a2holes Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 I am having a hard time finding fired 40 brass at my range. There is some but 9mm is very plentiful. Any suggestions about how to acquire once fired 40 SW brass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RePete Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 It's going to harder with the police dept's going to 9mm. I have about 12 or gallons of the stuff, so I'm golden. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick_shoots_fast Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Just a heads up, try and get either fully processed brass OR non crimped brass. It’s gonna be hard to find non crimped brass but aint no body got time to fool with crimped brass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joedirt199 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Where do you run into 40 crimped brass. Never saw any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RePete Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 IVI has some crimped brass (made in Canada) and it's the only brand I have seen. It doesn't bother me because I load on a 1050. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joedirt199 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I guess since our department shoots fed, win, rem would explain why I have never seen it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyScuba Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 IVI in 40? Can’t recall seeing that. WVA 40. Hell yes I’ve dealt with that. Picked some up today (our range gets rented to LEO agencies). Past pickups I’ve cleaned the primer pockets with a tool and swaged with the tool that’s sold for the 650 (it was given to me). Still had issues priming some of the cases. I shot the ones that loaded ok at L1’s. getting a mark7 evo so l’ll be ok with dealing with wva cases once I’ve got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry WMA, WVA is stuck in my head as it's a German brake lining code prefix. That's the biz I'm in. I have no experience with 9mm like I do with the WMA 40. Its a real PIA!

RePete Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Nothing to sorry about. I'm a retired auto and heavy equipment mechanic. Running a 1050 a crimped primer pocket is usually not a problem. My biggest problem is with Federal 9mm NT brass, the primer sticks to the Lyman decap pin, and sucks back into the pocket, then the swager crushes the spent primer. Sometimes I can run the brass though again and it becomes usable. Not always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyScuba Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Getting slightly off topic but I have issues with Sumbro 9mm. It's just plain garbage, doesn't decap well, doesn't size well ( I use a mark 7 on a 650 to process) and when I didn't know better early on and reloaded it -it wouldn't gauge either.

MikeyScuba Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) To get back on topic I've found that a lot of the open shooters (up here anyway) usually started in limited then went to open. So they've got a stash of 40 that they no longer use. I had some 38SC that I exchanged 2:1 for 40 from an open shooter recently Maybe ask the open shooters, they probably have bins of 40 stashed "just in case". In reality make them an offer and they will take the cash to buy more 38SC. Edited March 23, 2020 by MikeyScuba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northwest Iowa Brass, you can find them on ammoseek. +1 for them. Also have bought in recent years from elitereloading.com. Elite's prices can be higher than other, but I've been pleased with the consistently low % of crimped, crap, or other cals in their mixes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkR6754 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Since you already have your brass, this is for future purchase. Ammobrass.com That’s where I picked up my once fired. I’ve ordered 40 S&W, .380 ACP, and nickel .223 from a LEO range. All high quality, cleaned, polished, and waxed. My .223 Rem came prelubed.
