Yeah I have seen the brass on government liquidation also. Some of the bases auction in smaller quantities like 1000 to 2000 pounds, usually all in the same caliber. Trouble is getting it, shipping on a crate makes it not worth it. I could deal with the crimped primers.
There is a Lady in the Cast Boolits forum selling .223 brass and such. She is going thru the cleaning process but I don't know what she is asking for it. The
thread is long but you fellas might take a gander at this thread. She might accidently have what some of you might be interested in. I don't have a .223 . good luck. WTS ? Sending a feeler out for .223 nickel plated brass - Page 3 - Cast Boolits
