I think it's worth clarifying exactly what you are going to get before it's easy to gage whether it's a good deal or not....
Are they miscellaneous headstamp Mil-spec brass? Machine gun fired or rifle fired or all of the above?
Defective cases sorted out?
Cleaned?
Decapped?
Primer pockets processed for military crimp and proper primer depth?
FL Sized through a small base die?
Trimmed to length and deburred?
I would personally pay the teeny bit extra for all the above services to be performed... Doing the primer pockets yourself on 500 rounds will only cost you a couple bucks extra - but it would take you the better part of a week of evenings.... Same for FL sizing with a small base die....
Thanks
No, they are all mixed brass and not prepped. the guy I bought them from is a member of the local range all the PDs train at, which is where he gets his brass. So this is all rifle fired.
I did about 100 or so last night. Some are crimped primers and struggled in the die, but only about 1 out of 20. I pop the primers before tumbling because I am using a water mixture. I also purchased a universal trimmer last night so that should speed things up. I had been doing them by hand until now.
So far the crimped primers, while harder to remove, are still uniform in shape with the regular brass so priming won't be an issue. I have had lots before where almost every damn casing had to be reamed and yes that gets VERY tedious.
