I have about 5 gallons of various commercial brass (.223, 30-30, 243, 30-06, 270, 7mag, 300 WSM ect) that I wont ever load for. I know the price of stuff keeps going up and up and i figured I should sell it and use the money for something I need.

whats going to be the best way to sell it?

I tumbled it all clean and split it up into caliber lots, I guess i could divide it up into specific manufactures as well but the lots wouldnt be as big.

Whats a good place to sell it?

I also have small lots of stuff like 300 savage, 280 remington, 303 british and 35 remington.

Separate each caliber by brand (Win, Fed, RP, etc) and if you have enough, say 100, 500 or 1,000 bag them and put them up for sale here on the "classifieds" or some place like gunbroker.com.

If you do a search on gunbroker you can get an idea of how much they go for.

Stick with quality name brand brass as that is what will be in demand.

I was hopeing to find an outlet that I could sell the whole lot to. time is money, ya know. and spending a half day sorting thru reading headstamps puts me in the red even if i sell the brass at a retail price.

Why not sort by caliber, and sell it as assorted headstamps.

Is the .303 Brit reloadable?  How many pieces?  I may be interested.  :cool:

The USPS has a flat-rate shipping box.

I'd be interested in the .30-06, .243 and .30-30 for the right price. It can be shipped in a flat rate container through the post office.
