    Reloadable brass

    Got somebody offering me some reloadable brass. How do I know if it is reloadable? Headstamp? How would I know if it is not reloadable?

    I don't reload, but if is a decent price, I wouldn't mind passing it on to somebody that could use it.

    Do you guys reload, or is it just easier to buy bulk?

    I don't get to shoot much, so I just buy ammo when it is cheap. I can't remember spending more than $15 on a box of 50.

    Can anyone tell me what an average price for brass is?

    The ones you want have a single hole inside, not two

    Problem is, determining if the brass is only fired once or shot out, trimmed out junk someone is getting rid of. Close up photos may tell you something.

    Western Cartridge Company

    They made a lot of military ammo in the 60-70s, and Korean war if I recall.
