Description

This lot consists of approximately 22 Lbs of empty, once-fired centerfire brass casings, identified primarily as .308 Winchester (7.62×51). The casings are intended for reloading purposes, consistent with market research indicating bulk sales of this caliber, often sourced from manufacturers such as Winchester or Lake City. The brass is presented loose within an open brown cardboard shipping box marked internally with "Priority Mail" branding. While the lot is identified by weight and caliber as .308 WIN, visual inspection suggests the potential presence of a small quantity of mixed calibers, including some large-bore pistol brass (such as .45 AUTO, based on a partially visible headstamp), which should be sorted by the buyer prior to use. All casings are inert and contain no live primers or projectiles.
Condition: The brass casings exhibit typical signs of having been fired, including varying degrees of tarnish, patina, and discoloration consistent with handling and storage. The lot is unsorted and contains mixed headstamps and varying levels of cleanliness. The casings require cleaning, sizing, and processing before being suitable for reloading. All material is inert. It is the buyer’s responsibility to ensure compliance with all local, state, and federal firearms laws. We have not function-tested this material for structural integrity or suitability for reloading.
