Most everything I have seen lately is once fired LC $120 - $160olemiss said:Well, new 223 brass is about $210 per thousand, and you can get once fired 223 LC brass for $75 per thousand, which works out to 36% the cost of new brass. Since SSA brass is $420 per thousand, 36% would be $151 per thousand of once fired brass. So, I guess a fair price would be about $15.10 per 100 once fired cases. I know this does not take into account the scarcity of 6.8 compared to 223 brass, but I don't think it is worth saving just a few dollars if once fired brass is almost the cost of new stuff.

I would say it would be counter productive with shipping cost for a 100... to 20 ratio. I think its a good idea if you start with 500 cases for 100 rounds.rcnut said:why not try to work out a deal. I have an idea, offer the brass 100 count for free if the person would reload and send you back 20. you could work out the bullet weight between you. This is what I have been comtemplating since I do not reload. I want to learn but right now it is the barter system. what do you all think???????
Brassman Brass has it for around $85/1000. They usually only have stock for a single day during the week, and it sells out fast. I just call them by phone every once in a while to check in. Got another 1,000 cases three weeks ago. Don't go paying $140 on ARFCOM to somebody ripping you off...jamesb74 said:where have you seen this?DDriller said:Most everything I have seen lately is once fired LC $120 - $160olemiss said:Well, new 223 brass is about $210 per thousand, and you can get once fired 223 LC brass for $75 per thousand, which works out to 36% the cost of new brass.
