I've paid as much as $40 / 100 for them. So around 40 cents a piece ... but that's still a little high.

I pay about 7-to-10 cents each.....last batch was 1000 @ $80 at a gun show, your results may vary.

I recently sold a boatload of 308 match brass for anywhere from .18 to .22 per round. If you can find match for 8 cents, buy it!!

You can buy brand new brass for .29 cents each.

Yes, but that's not MATCH brass. The NON-MATCH brass varies in wall thickness. MATCH and Long Range Brass is uniform throughout.

Also, if it doesn't say MATCH or LR on it ..... it's not MATCH it's standard M240 Machine Gun brass. In THAT case I pay 6 cents a piece for standard Lake City 7.62 bass without either the LR or Match headstamp on them.

Thank you.....I've learned something new.
