    Once fired 308 brass - fair pricing?

    Hey folks - I've been offered some once fired mixed reloadable 308 brass, and neither of us know what it's worth. He's not fussed but I'd like to give him a reasonable amount. Given it's standard reloadable brass in good condition, what does the group think is a reasonable price/piece of brass?

    To your 1st question: my thoughts 25 -50 cents/case.

    Generally it's about half the cost of the ammo, so being once fired 50 cents is fair, also depends on brands as Norma and Lapua are more expensive than the likes of say Winchester.

    I would take the brass, thanking you kind sir politely. Then pass some venison his way next time your passing that way.

    I'm a bit of a Lapua snob myself. If for some reason i felt a burning need to work with PPU or federal brass again then you can normally find that free at the range. I guess it is fun but i could never get that stuff upto par no matter how hard i tried

    20 to 25c a piece. This could be ppu or seller and bellot with federal thrown in. I wouldn't bet it has lapua stamps on it

    Ppu and seller, winchester, hornady are all good brass, federal is rubbish and not worth buggering about with.
