I just got back from the post office,and Picked them up..I'm really pleased with them..I was expecting them to be all dull,and dirty,but they are tumbled,and are bright and shiney,and nicely packed in separate sealed bags of 100..I will shop them again for future brass needs..I can tell they have only been fired once by the sealant around the primers..
 
Their prices aren't bad surprisingly. I've checked a lot of online places and they are crazy high. I used to sell brass on various Facebook pages, but it seems that since the election it's easier just to scrap it. Maybe I should start a website and go about it that way lol.

Another option is to put it in the PIF thread. :D

I was looking at their site the otherday,and noticed the price went up on the Federal 243 from $15 per 100 to $20 per 100.

If the primers are crimped in place, you can be pretty sure they have only been fired once.

The fact they have sealant around the primers only tells you they MAY be once-fired or else they MAY be cases someone like me - who seals primers - has reloaded dozens of times and didn't bother to pick up because he knew they were on the verge of being shot out.

In fact, I recently posted about the fact that I recently received a case from an on-line brass merchant that had unique tool marks where the primer pocket had been reamed out with an L.E. Wilson chamfer tool (the marks it leaves are pretty distinctive) and then sealed with pink sealant - something I did on a batch of cartridges in about 1983 that my father gave away without consulting me. I may have gotten my oft-fired brass back, 33 years later.

Thats not really that bad for 243. It's a low volume round. I don't really come across them except around hunting season. Same for all of the normal hunting stuff: 270, 30-06, 7mm, etc. 308 is a different story. People love blasting it, so excess supply drives prices down.
