I'm at the point in my life where I want to shoot a lot. For me that means reload a lot. Which means prep a lot or buy already prepped components like cleaned brass. Of course there's got to be a balence between time (mine) and cost. So, I'm looking into starting to buy processed or cleaned brass in bulk. I've found a few places that it can be bought for <$0.04 ea shipped. That adds up over the 20k rounds I want to shoot next year. However, when I think about the cost (of materials) to do it myself, I'd guess it's really only about $0.02 ea. Again, that's more money that can be spent on other stuff but then there's the time it takes to do it (which can be spent doing other things) So,...there's a trade off on both sides. For me time is more important as long as the cost isn't too much. Plus I HATE picking up brass!
Is anyone else buying used brass? If so, do you have anyone you'd recommend?
