Here is the situation: I have an agreement to process (clean, resize, trim, remove crimp, etc.) .308, .30-06, and .30 Carbine once-fired brass coming off of a large New York range. I get to keep a percentage of the brass for my labors and send the rest on to the guy who has the contract with the range and sends it to me. He then reloads his brass by running it thru his progessive reloader. I take zero shortcuts in processing this brass and use only the best equipment. Crimped primer pockets are swaged using a Dillon Super Swage 600. Both .308 and .30-06 brass are resized using Redding Competition Die Sets and the case headspace is checked with a RCBS Precision Mic. The .30 Carbine brass mouths are belled using a Lyman Type M die. I am curious as to whether there is much of a market for fully processed or semi-processed (and to what degree if semi-processed) brass for the 3 cartridges listed above? Also, what headstamps are your favorites, and what ones do you like to avoid? I am not going to low-ball this brass, and it will be sold tumbled clean at a bare minimum. Also, since this brass is coming from a NY range, you are assured that the 7.62x51 (.308) once-fired brass has been fired out a rifle and not a machine gun. Your thoughts and comments are appreciated. Thanks.
