I need to make some bullets. I have a source for brass, I just need to know how much to pay or trade him.
Normal Price?
Panic Price?

BIL, it depends on what brand it is. Range pick up brass from a foriegn made brand or mixed head stamps will go for a lot less than Winchester or Lapua 223 brass. Also, does the brass have a crimped in primer? If the primer is crimped in, you will have to remove the crimp in order to reload it. That can be a tedious task, and that will influence price. So, who's brand is it and is the primer crimp removed?

It is federal tactical stuff once fired. I'm unsure about the style of primers It will be crimped. Is it claw crimped or ring crimped? Does it say LC (date) ex...LC 11 (Lake City) or is it Federal Brass (FC). If it's Federal I'd recycle it. Won't get but a couple of loadings out of it. If it's Lake City you got some decent stuff. New Crimp  Old Ring Crimp

I agree there a ton of sources to get it prior to all the crazyness now it's all dried up. I think everglades had it in stock buy they were selling it for @ $170/k
It happens to be a well thought out and reasoned dissertation on drug use and a lyrical cost/benefit analysis of various kinds of drugs, drawing the conclusion that beer is the best of them all.

It's probably gonna be a while before it becomes widely available again. It'll be hit and miss for a while and EXPENSIVE. Looking now is being WAY late to the party.
