Post by RanchRoper » Wed Apr 18, 2018 10:16 am

Somebody offered me $1.59 US per lb for my old brass. No idea if that's a fair price???

RR it is selling for 15.00 to 18.00 a hundred on Gunbroker. Guys are charging shipping on top of that. But I don't know what it costs to ship from where you are at to the States. Al

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

It's a place in Canada that sells remanufactured ammo. They have a tough time getting 45C brass, but maybe now I see why. $1.59 US per pound is $2 Canadian.

Approximately 60 .45 Colt cases per lb. - and some dude wants to give you . $1.59 per lb? Thats like .026 per case which is highway robbery! I think you could get probably 4 - 5 C. per case in the 'real world'.

Might just hang on to them for now. Another long winter like the one we just had, might be lots of reloading time.

good move ... if you should ever make the incredibly wise decision ;) to load your own ammo, you sure couldn't by casings for what he's wanting to give you
