How do you get your brass?

[Wolfhound]

I’ve got tons of brass. Tons and tons. PM me if you plan on buying. I’ll hook you up at a fraction of the cost of buying at a store.

edit: didn’t realize I’d get a lot of PMs quickly from that. I don’t have thousands of whatever you want for $10! I am not a blowout liquidator. Thanks.

I am truly surprised by this.

I saw an ad in the newspaper from a scrapyard in 1989. 38 spl, 45 auto and 30 car brass $2 per pound. I called a cousin, yes get me 30 pounds of 38 spl if they have it. That left 15 pounds for myself.
About 2000 I traveled for my company. I carried a Lee C frame with decapping/sizing die along with a board to mount it on and C clamps to fix it onto most surfaces. At one location I saw an ad in the paper. 38 spl brass, call for price. $25 for a 5 gallon bucket full. It was finished by the time I left, placed on the plane with my other luggage. Wonder what the maid thought when she picked up the trash bag?

Always thought shooting new and recovering brass was the most fun. Several friends who do not reload supplied me with a lot of the brass. On some of my loads like .45-70 I supplement with new purchased brass. I have squirreled way more than I will ever use. One thing I do when brass is no longer good for reloading is to recycle it.
