Roughly 1.85 million pieces of brass.





.223 = 77.5 cases per pound.





77.5* 23,870=1,849,925

Somebody in Tennessee needs to buy this, make some money on this and drive the price of brass back down. I swear it has doubled in the last month.

Even though it went for almost 40k you could still make some change on this. I am watching this stuff like a hawk and have trended the prices for a year. It is almost time to buy a shit ton of brass!!

just for fun lets say one person bought it for reloading. well say me . (I wish) lets say out of the APR 1,850,000 pec of brass. out of that 10k aren't
reloadabul (someone can have it for scrap or to make 300BL) If I was to buy enought componets to reload 1,840,000 rounds here is the brake down.

1,840,000 Nosler Bullet 224 69gr Hpbt Match Projectials = $432,016.00

1,840,000 CCI Small Rifle Primers #400 = $64,400.00

6,840lb of Hodgdon Varget = $170,931.00

so not encluding the cost of the brass and getting it home the cost of the media to tumble it that is  $667,347.00 in componets.

If you buy something like that know that the majority of it is nothing more than scrap metal, between the blanks and the SAW brass.

okay here is a nother funny one. say you were to reload 4 hours a night after work 5 days aweek and had a progressive press and could kick out 100 rounds an hour thats

400 rounds a night,
2,000 rounds a week,
6,000 rounds a month,
312,000 rounds a year.

at that rate it would take you 17 years to reload all 1,840,000 rounds.
