Approximate value of once fired Lake City 308 brass

[SeaSteve]

Hey guys, getting so much information out of the forum - thank you all.

Got a current market pricing question on components:

What would you guys say a fair price would be for once fired, Lake City Match 7.62 X 51 brass?

I'd pay more if it wasnt fired in a machine gun - a case fired in a machine gun like an M60 makes it that much harder to get the cases back into spec due to the large chamber dimensions.

IIRC we used to pay 15-25 cents a piece around 8-9 years ago. being fired from a machine gun or not makes a difference too

1,000X this!

This is the reason I wound up getting an annealer!

It’s worth exactly what someone is willing to pay for it.

Just out side the gates in Camp Pendelton CA, about 1/2 cent per round.

Portland, OR maybe a wee bit more.

At the last gun show about 10-12 dollars a bag of 100 cleaned and de-capped.

YMMV
