Pricing Help for 223 Brass

#1

Post by AlaskanInTexas »

So I have come into an enormous quantity of once fired 223 brass. It’s not crimped. My teenage son is very entrepreneurial and wanting to make money. I suggested that he could “buy” it from me and then deprime and wet tumble with pins. He might even sort by head stamp. Then sell locally.

I’ve looked around and what folks are selling for online but I never can tell if those are pipe dreams or market. Any thoughts on price per case for deprimed and cleaned? Premium for sorted? It would all be local F2F sales.

I know it makes little sense for you and I, but his labor is not worth much and this seems like a lower risk venture to give him some life experience.

This is a real market value, to be a competitive, he has to use a progressive press and case autofeeder.
I think, if he deprime and do a full size for the brass and SS wet wash, he can charge as much or beat the price by 1-2 cents
