Not an answer, but you should :)

Emigrate/immigrate?

I'd be in for a partial share of one of those barrels.

Yes.

I mean, it depends on what you are looking for, but I like my country, and think there are opportunities here you can't get anywhere else.

Absolutely. I'm just trying to figure out how (to immigrate). =)

Well, 500lbs of brass is 35-50,000 for each of those calibers.  I'd like at least 10k of each...(9/40/5.56/7.62), so put me down for 1/5th of the total

How much would this be? I'd be willing to PAY for a chunk of your brass in exchange for an eventual delivery of a smaller amount of loaded FMJ.

How much brass would i need to pay for to be worth , say, 2000 rounds of both 9mm and 5.56?

Infinity, unfortunately.  Even with a progressive, you are looking at a minimum of 4-8hrs of work...I'm looking at the brass as basically my own personal "inexhaustible supply"...not to immediately reload.

Alright, I'll bid on the stuff and likely rent a Penske truck to collect if I win the auction. Costs on that will be probably around $100-200, with fuel being another $50. So total should be under $450 at the cheapest. Ish. I'm also looking into a shipping company that can do the leg work for me, if they're cheap enough, I'll go with them to save me hassle. Essentially "pricing" will be unknown but theoretically yielding about 150,000 brass. Or $0.003 per piece of brass. Mind you, drum weight and ammo cans are included in weight. Ammo cans are mine, obviously.

If and when I get the brass, we can argue about who gets what and what cost.

Theoretically, the melt value is about $4k. ;)

Put me down for a 2,000-3,000 5.56mm.
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

I'd be open to a few thousand 5.56, 7.62 and 9mm depending on cost.  Good luck!

Then I would imagine it will go for $1500-2000.  Considering there are scrap yards that will pay 50-75% of melt, and a truck is cheap.

In any case, say its $500 per barrel, its still on the order of <$0.01/case, which makes it reasonable.

I would say don't bid it over $1600 for a barrel each of the big 4, ($400/barrel), and go from there.

If you really want to make money off it, get yourself a harvey deprimer, a few Netflix movies, and deprime the brass...while doing a quick visual insoection, and then sell it as sorted, deprimed, once fired brass.  Get a power primer pocket cutter and cut the crimps out, and then you would be really good.  You'd easily make back any investment.

I will take 10k of all 4 calibers (9/40/5.56/7.62)

Show me how to do it, allow me access to your stuff?

Possible.  Or if you have the time, I can teach you and fund a setup in exchange for completed ammo.  Or at least split some of the prep work inexchange for tooling :)

I might have a handheld Lee press I can send Fitz' way if he wants to just learn the basics. 

Rev,  let us know what your high bid limit would be, and what you need for front money. 

I have a pickup that would be available, albeit in Wisconsin.   =|

I would be *very* interested in a chunk of the 5.56 brass...   Maybe around 3k pieces?

I'm in for several hundred dollars worth, mostly of the 7.62.

I'd assume it was x51, since I doubt the PA folks are shooting Mosins.  :laugh:
