I am sure this has been covered here somewhere before that I haven't dug deep enough to find, but I've been searching around for used, once firedish, brass. I ordered in such bulk last time that from policing and reuse I really haven't had to order in a couple years actually. I've looked around and seen the prices online mostly, I guess my question is who has the better shipping rates, most timely shipping, and quality for a bulk order of brass? Gonna be ordering a plethora of handgun calibers. Most of my magnum cases I order from Starline and use them for their lifespan so nothing real special, 9mm, 45ACP, 38 special, 380, etc.
Best Used Brass Supplier?

I’m on MeWe app. There is a number of brass groups there I horse trade and buy sale a lot of brass in the groups. There are a good bit of people doing the same and some have large amounts for sale.

Yes sir. I know he has 9mm and .40 for sure, the others you’d have to call and ask. His prices are fair, not earth shattering great

Hey, fair is all I ask for, everybody has to make a dollar somewhere, and I'm much more obliged to go spend my money to support someone local at a little higher price than buying online.

IIRC, 9mm is $125/5 gallon bucket. Might be the same for .40, been a while since I’ve gotten a 40 bucket.

I've never bought in gallons, any idea what the estimated brass count is for 5 gallons? Or per gallon? If I went in the basement and gathered into containers I could guess I suppose.

Filled to the part where the wire attaches to the bucket is about 8k. Filled to the very top is close to 9k
If you are in the Raleigh area, I have a 5 gallon bucket of deprimed 45acp I could sell. I have about 1000 pieces of nickel plated 40 to get rid of, also.

So, what is the price for a 5 gallon bucket of deprimed 45acp?

Go ahead and weigh it out. I waiting to hear back from Rock Island Armory whether or not they are going to replace my barrel due to pitting as that will dictate how much I have to spend.

I did order some of my brass that I didn't source locally from Arm or Ally. Overall decent experience I guess, but the order took them 7 days to process and then another 3-4 to have it shipped to me, in this day and time, with most ordering I do, bullets, brass, dies, presses, whatever, 10-11 days is a bit on the way high end of wait time. Also got a much larger quantity of 380 in the 9mm brass I ordered than I would expect for a supplier of this sort, I'm talking probably at least 5% of the brass I got, their sorting, quality control, and shipping department could all use some work.

Gonna have to agree, I've ordered from him before and don't know why I didn't think to again. That's probably what I'm comparing my processing and shipping times too. He's quite expedient to say the least.
I think it's funny I buy all my brass on Etsy the artsy fartsy web site.

Insert title here:
2nd for Wes Sage. He now has a forum after several facebook bans on the group page he used to post specials to. I've purchased around 10k 9mm xtreme bundles from him, get 1000 bullets and cleaned brass for $116 shipped....or if you got the boolits already get a box of 5000 unprocessed for 115shipped
I got some from Precision Once Fired. Shipped the next day. Shipping was kinda high, but even with it the buy 2k get one free made it the cheapest but a good margin. Not processed at all, but not horribly dirty.
I've run 1000 so far, maybe 6 .380, two Berdan primed, otherwise the same terrible mix of headstamps one finds at any public range, probably half domestic, half cbc/Aguila/s&b etc.
