WTT Brass for bullets etc

[Retired MSG]

Hi,
I've been cleaning and sorting brass recently and found I have some for calibers I don't shoot. Specifically, I have 420 brass .40 caliber casings mixed headstamp mostly Win that have been decapped and wet tumbled. I'd like to trade them for either small pistol primers (I know, it's a long shot, but maybe someone needs brass and has primers), or bullets either for .223/5.56 or 9mm. If interested message me and we can set something up. For primers I'd possibly be willing to throw in some cash too for the right deal. Brass is as far as I know once fired, got it from a military buddy who was going to reload himself but he got transferred. I have smaller amounts of some rifle calibers (270 Win, 308, and 30.06 Springfield) that could sweeten a deal too. Make me an offer.
Thanks
Tim

Ok, I'll play. Just what would you consider a fair trade ? How many .224 bullets of what type and weight is a fair trade ? How many small pistol primers is a fair trade ? What other brass do you have ? I can't see shipping primers, simply because of the HAZMAT fee, but tell me what you think is a fair trade.

Sorry about the lack of clarity, I was trying to get it posted before crashing last night, probably should have waited. I think the primers are a long shot, someone would have to both have a stockpile of those and need the brass, and as you note be close enough for FTF exchange, due to shipping. I would think 200 primers would work, and like I mentioned in the OP if someone was willing to part with more I would consider adding some cash from my end, but I do consider this a long shot. As for bullets maybe 250-300 and would prefer 62 or 55 gr in the rifle caliber or anything between 115 and 147 gr in 9mm. Not particular about the bullet type, these will be plinking rounds out of a Mini14 or 9mm carbine/9mm pistol. With prices all over the place currently I'm not sure if these amounts are wildly out of line, I'm seriously not trying to gouge. I just cleaned around 5000 cases and will be busy finishing loading the calibers I do shoot, and thought I could possibly make some mutually beneficial deal with someone for these. Please let me know your thoughts, thanks

I'll check the amounts of the other brass and post it shortly

Hello...is this a total list of rifle brass that you are getting rid of? I have any 223/556 projectile that you might be looking for.

Pats reloading has pulls if all you want are plinking projectiles.

How did those 35 Remington work out this season?

Hiya @Varmint ! The .35 Rem was perfect, thanks, worked out exactly as needed. I appreciate your generosity. That is all the rifle brass I have to trade, there was a bunch of .223/5.56 that I'm looking to reload myself. Projectiles are what I need. What have you got and what do you want?

I have any projectile you want... nothing heavier than 80 grain

 

[Retired MSG]

62 grain seem to be best for the Mini14

 

[Varmint]

No 62 grain fmj... 55 grainers.
I have 60 grain nosler partitions that will drop a deer in its tracks with a well placed shot.

let me see what I have in factory ammunition...do you know your twist rate?

 

[Varmint]

I might have some green tip I don’t remember what I got rid of...they were definitely a plinking round...3” groups at 100 yards. All of my 223’s are bolt guns. I have a Winchester heavy varmint that will shoot 1” groups at 300 yards with my handloads...truth...we will shoot some day

 

[Retired MSG]

1-9 twist rate

I don’t watch the prices sgt...I work 14 hour days ... I have 500 round boxes of 55 grain fmj..,what are they worth ? Idk
