Brass cost question


Recommended Posts

If you were to purchase once fired dirty 45lc. 4300 pieces.

On the side would also be a few pounds of 38spl, 44-40 and 32 long. So a value you're willing to pay for everything?

I ended up with away to much brass and I'm just looking to see what the average person would pay for it.

I'm assuming this is from a lost brass match? In which case you don't know it's once fired.

 

Regardless, I pay a nickel a case for used pistol brass. So your 4,300 rounds would be $215.

 

No idea about the other, because I've never bought used brass by the pound.

Online prices for tumble cleaned .45 Colt range brass with various head-stamps varies:

 

$120 for 500.

$29.75 per 100

$41.95 for 250

As you can see the numbers aren’t consistent. 
 

This is a good reminder that I need to get some more .45 Colt brass. When I moved I gave away a LOT of brass trying to cut down the overall weight of my stuff.

At my LGS, we sell non-dash pistol bras that has been tumbled for .10 each.

Amazing price; they usually cost more.

We base our prices on one half of what Starline charges for their new brass.

i have so much brass ive not given this any thought in recent years but its nice to know what they are going for these days , i once won some starline at a major match - it added to my inventory but i didnt need it really , i get a lot of once fired from our range , 

 

i had a young man at the range last weekend offer me 100 rounds of once fired paper shotgun hulls - at one time when he worked for us i was reloading that - ive since switched to plastic as the paper hulls will swell - i loaded a few flats that gave me trouble the plastic dont ,
