    Spent brass prices in the UK

    Afternoon all,

    I have a massive surplus of once fired spent brass now

    Partizan .303, .30-06 and GGG 7.62x51mm

    Is this saleable in the UKicon?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    I should think there will be a clamour over the .303 at least, there would be here. It's brass, shouldn't even be a problem.

    John, new unprimed PPU .303 cases are circa £44/100 from dealers like Kranks.

    Once fired brass you often see at £10 to £15/100.

    It's decent enough stuff for reloading so I'm sure you'd get some interest if you asked around some of the UKicon forums.

    Ever thought of loading your own?

    Cheers Kev,

    At present I just don't have the room, I'm in the process of restoring a fairly big old place and the large barrel vaulted stone cellar will be my man cave/bunker/gun room ... space to reload then!

    Right then, not currently a member of any UKicon Shooting forums, perhaps I will try Gunstar?

    Have you thought about having your brass reloaded into new ammo?

    Target Master will reload your own supplied brass into match grade ammo for 80 quid which isn't that much more than factory PPU cost.

    See here:

    They'd probably do the 30-06 as well
