Where is the cheapest place you guys have been able to find .223 brass? Just for cheap plinking ammo so once fired is fine.

Best price I have found thus far is $130 for 1000 Atlanta Arms cases and those are sold out

Is that a decent price? Open to suggestions, going to load up a pile of .223 over the winter so I want to find some good deals on .223 brass and components.

Thanks in Advance.

I have lots of IVI/Rem mixed 5.56 brass in stock. It's been polished & looks really nice. $120.00/1000

Please check out my website.

Just go to a range that has just held a 3 gun match, it will be laying all over, the younger generation that competes these days doesn't reuse their brass as often as those of us that competed 30-40 years ago. You can't get any better than free brass, plus you earn bonus points with the club for helping clean up.
 
Or find a range that your local LEO's or Prison guards use for "carbine training". It will be crimped primer stuff but free and lots of it, last time ( and only time I needed too) I picked 1 1/2 5 gallon pails with 1/2 hr work.

If you buy a few thousand rounds of IVI and process all of it, then sort into lots by weight, you can get hundreds of rounds that are all within 0.1 grains.

Just sort into groups like that and it is poor mans match ammo. For the price of 100 Lapua cases you get 1000.

If you buy once fired IVI, be prepared to size it twice. Once in a regular sizing die, then again in a small base die.

They are too random to run through just a regular sizing die.

Once you do this, then go to your regular sizing process after you start firing them off in your own rifle.
