    223 brass, anyone want them for reloading?

    so i have about 25 empty 223 brass now which isn't many compared to some lead addicts but will have more available in the coming weeks as time and weather allows me to resonate explosions around the district, anyone want them for reloading?

    haha i was thinking about it after banging them, that like all my hobbies it will get out of hand but unfortunately my well established hobbies will prevent me sending any great volume of 223 dia projectiles down the spout. Once i've got it shooting right it will only be an occasional hunting rifle.

    Put it this way, I am married and have four young children, I play golf off around a five handicap, I am a volunteer fire man, I have an old ss Holden that is my main priority, I breed tropical fish and I'm a keen hunter so that leaves me with no time to get to the range empty ammo boxes.
    I'd like to get right onto it but I'm very lucky to be able to do what I don't want to push it

    I can see your problem. I'm in a similar situation, but I also reload.

    Hang on to them for a while till they build up numbers. A mate of mine reloads for 223 but he's in Auckland (like I am) With enough he might want to pay for the postage.

    P.S. How is the hunting up your way?

    duck season was pretty solid for me and other i spoke to around the district but still plenty of birds around, particularly parries so extra attention will be given to them next season. I thinned out a lot of the pukes over the season and this year i have noticed a large increase in ducks and herons and bitterns around my place so i think the reduced puke numbers are allowing other birds to do well. There also seem to be a few areas around northland that goats and pigs are doing well as well so i'll check out some spots that i have heard of and see what crosses my path.
