My shooting buddy and brother dropped off the mother load of 9mm brass. We shoot mainly 9mm and since we got into reloading a couple months ago only have 3-4,000 pieces of brass.

Well that just changed when they dropped off 304.5 lbs of brass all 9mm.

My poor little tumbler is severely undersided at 500 at a time.

I need to get the rest of the stuff to cast with and get cracking

Once I get it tumbled and any crimped cases sort out I figured I would put up some flat rate boxes in pay it forward for sure!

Might try and trade some for .40S&W since that is what my friend shoots also.

That is a heap of brass. Heck, I am happy having about 2500 cases for my 9mm.

You do know it is going to take a bunch of lead to load all those cases..........

I lot of brass.

625 lbs. of lead ought to be enough for boolits. At 4.5 gr. of Unique, 23 pounds should cover it.

I've got 1,500lbs of lead:) Just need a few more items to get the casting process started!

Finding 23 lens of Unique around here will be a challenge. Only sitting on 3+ lbs and 2 lbs of Blue Dot.

Lol. I put 8# of h335 on backorder with midsouth last feb. I just got it 2 weeks ago. Better check with a gun show etc. Good luck. At the right price I would certainly be interested in some 9mm.

That's a good bud and a ton of brass. Red dot at 3.8-4gr will save you a few $$. Now you will be buying primers by the pallet-eek!
