This is not a WTS post if you thought it was in wrong place.

American Reloading is selling brass in which live primers are reversed or otherwise misaligned.@Radom Guy’s post on where are components thread led me to this one.

45 Auto Mixed HS "Reverse" Primed Brass - 500ct
Condition: Pulled

4 Items

Pulled - Backwards Primers

- May contain minor dents/scratches

- Lot consists of sorted, good brass with upside down/backwards primers

- May contain large and small primers

** Primers may be removed and corrected for reuse**
$99.99

I like the idea of selling seconds—remember the scratch & dent sales at appliance stores?
Also a good lesson in economics—shows the relative cost of labor is higher even than primers.

How many do you get for $100.00?
I'm not afraid to punch them out and reuse them. But if it works out to them trying to make a huge profit from their mistake, they can keep them and use their own labor to fix them.

If your needing brass it may not be too bad, but it does say mixed, SP, LP which leads to another issue.
 
Just an observation, the website description says, "These are Demilitarized pulled bullets, new but once loaded then pulled apart. These have very minimal pull marks and are ready to load. No sizing is needed."

There's no way I would not resize them after the initial loading stretched the mouth of the case. ymmv

P.S. I'm guessing these guys aren't reloaders. They also called 'em bullets in the quote above.

I agree…bullet pushback is at least one reason, no?
 
Is it free shipping??
500 pieces of 45 acp brass plus 500 primers. Sounds like a deal these days if you want to mess around with them.

JMO..................even if one was to recover ALL the primers, $50.00 would get you 500 brand new primers even at todays escalated pricing, and for another $50.00 you could probably find 1000 once fired brass. Just doesn't sound like a good deal to me...............but I don't expect my thoughts to be anyone else's.............:)

I do not need either brass or primers. What is the current price for primers large or small??
Actually the brass is still new, never fired.

Your math sounds good to me. I wouldn't be afraid to deprime them but like Jim Watson posted, I wouldn't reuse them for anything serious. Thats probably an unnecessary precaution on my part but I'm just that way.
 
They have rightway primer 45acp brass for $124 per 500 too. I would just get those.

Yeah. If it's pulled it has to be sized, at least neck sized when rifle brass. Pulled 45acp brass will probably go through the sizing die with 1 finger on the press handle.

It’s not a good deal in my view but I also don’t know where one could find 1000 once fired for $50. Not online anyhow…https://blueridgebrass.com/product/processed-45-acp-large-primer-only-once-fired-reloading-brass/
 
Mine arrived on Friday last week. 500 rounds of backward primed brass. I took a look at some of the brass. About 80% is Speer. About 95% is small pistol primed. I didn't buy it for a deal, I could have done better I think. I just wanted a project. I processed 100 small primed. I didn't have to size, that was already done, plus the brass was clean. I poked out the primers, 0% went off. My Co-Ax collected them easily to be re-primed. All came out easy. After another run through the press, I am ready to load the hundred. I am happy, gives me something to fiddle around with in the cold winter months.
