How Much Brass?

Recommended Posts

How many cases do you have for any given caliber?  The most I have that I reload for any one of them is .357 Magnum...thousands and thousands.  Like 3,500 to 4,000 of them.

I like to be prepared.  So there are a couple of less GB .308 once fired auctions today than yesterday.  A thousand cleaned, deprimed, swaged, and resized for each auction.  One guy emailed immediately and said I could double the order for x-amount more.  ;D  May have to do that.

I also have bunches and bunches of 9mm Luger/x19/NATO/Parabellum and .45acp, as the LE agencies leave them on the ground at the range.

For the oddball stuff just enough to get by.  1,000 .45 Colt and 500 .25-20WCF.

What do you guys stock?

I have about 40 rounds of winchester .308 haha... 8)

oh and 80 rounds of 9mm.  <lmao>

I feel for ya man!  I used to have ammo like that...spent a lot of time moving it from one magazine to another for something to do.  <laughs>

Way to go 392!

We could have unlimited amounts of .223 but don't reload for it.

Yet.

                                              2 3lbs coffee cans full of 9mm brass

                                              750 pieces of .308 brass

                                              500 pieces of 30-30 brass (hoping to start reloading for this soon)

It's 5.56, brother - I just counted the first bag I could get my hands on.  You could easily get another 200 into the bag I grabbed - that's just what went through the tumbler that day, so it was bagged as-is.  <thumbsup>

I'm constantly surprised at how much brass fits in a gallon size freezer baggie.

Even more so at how much loaded ammo they hold.  :o

Jon

AND...  You can squash the hell out of them, to make more room...  <laughs>  I love the Ziplock Freezers...  <thumbsup>
