9mm Brass wanted (Maybe)

[ovenpaa]

I am just in the process of looking at forming jacketed bullets from 9mm brass cases. The thing is I am going to need a few thousand of the things, make is not important.

So just sounding things out at the moment, has anyone got any 9mm brass and if so what would the going rate be?

[Dangermouse]

I have them, will give to you when I next see you.

[dodgyrog]

I'm sure it has been done before but I can't remember where I read it.

[ovenpaa]

DM - many thanks.

[Dangermouse]

Actually...

Now that I think about it, most of mine are nickel (?), probably not what you want.

Ah, nickel is not going to be good, they need to be brass. I had a bit of a hunt in the workshop last night and found around 20 so ideally I need a couple more thousand still although even a few hundred would be a start.

[Dangermouse]

Does it have to be 9mm?

If you get stuck I have a few thousand.
Most once fired all batched by head stamp.
There are many threads on castboolits about swaging 9mm to make jacketed bullets.
I think the chap is called BTSNIPER who makes dies to do this.

Dave, most of those shooting LR9s at Bisley seem to just leave their brass lying around and its there for the picking up but that's probably not very helpful.

With my tongue, firmly in my cheek, have you asked your local police force?
