    Well 8 months later and it is not uncommon to find SPP and SRP primers for $50 per 1000 and with free hazmat. My hope is that large rifle primers follow the same pattern. Currently they are $100+ per...

    weird year

    It's been a strange year! I can't complain. I've been to as many estate sales as I have range days. Looking back, the weather has been not... good? Raining or hot as hell. Past years were just plain...

    I don't always wet tumble all brass. When I come across brass that I feel someone might want I pick it up, wether I have a shell holder for it or not. So my trades are mixed. When I list brass for...

    Paid 62.99 myself for the SA primers. Bought 2k to begin with. Liked them so much I ordered another 3k. Nice on the new Marlin 27S. Did you get the round or octagon barrel?

    Well there was a panic pandemic, I think we are slowly returning to "normal". Us mere mortals that get brass from public ranges are just starting to see average shooters coming back the range. I used...

    I've been a casting fool. I went through the last lead score I came across. Now I'm sizing and lubing like crazy. Next up is reloading some 9mm and 45acp.

    Reloaded some 9mm recently with Aguila small pistol primers. My first experience with this brand. Really tight fitting! CBC primer pockets were really a challenge with these primers. I tried running...

    Time to straighten up my workbench. As my work area gets smaller and smaller. Clutter grows. I'll put that away later... It's time. Time to cast replacements for what I shot over the summer also.

    Just an observation. As I reload for 9mm today, I was thinking... For over 40 years that I've been reloading, I only just started reloading 9mm in the past few years. I got pushed into it by the...

    If your rifle is marked as 5.56, you can shoot either 223 or 5.56. If your rifle is marked as 223 then you should only shoot 223. 5.56 is a hotter round and should not be used in a 223 rifle.

    I might have been misunderstood. Here on this brass trading site, I would say that most, if not all here are interested in milsurp firearms. All of us reload and quite often for firearms where ammo...
