    Hi Guys,

    I know a lot of you throw out your once-fired.

    If any of you have some once-fired centre-fire brass that your looking rid of I'd be happy to take it off you for re-loading.

    I have a particular interest in .223, .270, .243 & .308

    Cheers.

    (I know I'm not offering money, but if you ever need a favour in exchange...)

    Ach any decent amount. I'm not badly off for brass, but I was down at MNSCI with NorwayViking and I couldn't believe the bins were full of brass! :eek:

    No brass is brass to me.
    Hornady/frontier is good stuff but i'm not really a reloading snob. I use mostly PPU/PRVI in my .270 and I recently got Winchester brass which wouldn't be considered especially good...

    I have ~140 American Eagle brass if it is any good to you.
    Have hornady but will hang onto that just incase something changes in the near future ;)

    Even if you just get 2-3 reloads out of it, it is still 280 - 420 shots

    all american eagle brass have the primers crimped in which realy doesnt suit reloading it can break your primer extracter pin and the primer pockets are normaly to tight afterwords even after a good going over with a primer pocket reamer i think all federal ammo is the same.
