"When I buy brass I prefer......"

[FromTheGrave]

Just wondering how you guys who buy brass occasionally prefer it.

[baih777]

I look for once fired range pickup.
If it has the original primer, you know it has not been reloaded.
I consider dirty brass left at the range that nobody wanted.

If I buy used brass I will never buy it if someone else has done anything to it, especially de cap and size.

[CEDaytonaRydr]

I mean, I "prefer" brand new Lapua, or Norma brass but...

Besides military brass with a crimped primer, how can you tell a primer is original?

[rcslotcar]

If I'm buying I prefer cleaned so I know it is good. I can pick up dirty brass myself for free.

[MrElectric03]

I've already poured the money into everything to clean my range brass, I'd rather get the best price on the brass I'm buying and prep it myself.

[Bumslie]

Cheap

[Carsgunsandchics]

I voted dirty because I can sort and clean it myself and we all know time is money. And knowing the price will be less due to the work and possible junk case% gamble.

[JagerDog]

I tend to buy from commercial type outfits which have access to large amounts of like brass. 500-5000 of like headstamps. It's usually cleaned, but not what I'd consider polished.

[CK_32]

People buy brass???

[LynnJr]

I voted other because I buy new brass that hasn't been compromised by someone who doesn't know how to reload.

I've been buying new brass for years. I buy 1000 at a time.

Mostly .45ACP, 10MM, .38 special and .357 Magnum.

Right now I have 1000 .357 and 500 38 plus p headed my way..

For 5.56 I reload once fired Lake City.......30,000 empties in stock. I process small batches at a time..

But I just bought a cement mixer from Lowes to process bigger batches next year...

Dang and I thought the 5,000 I have on hand was a lot of work. Took me damn near a couple months to prep all that brass, doing 200 round batches here and there when I had spare time.

Mike, that's EXACTLY why I bought a rubber tub cement mixer at Lowes.



Seriously, my wife said WTF......you'll never get that done with your Dillon
Vibrator...........so I let her talk me (thru brilliant manipulation of the conversation) into heading over to Lowes. Haha.

Next, 40 pounds of stainless pins........
