Only $2 each for once fired 308 cases, too. Gee, what a deal! Only 50x what they are worth.

I'm not sure what you're speaking of, Titan has 9mm for 19.75 for 250.

Works out to about 8 cents a round before shipping.

And the .308 is about 0.22 per case, you may need a better calculator.

$54.25 for 250 before shipping.

Sure has been some Titan Reloading bashing going on this week by guys with low post counts who don't seem to come back and make their point or apologize for the comments.

Maybe the guy made and honest mistake. Maybe he is not too bright and cannot do math (Bush's fault?)

I hope the moderators track guys like that and, if they prove to be trolls, get them banned from the site.

Well could be a troll, but on the bright side for Titan reloading, it did get the real prices out there and talked about.
What is the saying "any press is good press"?

Wait, what is this guy talking about? His title says used brass, but he is going on about new ammo?


Once fired brass, 9mm
Take 19.75 and 250.
Divide 19.75 by 250 and you get 7.9 cents a round
Divide 250 by 19.75 and you get 12.65 a round.

This guy can't even screw up math right.

Reading his other posts, I have come across several other things that aren't true. Caveat emptor.

Yes indeed.

Too many reputable places available in order to avoid questionable prices. For example: http://shop.southernbellebrass.com/c-16-9mm.aspx

$55 for 1,000 9mm. I've found cheaper, but SBB has always dealt fairly with me.

Is this the same guy that wants to buy gear and start a commercial bullet making operation and insists you can do it without a license?

Yes it is.

Correct orders and fast shipping is worth a great deal. I've bought several boxes of boolits from Hunters Supply to try out new weights and styles. There are cheaper ones out there but once when Hunters Supply got an order wrong I sent them an email and got a phone call less than an hour later from them. They told me to keep the boolits they sent and sent the correct ones no charge.
Customer service like that is what keeps us loyal even if they do raise their prices a little.

Truer words have seldom been spoken! I keep telling a buddy of mine this exactly, but he keeps buying the absolute cheapest of everything he can find. He's seldom pleased with what he acquires but keeps doing it anyway.

And I agree, Hunters Supply is one of the good ones.

Idk 8 cents a round does seem a little high to me. just ordered 2.5k the other day at 2.5 cents a round shipped to my door.

I use one of many posters on this site and other sites who advertise their Brass (range pickup or other) and pay way less than 8 cents per.

I just paid $90 for 2,000 9mm cases to Dukeinmaine which calculates to 4.5 cents per case. I don't know how many times this brass was loaded. It seems a fair price to me. He still has another box of 2,000 for sale in Swappin and Sellin.

As for Titan, I purchased some reloading equipment from them once. They are fast and fair.

Midway doesn't have once-fired 9mm brass for sale at this time but for comparison they want $59.99 for 500 40 SW once-fired brass. Titan wants $18.25 for 250 or $36.50 for 500 once-fired 40 SW brass. That should put things onto perspective.

My son and I still have about 100,000 9mm mil crimped in primer - guaranteed once fired - cases. 3K shipped for $120.
