I'm a little surprised the price of 223 brass is getting!

I have been looking for 8mm reloadable cartridges and reloadable brass. Where can I find some?

Probably should start your own thread rather than hiding it here. What 8mm cartridge?

The price of copper on the metals market is starting to come down some. The manufacturing in some countries is at a lull and the demand is not as great. I have yet to see it reflected in the cartridge brass market. But it may happen.

Seems the more obscure, the more expensive it is. With supply chain issues, etc. I suppose thats to be expected.

I've seen 223 brass priced in the 35 to 40 cents each range BUT many don't have it in stock.

I've got a bunch of 222 Rem MAG and you should look at the prices of THAT!!

Nosler is offering some 8x57 brass @ $3 EACH. Good stuff but I wouldn't want to lose many in the field.

I find most of my brass at the gun club. I do buy 7.62x39 brass. Last time it was 29.00 for a bag. Now i see it for 35.00. Thanks to inflation.

Ya, I pick up and keep every piece of brass I find at two different ranges. I have too much brass...

I wouldn't use Starline for anything unless it was free despite the opinion of so many people online that never push loads.

I don't load, buy, or shoot .223 REM, only 5.56X45 but loaded ammo is hovering around $.42-.45 so I find fifty cents for empty brass merely a stupid purchase.

The last batch of 5.56X45 brass I purchased to prep in bulk was $70 shipped for 1500 pieces. About 1200 of it was usable. That was back before all the silliness. It was one of the many parts of my prep plan I completed before the SHTF.
