Title: X39 brass
Post by: IceCat1 on July 08, 2016, 11:42:50 PM

Anyone got a line on boxer prime 7.62x39 brass at a reasonable price? I've seen some lapua for .66 cents a round. Kinda steep. Privi partizan at like .60 cents a round.  Any help would be appreciated. Thx

Are you looking for ammunition with reloadable boxer-primed brass cases, or just unfired brass. If that Lapua was actual loaded ammo that's actually a great price, and they always get high marks for the quality of their brass.

How much are you looking for? 

$0.45 per round for Prvi if you buy a case: https://www.targetsportsusa.com/prvi-partizan-762x39mm-ammo-123-gr-fmj-pp732-p-102.aspx

I am looking for unfired/once fired boxer brass for reloading. Seems cheaper to buy loaded ammo, get a brass catcher and reload that way. I will probably go berdan primed at some point if the primers are available. Deprime hydraulically.

You would think once fired would be cheap and available. If it's reasonable, I could go 500/1000 cases.

I had a source but I bought all they had...it was range pick up but mostly once fired for like 3 - 3.5 cents a piece.  If they get anymore I will let you know
