    Decided I Had Too Many 9mm Empties

    So last night I got on Facebook and sold 1464 of them in about 10 minutes. I still have several hundred of my own to reload. Now if I could do the same with my way too many 357 SIG cases!

    They still asking me if I have any 9mm left there. Nobody wants the 357 SIG.

    Haven't you heard.......9mm is the new 22LR in regards to plinking and price points!

    Lol, it just might be considering it's easier to find than 22lr right now...

    I still have like 500 Nickel plated 9mm, but I'm planning on reloading them. I just somehow ended up with too many.

    A couple of weeks ago I took 217 lbs. of 9mm-40cal and 223 to the salvage yard for 1.00 a pound. You can`t give the stuff away around here. Maybe things are about to change. I still have about 2,000 of each in my personal stash. Wish I could afford to load all my brass.

    He wasn't giving it away. He was selling it for scrap.

    I have more .40 waiting for reloading than any other case right now. But I go through that a lot faster than my 9mm.

    My carry gun is in 357 Sig. I have a LOT of it loaded and ready to go, and an additonial two 5 gallon buckets full of empties.

    I'm looking for some NICKLE plated for use as carry ammo.

    Would be willing to trade you something for a useful and meaningful qty of 357 Sig Nickle plated.

    Maybe some 308 Win size brass??? Or, could trade you for some cast boolits.

    I'd also suggest that if you guys aren't already members at our sister site, AmmoBrassTrader, you should be. It's all about trading brass!!!

    Do you have any gas checked about 150 grain .308" cast bullets? I have a ton of all Speer headstamped nickel plated.I really prefer powdered and gas checked, but would try some unpowdered in some .308 Win and 30.06 reduced loads.

    He probably thought he was responding to a thread over on the Cast Boolits forum. The graphics/color scheme are the same.

    I guess that would mean I'm not riffraff.

    If you are going to take anymore in for scrap I would gladly pay you $1.50lb plus shipping if you send it to me, especially the 223 I can always use those and I know a few guys that would give their left nut for cheap 223.
    Shoot and load 38/357,45acp,44mag,30-06,308,300 win mag,22-250,45-70,8x57,7.62x39,7.62x54r,223,30carbine,270,30-30,32auto,9mm,40s&w,380 and 7.62x25
