what's a fair price for 223 brass?

[bigretic]

Pre panic price please. I am looking to buy some and the seller is not sure what it is worth and neither am I since i have never reloaded it yet. This is a friend to friend deal.

In October of 2012, I sold .223 brass for about $60/K. This was range pick-up, tumbled clean, sorted by headstamp.

You can search the INGO Classifieds with some key words like ".223 Brass" to get many other examples.

I would say between $0.05 and $0.06 per round as well. Not the $0.14 to $0.25 cents that folks are asking these days..

What? .05 cents? Now I feel poor again. So much for spending an hour at the range picking up .223

I usually can get 1000 once fired for $100

I bought new Lake City for $140 per 1,000 (14 cents per).

The last time I bought .223 brass I think I paid $40/1000

thanks guys!

I wouldn't pay more than 6 cents a case for range pick up, even if you are positive is only once fired.

Lake City once fired at Widener's still priced at $68/1000 when in stock.

If there were nickels scattered on the ground at a range, I'd spend a hour picking them up!

For sure.

I just sold 500 for .10/round That seemed to be a fair going price from what I could find.

Depends on what you're looking for. Back in the day I decided that winchester brass was going to be a staple in my 223 reloading and it'd be what I would use exclusively. Sure, you could get on gunbroker and find mixed bags of cruddy brass for less, but if you want brass that's been fired once and has the exact same headstamp then you're looking in the $100 - $120 shipped price range. I've bought a lot of brass this way over the years and I'm always happy with what I get, but being picky costs money some times. I'm picky because I use this brass for long range precision. If you're looking to shoot a pumpkin at 50 yards behind the barn then just buy the cheapest brass you can get your hands on.

^^^This! Or, you can go to the range and play pickup!

 

[Water63]

I think around $70 /K is fair

Lake City once fired at Widener's still priced at $68/1000 when in stock.

That's pretty good. I am going to check into a couple K at that price.

People don't leave it laying like a few years ago. I am in the group who did but it got expensive enough in the last year even before the current madness that I broke down and started loading 223. Now it another 2 toolheads etc for the 650.

I just bought 200 rounds yesterday and probably paid too much but I got Lake City once fired for $15 per 100, also was allowed to get my 3 boxes of 22lr for $4 a box while I was there.

Probably right! I left the range saturday with more than I came with, but I think that's only because of the cold! People will search for that last piece for hours when it's nice out! Lol!
