I'm looking for prettymuch anything for 45acp

Lots of 45ACP bullets and brass is available here in Spokane at the moment. Expect it will be gone by the weekend. WLP and CCI primers as well. Just arrived this week. Give me an idea of quantities you want. I will add some margin, but I won't guage you. A large Priority box would cost less than $20 to ship.

All I need is a pix of your CCL, or Military ID, or Militia ID.

Curious, what's the going price for brass? I have some (not a ton, but some) I haven't used...

New Winchester 45ACP brass $28.95 per hundred plus WA ST Tax. That's what I have been paying lately. Seems to be available intermittently of late. Similar price for good bullets.

The only way to get this stuff these days is hit all the gun shops ever 2 or 3 days to see what comes in. Snooze and you lose. 22lr has been scarce. Did grab 4 bricks last week. Several cases gone in about 4 days.

I have lots of reloading goods for trade for .223 brass and WSR primers. Haven't seen any of those since before Christmas.

I do not expect prices to move much before next summer, with potential to get worse. You know Bama and his minions are going for the gusto on gun bans and I wouldn't put it past them to stage another false flag event to push the point. They get lots of mileage out of a few dozen dead innocents. Then see what the new prices are.

Hadn't considered buying new -- was thinking of reloading.

But man, that's expensive. Sounds like it'd come out to be more expensive than just buying new...

last brass i bought for 45acp once fired was $150 for 2500 that was a couple weeks ago

Hmmm, okay. I just have a few pounds of brass -- was sort of curious if there was any value in it...

Yes, buy new ammo, IF YOU CAN FIND IT. The cheap plinking stuff is way overpriced. The good purpose designed ammo is available for a price not a whole bunch more than the designed to be cheap stuff that is not cheap anymore. Reloading components are inflated as well but still available with rigorous searching.

I've been watching for small rifle primers for a month or so. Finally found one brick Monday. Another half brick limit for 500 more. Twice the price from last year before the bubble. So I got 1500. I need at least 10,000. I got a bunch of goods on backorders.

Reloading is the future. None of the ammo manufactures are investing in higher production rates to address the bubble as yet. It means ammo on the shelves will be in short supply for a long time for the most desired calibers.

I see nothing on the horizon to pop the bubble. Prices will not be dropping unless and until the manufacturers invest in more production equipment to increase supply substantially.

I've got about 150 of once fired, mixed brand. Honestly don't know if it's worth either of our time, as I live in Puyallup. I'd be more interested in .223 bullets, preferably in 55-60 gr weight, than money..

You're in Puyallup now? I thought you were in Kirkland?

Whoops.. Forgot I had posted on here. Yeah, in Puyallup now.

No biggie. Just was confused (nothing new).

I didn't know brass was so inexpensive. I think I'll keep what I have. After cleaning and de-priming, I'm trying to figure out how any money could be made on it...

If you go to the WAC shows, just tape a sign to your back. I'd be surprised if you didn't sell it.
