    Roughly 1.8 million pieces of brass.

    I think I saw somewhere that if you spent 5 days a week, 4 hours a night reloading the stuff at a rate of 1000 rounds per hour ... it would take 17 years to load it all.

    EDIT: My bad ... those stats are for the 28,000 pound lot ... either way ... you get the picture.

    I never thought to look on GL for brass. Curious what these actually close at.

    I need brass, but not that much, and how in the hell would I get it home and store it?

    Here's 15k lbs of 5.56 in drums. This may be easier for you to transport & store.

    Got Brass?

    I'm pretty sure the ones in the drums require your own method of storage, ie they keep the drums. You usually need a roll off or something for those lots.

    Also, some of the lots have the weight of the containers/skids/drums added in with the weight so watch out for that too.

    Prices seem to be going pretty high on the .223 auctions lately.

    ETA - There are usually around 73-74 primed .223 cases in a lb for anyone looking for piece counts on those lots.
