me $7.50 per 50 peices of once fired. Although I've never taken any money, usually just trade brass I have and don't reload for for a bag of brass I need. Last swap was 200 once fired .308 for a new bag of .243.

I've never bought anything from gunbroker.com

Places I do shop at are natchezss.com grafs.com powdervalleyinc.com midsouthshooterssupply.com and of course midwayusa.com

CURRENTLY all used brass is being priced at about 2 to 4 times what it was a couple months ago. Gunbroker used to have maybe 2 pages of 223 brass. Now it has 4 or 5 pages.

Bad time to ne stocking up on anything right now, doesnt look like the ban will involveay reloading supplies and prices are just stupid. Buy what you need right now and this BS will pass in time. Lessons from the last panic.

In some calibers, like 38 Super, you can buy new brass direct from Starline for less than used brass.

$7.50 for 50 rounds once fired?? That sounds incredibly high.

I won't go into detail but i recently came into 15,000 rounds of probably twice fired brass. Mainly in handgun calibers but a few rifle calibers.

I have a attentative agreement to sell all to a reloaded I'm familiar with. Thing is, he wants me to come up with a price.

Friend of mine moving to senior place and we're cleaning out his house.

Also have 10,000 unloaded bullets, primers, dies, thousands of loaded rounds of ammo.

Anyway, I digress. Price of brass per 100 or 1,000??

Thanks
Dave

Check Gun Broker on line for used brass.

Before the insanity, mixed headstamp, once fired, polished brass - 9mm was about $30.00 per 1000, .40 was slightly more $35/1000,.45 was about $50/1000, and .38 special was $35/1000. If the lot of brass you are buying is all the same headstamp you can expect to add another $5 to $10 per thousand. Please note - these prices were for once fired brass, and it's pretty easy to tell if the brass you are buying has been fired more than once. Don't pay extra for nickel plated brass, the nickel plated stuff tends to develop neck splits quicker than plain brass. Buy in relatively large lots, of approximately 2000 pieces or whatever will fit into a USPS flat rate box, it saves on shipping.If I were you, I would wait until the price gouging dies down.

No reason to try and find both 223 and 5.56 brass, your dies will size them exactly the same so no need.

At the local gun show last week I was 1000 pieces of new LC .223 brass @50 cents each. that's right, $500 for 1k .223 brass! outrageous... I would not be buying 223 brass until the panic is over. Much of the handgun brass has gone up to 10 cents each instead of 5 cents each. The panic again and that's if you can find any... Sorry.

Well, in the olden days (last year), it was something like this:

40 S&W: a penny a piece in lots of 1,000
9mm: about the same
45 ACP: averaged 3-4 cents each for good stuff by the thousand.
.223: 4 cents unprocessed by the thousand. Most sellers at least tumbled it and sold it for 5-6 cents ea per thousand depending on headstamp. 223/5.56 shooters are big on headstamps. FC brass wasn't really worth anything unless the buyer was uninformed or desperate. Remington & Winchester brought top money.

Nowdays? If you really need it, click on "buy now", and eat bologna sandwiches for lunch for two weeks.

Those prices look like the very low end of what was available. I reload a lot and buy a lot of brass, and used to pay .025 for 9mm, .05 for .45, .03 for .38, .025 for .40, and .05 for .223 but as mentioned, today all bets are off. The current prices are simply ridiculous IMO. If you're wanting to buy, sit tight for a few months. If you're selling, I'd ask for about 2X the prices I listed above. You can always haggle down but it's tough to go up.
