Brass prices...

[LSP972]

What's the going rate, per fired case, for once-fired .45ACP commercial brass... specifically, Winchester yellow brass?

Not much info out there... or else I've been looking in the wrong places.

I have a large surplus that a local fellow wants to trade me; I need a reasonable figure to compute the trade value of this stuff.

TIA...

Have you tried Gunbroker for pricing?

I generally see anywhere from $70 to $80ish for 1000 peices from "sites" that have fully processed brass. Some including sizing and depriming are around $100 per 1k.

That's kinda high. I wouldn't pay over $60 to include shipping which is 10.50 flate rate.

Once fired unclean.

I really wouldn't consider that especially when trading. Value it lower.

Powder Valley has .45 for $68 per thousand.

anywhere from 5-6 cents a pc delivered is a pretty fair price and a decent deal for the buyer. Ive seen it sell like wild fire for 7c or more though.

I just purchased 3000 rounds for $100 shipped.

I just bought 3000 for 120.

Paying more than 5 cents per peace seems expensive.

I'll give you $110!

With what I am seeing from you guys, it explains why I sold the 45 in favor of the 40. I guess I needed to find different suppliers and I would have kept the 45.

BTW, These prices were for sorted, and clean to high shine.

Current prices have been running around $50.00+Flat rate shipping for mixed headstamp cleaned.

Fifty/1000 dirty from a local guy that shoots factory ammo.

$50 / 1000 seems to be pretty much the going rate, although I've seen it advertised a little cheaper, and a little more.

I get all of my brass once fired for free after law enforcement quals at local range. 9 mm, 40.,45 and 223....(by the 5 gallon bucket)

Well, that doesn't really help the OP with his question now does it?

I wish I had an endless brass fountain like that.

For what it's worth, I just sold 2000, uncleaned, 45 ACP for $80, plus $14.50 "fits it ships" shipping.

Buyer and seller both happy. That's the test. :-)

I buy mine from www.leobrass.com

$50 for 1000 45ACP

(Also I'm not affiliated with the owner of leobrass in any way, I'm just a customer)

In response: 5 pennies is all you should have to pay for fired range sweeps. This way the undesireable stuff can be wasted. I plan on spending up to 8 cents as a high average. I do not factor polishing time/cost when I talk brass, as it is insignificant. I sell mixed 1K@80$US in a FRM(+$10.50) for instance. I can get 1K a week from my local range. After the last ammo scare, why not bank it in the rafters?
