    Brass prices

    Hey guys looking for some input, have once fired brass of all makes and calibers. What would a fair price be to be asking? Half price of new?

    Good brass (Norma, Lapua etc ) yeah about that, maybe 90c, for the lessor stuff more like 40-50c pretty much all prices are subdued at the moment, just look at some of the steals for good 2nd hand rifles.
    If you're going to sell them on here just chuck em up, if they don't sell you know you're too high, pretty educated market within the forum
    Ultimately they're worth what someone is willing to pay.

    If you have 223 Hornady or 6.5cm Lapua/Hornady, I'd be interested.

    I'm usually happy to pay up to about $1 per case for medium cals like 308. Less for 223 etc. Yeah market is subdued, but new brass is so damn pricey that I'll pay a bit for second-hand so long as I save a decent amount compared to new.

    Free to pick up once fired at my range, if your not too fussy regarding brand. Esp common chamberings.
    Hunt safe, look after the bush & plug more pests. The greatest invention in the history of man is beer.

    A bit more bang is better.

    From memory I paid $40 for a bag of ADI 5.56 once fired brass, worked out to be around 175 cases from memory...
    Magnums and less common brass worth more, half decent 243, 308, etc maybe around 40-50c per case? More for some of the "better" brands (Lapua, Norma, etc).

    Lol. The postage might be a bit much.



    Don't think I've been yet and not picked some nice 223 or 30.06 brass.
    Did have a fair bit of 308 but got a feeling I gave it away. (80 or so I think) Don't recall the brand.
