223 brass

[Delta yote]

Where can i find some once fired 223 (not 5.56) brass and what should i expect to pay How can u tell if the brass has a crimped primer or not. This is my first bulk purchase mainly been buying new brass since I am new to reloading.

I just got 1000 223Rem Winchester NT once fired brass that was tumbled for $80. Cost 20 bucks shipping.

That was on a Canadian gun site(forum). Canadian gun nutz.

I see prices often from $70-$100 per 1000 once fired.

All federal will be crimped. There's a tiny band of extra metal holding the primer in. I don't have a tool to clean those up yet but it'll be a long time before I get to my crimped once fired brass.

LC is some good brass. And at its price point, one can buy a bunch, separate it out by weight, etc. and have some high quality consistent brass. And if you shoot 223 in high volumes, get a primer swager. They're worth their weight in gold!

OK Cat, I give up, what happens in two weeks? Do your meds wear off......or?

 

[Ridgeline17]

Just wait Claimbuster, you will see! Matter of fact, should be within the next three to four days.

Do as you please, of course, but I'm with pahntr760 in that I love the LC sorted by weight.

 

[Widow maker 223]

I dont see the need to sort by weight. I run RP and a bunch of different years if LC mixed together and get 3/4 and smaller groups.

What happens in 3-4 days cat???? Let the cat out of the bag !!!
