.223 Brass, what is the value today?

[huntingfool]

Just curious how much brass is worth for .223 and .40 cal? I've been letting it go in the past and may be worth trading for something?

 

[jtischauser]

Right now it's not worth anything cause you can't find billets to go on top. J/K kinda

 

[dennishoddy]

It all depends on how bad you want it. I've seen a spread anywhere from $15 per hundred to $50 per thousand.

If i wanted to sell for top dollar i could get100-150 a k for 223 and 35 a k for 40

I just sold 2k on Enos for $95

Ehh. That was .40

Damm!

The .40 isn't that bad, but I had no idea the .223 is that high priced.
I'D never screw somebody like that and try to sleep at night.

Damn I think I still have 1000 rounds of once fired .223 brass I bought for $110 when Obama got elected and I didn't know any better. I guess now is the time to get unscrewed on it.

and if you wanted to sell your 223 in order to buy some overpriced 308 brass or powder, would you still be screwing someone, or would you be screwing yourself?

I don't buy over priced items. I'll go without, but thats just me.

 

[jtischauser]

If I could screw myself...

But what would you do for supper?

But what would you do for supper?

And the movie.

After my 3 gun match Sunday, I would say .223 brass value is proportional to the outside temperature. Lower the temp, the lower the value.

 

[Scott Hearn]

Last batch of .223 I bought was just short of $.04 apiece. That was in bulk, it's been awhile and that was for once fired commercial off of a police range. No swaging! :yes:

 

[rmuller]

the cheapest i have seen any for sale in the last 6 months was $.09/ea and that was for polished range brass. $.11/ea for polished range brass that has been deprimed and pocket swagged.
I am currently sitting on about 1500 pounds (120,000) of once fired stuff that i plan on doing somethign with and selling. I can deprime/swag/clean for about $.095/ea, or deprime/swag/size/trim/clean for about $.12/ea.
just have to find the time to fire up the equipment!

 

[dennishoddy]

Holy Crap! that's a heck of a load of brass to be sitting on!

 

[mike cyrwus]

right now, $40-60 a k for 1x 5.56 brass. When theres a run, it gets up to $75 a k
