question on price of brass

[Treeman72]

I've managed to get some excess 30-30 brass, once fired. What is a logical price for 100 of them?

Soon, I might have some once fired 44 mag brass as well. If anyone could recommend a price per 100 for the 44 mag brass, I'd appreciate it.

Cheers, and happy shootin!

Same head stamp for each caliber?

One way would be to snoop around on GunsAmerica.com or GunBroker.com and see what once-fired cartridges are selling for there. Someone here will probably have a good idea and post before long, too...

Hornady and federal 30-30, equally divided. The 44 brass is a huge mish mash of brands.

Once fired .30-30 brass cleaned and polished will sell for $20 per 100 for mixed head stamps, and $25-$27 per hundred sorted by head stamp. (Knock off $5 per hundred if it's not cleaned and polished.) Much higher and you start encroaching on the price of new brass - about $35 per hundred for Winchester brass.

It's probably worth your time to tumble it and sort it by head stamp based on price and buyer preferences. In a pistol I don't care about sorted head stamps, but personally I am not interested in mixed head stamp brass in most rifle calibers. .223 is the only exception.

Eee-GADS!!!! I'm glad I bought brass several years ago when I had the chance. I'd quit shooting if I had to pay that now ..... oh wait, I did quit shooting ....

Seriously if you can afford it and the brass is good, buy it. I don't think we're gonna see any price reductions till the economy rebounds, if then.

Last NIB 30/30 brass I bought was $28 per 100. I paid $42 for 100 221 FB brass and was shocked. Guess I am out of touch as well. Have you thought of trading it for brass you need?

PM me on the .44 mag brass. I might be interested.

Thanks for the help everyone. Any brass I sell will be in the classifieds. My 44 brass will probably be at least 5 different brands.
