View Full Version : Bad 223 Brass... Could be GREAT 300 whisper brass

So... I have 37lbs / 2600rnds of lake city, annealed, once-fired, military crimped primer, unprocessed, that for some reason or another is not good for 223 anymore. Some of it may be fine, I don't really know enough about reloading to call it. If it wasn't 100% round it got tossed in this bin.

The most common problem is the mouth is a little bent or out of round. I was about to recycle it when I realized it could make good 300 whisper brass.

So... if anyone wants it I'll sell it cheap, like $85 shipped (~$0.03 per) if someone wants all of it. Otherwise it's worth $45 if I recycle it and that doesn't cost me shipping. I'd rather see it go to use.

Here is a photo, I had a handful of blanks I dumped on top. Ignore those.

I'd be willing to do 1000 at time or so if someone wants.

Second photo is of good brass, but I wanted to show the headstamp. I have 3000 of that also avail, but I'd rather see the bad stuff turned into good whisper first.

Sold!

I won't be back home until monday Aug 24, but if you can wait that long I will mail off a money order that day. I'll even take the blanks if you don't want them!

Sharky,

Consider them yours. I'll start about boxing them up tonight.

I can't get ahold of sharky, so if anyone wants it, still for sale.

As far as the blanks, I think you can since a lot of the case is cut. There are only total 20 blanks in the entire bin. It's a misleading photo since they were all on top.

If you want to split the lot up in half (1300 rounds) for $40 shipped I'd be very interested. Let me know.
