Brass to trade
It's not much but I have 32 once fired brass (condition shiney) for a 300 Win Mag. willing to trade for 35 Rem brass, not sure if its worth the postage? looked online and 300 Mag is worth .80ea not sure what 35 is worth but I'm not real worried about a dead even trade, just tradin something I can't use for something I can.

Are you sure that 300 Win Mag fired brass is $0.80 each? That seems awful high... it has been a while since I bought 300WM brass, a couple years... paid $16 for 50 pcs of new Winchester brass. bewildered

Ok, I just checked Cabela's site, and you are correct, the price for new brass is about $75/100... damn, I am sitting on a gold mine!!! I never thought I would see my reloading components out-perform my 401K!!! faint

Midways has a price on once-fired .308 WCF brass at 31 cents per case. So you've got about $10.00 worth of brass. Postage would be, what, $5.00? I don't think it would be worth your while.

I will look tomorrow, I think I have 20 collecting dust. My dad has a 35, but he is the type that one box will last him ten years. I saved the brass the last time I shot it thinking I would reload for him. Really don't see me needing them. If I have them I would be interested in your trade, as I do shoot 300win.

well if you come across some from a friend let me know even if you come close, I'm not very picky about an even swap, A box lasts me a while too but if I had more I'd shoot more.

Cub,
Just a thought but have you put up a 3x5 index card at your range advertising the trade?
No postage involved-heck, you might even get someone interested in giving you cash-I would but them off of you for the right price if you were at my range.
just sayin'

I haven't really tryed locally it's not an emergency to get rid of it, just unpacked the reloading stuff from over 20some years ago, I own a gravel pit that friends drop by to shoot, I tell them to leave the brass and my son and I clean up on Sunday afternoon's... been collecting for years.... local club is over crowded and full of know-it-all's. every now and then we drag an old retired school bus into the pit and friends in the local swat and sheriff deputies will unload several hundred rounds for training.......training for what I don't know but the ground is gleeming the next day...to me it looks like gold
