Brass pricing

[pjcalla]

Just out of curiosity, how high do you think brass pricing is going? The recent frenzy has people paying $0.75-$1.00/rd for loaded 223, and I'm sure the brass market has done the same (if you can find any). I haven't seen any 223 brass for sale, so I was curious if anyone has found any, and what the going rate is. If my math is correct, if people are paying 100%+ premium for loaded ammo, is the brass market following suit, making 1,000 once-fired $150ish?

Just curious as to what people are seeing, as I haven't seen much talk on the casing side of things.

If people are willing to pay 5 times the price for a 223 Hornady shellplate, what do you think they'll pay for brass?

Profire has been selling Virgin uncrimped/primerless LC for $135ish/K when they have it (had about 100K this morning). I've seen other places selling fully processed once fired for close to $200/K.

I have brass I want to get rid of but because of the silly rules on this website I cannot sell it until I have more posts. Got my hands slapped and post count reduced yesterday for trying. Felt like I was in elementary school again.

No it is that some of try to learn more from good quality posts and not put stupid sh** for people to read that is no help. I have learned a lot so far from this website and have no problem helping when I have the knowledge. I just don't have vast knowledge that some on here do to post daily or frequently.

Put it on gunbroker. People here would rather reduce the supply.

I was able to find some ammo online today and i took the plunge and ordered some. I paid .60 cents a round for mine. Thats about the cheapest you'll find it these days unless you get really lucky.

I did not know gunbroker sold ammo or reloading supplies. I have always just looked at gun on there. Thanks for the heads up!

They sure do. No socialist bullies over there.

This is what I was looking for. Thanks.

It just amazes me what the market has done lately. I'm not complaining, I'm all for open markets, capitalism, etc. It's pretty surreal what a few words from our dear leader will do. We are getting close (if not already there) to the cost of the components equaling factory loaded ammo from a few months ago (if you can find them).

The current situation is reminding me of when BO first got elected. Everyone scrambling for ammo. The "Ammunition and Reloading" sub forum here is being overtaken by threads: "There's 45 at Walmart in Columbus, get it while you can," etc. just like 4 years ago. It eventually subsided, but it seems this time is a little different.

The demand for gas is relatively constant and it's something that we cannot do without, for the most part. Ammo/component costs will come down again...we just have to keep our heads until it does. I hate to put it like this, but I'm pretty disappointed in all of the chicken littles among gun owners.

It is not different this time, it's just taking a little longer to sort out. Be patient and you'll see things return to normal, just like they always do.
