This confuses me. I messaged the seller asking what headstamp, and what primer - neither is listed or shown in the picture. I received no reply. The bidding is up to $42 plus actual shipping cost. .... https://www.gunbroker.com/Item/877101457 ....I don't understand why anyone would want to bid on an unknown product, or why they would even want primed brass in the first place. $50+ for 100 primed .44 Mag cases is just stupid. MidwayUSA usually has Starline unprimed for $22.

There is a guy in Spokane offering full brass processing - sort, deprime, clean, primer pocket clean, resize, trim and flare, but NOT primer installation. Who in the world would pay for this process? If you are going to load the powder and bullets, you are also going to want to do the other easy steps. The case cleaning, not so much.... I hate that part.https://www.spokaneguntrader.com/viewto ... 0&t=144267

I actually find the reloading process to be therapeutic and relaxing, I don't want to pay for some other guy to do the part I like most. Comments?

I am with you on this, all the way.

I sometime enjoy buying processed 9mm brass from a local supplier. It's cheap and all I have to do is prime, powder, bullet. I don't think I'd pay the prices for other calibers though.

Agreed Gents, unless it is factory new, I prefer to clean, trim and prime my own brass so I know what I have.

John, looks like you're preaching to the choir here, LOL.
I prefer to roll my own, as they say. If I buy new brass, it's usually
Starline unprimed.

The primed brass sounds a little fishy to me.
