In search of brass (Knoxville Area)

[ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ]

Hey fellow TGOers,

I'm getting ready to start reloading and thanks to David (dlm37015) and his great prices, I have purchase everything except brass.  

I've been scavenging at the range, but not having much luck.

 

I want to start loading 9mm to begin with - so I need 9mm brass.

 

My next cartridge will the .223/5.56 - so I will eventually need .223/5.56

 

Also, if you have a rotary tumbler you have decided you no longer want or you upgraded - let me know.  I am leaning toward wet rotary tumbling with stainless steel media, but it will be a future investment unless a TGOer has something I might be able to use.

 

I will consider any reasonable prices.....

Should you be so gracious as to donate it, I will buy you a beer!   :x:

 

Thanks all.

If I had the knowledge of reloading years ago that I have now I would have never bought a traditional tumbler and especially not a dry tumbler. Ninety percent of the time I just shake my brass in a citric acid, water, and dish soap mix. I then rinse it about an hour later and then shake it dry while waded up in a towel. The result is brass clean enough for reloading. Really dirty brass gets sorted to go to a friends house for the stainless media bath in solvent. This is normally range pick up brass or brass on it's fifth or sixth reloading.

If so he is the one to see about all your reload supplies.

There will be a bunch of 9mm brass to scavenge after our training day on Sunday in South Knoxville. If you're willing I will give you access to the range next week

A little known secret if you don't care to drive 25 min south of the airport (McGhee Tyson), is Farnsworth Firearms in Vonore.  Since his business has a indoor range, he usually has many brass calibers.  During the great gun/ammo panic of 2013, I was always able to find brass (not 223) at normal pricing and usually at all that I want.  Call before you go.

I appreciate the responses fellers - am following up with each of you privately.

 

Thanks RED333, I have already been buying from David - you are correct.... great prices, great guy.
