.50 BMG Brass

#1 Post by Blackstuff »

Hello all,

I know the most appropriate place to ask this is FCSA but some forums are funny about you joining just to sell stuff. Anyway, my brother-in-law has acquired a fair bit of .50cal brass and I was wondering if its worth anything, rather than it just sitting on a shelf. Does anyone know if there's a market for military .50cal brass/the going rate? Probably around 100 cases.

I think he'd be looking to get shot in a job lot. The FCSA website has this make on sale for £50 per 50 but apparently they're available cheaper elsewhere.

I was always lead to believe that 50cal shooting was £5+ a shot, think I've been told porkies!

So id imagine that decent stuff is way more

Even in the USA its around $7 a round.

Linky no work

Why post prices to LIVE ammo (NOT even UK prices at that)? The thread topic is empty fired cases

Because Blackstuff commented that he was told that .50 cal shooting was £5 a round, the link above (which is UK based by the way) shows that it could easily be that much.

Ammo Zone (a UK company) sell 2009 dated for £542 for 100 rounds. Can't get the link to work but if you copy and paste the whole thing then it will.

Cheers for the info folks. I'd always been lead to believe they were like £2 a case! So I doubt he'll be selling them for what it would seem he'd get.

New Hornady and Lapua is about £4 case.
The expense comes from the projectiles £2 - £4.50 each
Then 230 ish grains of powder.
Primers are about £.50p each
