Hello all! Not sure if this is the correct place to post this but if its not plese feel free to kove it.
I have some exciting news for us, I hit the jackpot on brass yesterday and I have a few rare bits I'd like to offer first to our members......I just don't know what it's worth. If anybody can help me out I'd be happy.

Brass list as follows, all mixed headstamp.
830 32 auto
556 38 super nicklel
68 257 Roberts
438 222 rem mag
179 45 win mag
18 375 win
Not rare at all but I'd like to know a decent price.
1500 223 rem (ww super headstamp)
1200 556 (mixed headstamp)
Two buckets full of 38 special.

Any input is much appreciated!
Thank you in advance,

David.

Some of the calibers are not in that group that have a lot of demand. I've been loading since 1970 and I've never known anyone who loads 32 Auto, That's just me. The 222 mag and 257 Roberts were very popular at one time but I'm afraid the people who load these are in small numbers.
I'm not trying to discourage you but just giving you my opinion. We all know about opinions.

You may want to post the 32 in the swaging section. The can be used as jackets for 356 to 258 cal. bullets.

Thanks guys, looks like somebody already wants the 32 auto. Thanks for the replies.

I know somebody here needs 38 super, I know I have read about it on here from time to time.

It's tough to nail down "retail" prices of uncommon 'used' pistol brass.
If you find a buyer who is in need, you can almost ask any price.

FYI, I have found 32 auto at the range many times after CCL classes.
once I had over a hundred or so accumulated (obvously mixed HS), I'd post an add and ask 10¢ each or trade for something of similar value and usually get it fairly quick...same with 25 auto.
So YES, there are people loading those tiny cartridges.

I have loaded the 32 auto in the past, a bit of a PITA but it is worth it if you shoot that caliber very much, just like anything else associated with this hobby.
