I know, I dont see the allure for few pennies. I got into this just months before covid hit. What would the usual difference between steel and brass be, roughly?

I'd obviously welcome that with open arms, but what makes you so optimistic we'll see 15 cents again? Just curious. Seems like a departure from the slow, albeit stead drop we've been seeing.

Things are moving that's for sure!

a dime?

On the plus side; Someday that brass will be worth more than a few pennies because reloading will be the only way to own bulk ammo that is not heavily taxed or restricted.

I do dearly hope not though...

Right now, inflation is the biggest hurdle in the price of ammunition. All the new, panic buyers have the 2 boxes they wanted (and still think that's too much for one person to own)
The cost of; lead/copper/powder/primers/brass plus the man-hours and energy to produce/box/ship it, is what we are paying for now.

When gas goes back under $2 bucks a gallon, we may see .20 cent 9mm again... maybe.

I thought that steel was dirtier than brass...I'm thinking the only steel I ever used was really dirty.

 

[headednorth]

Reloadability and steel on brass vs steel on steel? Steel/brass the wear is happening to the brass. Steel/steel the internals of the gun are experiencing more wear?

 

[enbloc]

I thought that steel was dirtier than brass...I'm thinking the only steel I ever used was really dirty.

Most of the steel ammo is Eastern European (Com-bloc or Ex-Com-Bloc)) and their powders/primers aren't as "smokeless" as Western offerings.

That said, I don't mind "dirty" ammo, if it's accurate/consistent. Plus, it can provide its own smokescreen in defensive situations...

That's the general argument, but frankly, the wear from steel is thousands of rounds down the road.

Lol no I just forget how pricy factory 44 mag ammo is

Try pricing 500 S&W ammo..

And some Remy UMC .44 magnum...

Remington UMC 44 Remington Magnum Ammo 180 Grain JSP

this ammo makes an insanely loud boom and flash from my 629. the powder must be slow burning. In the Henry carbine the velocities were absurdly high. Damn 44 mag is one of the best cartridges ever.

 

[enbloc]

Yeah, I'm building up some brass reloading supplies. These come loaded, which makes it more acceptable... for now.

I had picked up some PPU a while back, but have heard about the wall thickness being iffy for reloads.

I thought you were saying that you did not like this Remy load.

Nice. Yeah I had issues with the PPU brass but maybe I had a bad lot.
The Remington 44 mag ammo is loaded WARM. Definitely not a weak load lol. Good stuff.

Agreed. 357 and 44 mag are probably my favorites.

Got my CMP working, ordered the 5000 case of Armscor 22lr 36gr HP for $405 shipped. Comes down to 8.1 cpr. Even if there's a dud here and there, I'm fine with that.

 

[headednorth]

Has anyone else had deliveries shipped in vastly oversized boxes? Just got a brick of 22 in a maybe 18" cube with some heavy paper packing material thrown in. Not complaining just sort of comical. Saw a delivery made the day before yesterday and thought "What did I order?" because the box was so huge. Same size difference today. Supply issues so theyre using whatever they can get their hands on?
