Where do you guys buy your brass from?

[Ranger Dave]

Seems like a stupid question but where do you buy your brass from? The days of Cabelas and Wholesale Sports stockings tons of brass have long since gone.

 

[Outcast]

Budget reloading supplies in Surrey

 

[Redblack]

I usually buy from the EE or at gun shows.

 

[nomad 68]

Prophet River, X-reload and the EE if there is new stuff listed reasonably( I don't buy 1x fired brass). There are many sources if one looks around. Depending on your preferred brand, Higginson's can be a good source.

 

[The Outsider]

I usually buy once fired brass at gun shows.

Where ever is cheapest unless I'm desperate. Here's my order of preference:

- Local gun range - It's dirty work but it's free
- EE - Preferably locally so I don't have to pay shipping.
- Gunshows - but I don't go to many anymore. I rather spend the $10-15 entrance fee on shipping off the EE/Retail instead and guarantee the brass I want.
- Retail - Sometimes it's already deprimed, tumbled and sized, sometimes you can get 'em a little cheaper where you have to deprime/clean/size yourself.

When I first started reloading I bought 9mm and 223 at my LGS. Now, I get free brass at my outdoor range. If the brass that I need/want is not available from the range (308, 300WM, 45-70), I purchase it off the EE.

Xreload, Tradex, Higginson, Cabela's.

For new to me calibers it's where ever I can find it. The EE is an easy choice.

Fortunately I was a hoarder for a while and mostly just have to go look in my saddle shop/reloading room for any caliber I have or have had.

Nothing like buying brass and finding 200 new brass of the same cal a week later looking for something else...

Mystic Precision. Has great selection and prices, top notch service too!!

 

[silverfoxdj]

Mostly Xreload and they ship fast

 

[kawicrash]

Ya, I miss being able to get components locally. We used to have a bunch of shops, but now, pretty much nothing, and the shipping kills.

 

[bsand]

I only buy lapua cases, rest are from my factory ammo, or range pick up.

+1. But I skip the gunshows. Never had to buy new retail yet. 7.62x54r may be my first though.

 

[Chilly807]

I bought some Winchester from the EE, it was a local deal to avoid shipping. I'm in NS, Hirsch Precision is about 20 mins from work so I buy from Peter when it makes sense to. Lapua brass is nice stuff!

 

[Deathrawt]

I agree, and if they don't have the brass your looking for they will get it for you

 

[r204]

Hirsch or x-reload , I only use Lapua brass now.

 

[FLHTCUI]

I used to buy what I needed from WSS, but they closed up shop.
Now it would be through the EE.

[Magellann]

Ive bought some at gun shows, mostly I reuse my factory brass, or whatever I pick up at the range.
