Seeking bullet casings

I know several of you guys shoot, and I've got a new collection going of bullet casings, cartridges and the bullets themselves. In the end I kind of want to have dummy cartidges of as many rounds and loads as possible. I'm going to be picking up a whole lot of bullets and casings from my friend's old reloading stuff.

I don't really know what a casing is worth to anyone interested besides the weight for shipping, so offer what you think.

So far I've got:

(Live/Complete Dummys)
25mm dummy round
7mm Magnum live round
7.62x39mm live round

(Casings)
20mm
.270
30-30
.38 Special
.40 S&W
9mmx19 (x2)
.22LR

(Bullets)
.308 (x3)
.45

I have to say that .45 has a huge slug.

So anything you've got I'll take one to three of. Except .38 Special, I'll probably end up getting a brick of reload casings.

Dude,
I just threw out 2 boxes of .30 cal brass casings last weekend. :shock:
If I had known, I would have sent them to you...

Next time I go shooting, I'll save the Yugo 8mm brass if you want some and the little boxes too(Ex-Mil rounds), and I got some Bulgarian 7.62mm Mosin also if you want.

Panzer M, this would be greatly appreciated. At the moment I don't have any 8mm or any larger 7.62s lined up, so if you wouldn't mind save me a few of each. Hell, I'll even take the boxes too. :D

Razor, no worries. It happens lol. You should actually save your excess brass, and sell it to a reloader. :D A brick of casings (which is like 100 or so) runs $30-$50 and you could sell at a lower price and still recoup some money, and not just throw it away. I applied the same concept to collecting cans, and we've already come up with close to 60 lbs.

Let me look into what it takes to ship live ammo. I have a little cardboard sleeve which contains two ten round "stripper clips" of .30 carbine ammo. They're kinda cool. And handy if you ever pick up a .30 carbine, which by the way, I recommend. They're just fun guns. I'll see what I can find out, and let you know.

I'd be interested in that as well, let me know what you find out. 8)

Any updates? If you have some you could send me please PM me. I can pay whatever you think is reasonable. Live rounds are fine, I have a tool to remove the bullet safely, and I salvage the gunpowder and pop the primer. Like I said, I'm really just looking for a couple of each, but if you have a whole bunch sitting around, I'll take them. Also, If you have magazines for weapons you don't have anymore, I may be interested in those.

It's my latest collection now, seeing as 32X is all but dry, and soda can tabs got boring, this is a new pursuit. =P

:shock: Me? Do such things? Never...

But no that list is what I have currently. .22LR is easy to come across for me. Walk down the road and you find .22 =P

But surely I could make some sort of art with all those casings... I like that idea. I'm interested, oddly. PM me more information. =P

May.3 is my next outing to the range, so I should have some stuff for you then.

Sounds good Panzer, I'm still seeking them so whatever you've got I'll go for. What do you think it will cost to ship them? I'll take quite a few, no specific number but anywhere from 5-10 of each caliber/load. I'm sure with them being brass and in quantity it won't be too cheap, but they don't need a big box, which is a plus.

When you can let me know in a PM what you have and we'll negotiate quantities and such.
