I've been looking... and looking... and looking.

Seems given the times that I cant find any decent brass anymore for .45acp. A year ago 100 casings of 45 deprimed, inspected, and polished was $9....

ugh :sadcry:

All sold out in my neck of the woods too.
You might have to start chasing down brass at the range.

Wish my range let me even look at the brass haha, I go to grab the broom and I get the stink eye... And I don't even want it! Always try to refill my cases as I shoot.

When I used to shoot at at West Allis Shooters Shop, I finished every range session by sifting through the brass buckets for a few minutes. Never asked, and never got hassled.
If they don't have a policy against it, I see no reason you can't.

Yeah just give up for now. We have ammo to get us thru about a month and none in sight to re up. That goes for reloaders supplies everything from what I'm hearing from very connected people

If I blast away at some paper this weekend with my G21 or HK45 I'll send you the brass :) I stocked up years ago and haven't had the time to get into reloading yet due to work.

Sticks for brass!? : D
BRB headed to the range! :D Tomorrow actually. Just want .45 ACP brass or 9mm & .40S&W too? I had Bruce Gray rework both of my HK P30s over Christmas and haven't had time to check out his work until now. I hear it's like having God make sweet sweet love to your guns down by the fire.

HK 45 and P30s sounds like a fun range trip! Those 45s are such nail drivers for me!

PM me your address and i'll ship off what I have of .45 brass. Also our dept quals are coming up this spring (and we use .45) so i'll grab all the brass that I can and send it your way. Usually we toss it in the trash so i'd rather it go to someone who can use it.

I'm new to botl, but I was browsing the threads and love my guns and stumbled upon this one. I try and shoot every other day after work just for fun at my outdoor range. With that being said I can keep my brass without getting yelled at lol. I keep my range clean and have been picking up my shells and bagging them thinking I would eventually start reloading, but haven't had the time.

If anyone needs any brass just let me know, I have plenty of 5.56 and .223 casings (they are seperated, I know that they have a minute size difference) I also have plenty of 9mm casings some .45's and .38 special.

Today was the first time since december i walked into our local shop to see .223 actually stocked on the wall.
...it looks like we may have survived the scare of 2013!
