So I finally got all my FFL, tax id’s and business licensing.

I can’t seem to locate a good commercial level brass source for NEW 5.56 brass. Lots of brass.

Any suggestions?

Are you just reselling the brass or making ammo for resale?

What distributors have you called? What brand brass are you looking for? What's a "Lot"? 100k+ per week?

Making ammo for resale, there are a few ranges and carbine courses with severe ammo issues.

I'm having a difficult time geting replies from anyone but starline, but they only do pistol brass.

I was looking at buying 3-600k cases a month.

Can't help with new brass, but those gov. Liquidation auctions might be good for once fired.
They have a lot, but don't know what prices the auctions generally end at.

A bunch of them end tomorrow. 1000 to 40,000 lbs.

I was looking at some of those auctions. have seen the smaller lots (2200 lbs) go for around $110 per thousand pieces!!
now that is all math by weight and 10% for junk. damn that stupid.

Be careful of the givliquidation auctions - some are runningthe brass through a hot popper to cook off any live rounds. Read somewhere 500F for an hour tends to ruin the brass for reloading.
