What's the going price for fired 50 BMG cases.

I picked up a few at the Gunhow today for $2.00 each. Seemed a little pricey but I needed a couple to convert to 12 FH with a different kind of rim than I'm using now.

Looks like this will work if I don't shoot my eye out, so I need to get more.

You can find them for as low as .45 for once fired out of a MaDuce or around 1.00 fired out of Barret or bolt. You can get a lot of waste from the surplus if the gun was not headspaced correctly.

I have seen them go for between .50 and $1.00 each depending on brand and condition. I would think that $2.00 each is a bit high. I have seen new primed .50BMG brass go for between $1.75 and $2.00 each. Like Faret said, check Gunbroker and you should be able to find some for a reasonable price.
