Pay it Forward in Reloading

I have some 45 acp small primer ready to go. I didn't count them. All are 1 time fired as far as i know. Rough estimate about 300. I did dry tumble and decap them. They are not sized.
I love a .45! love the look of the ball FMJ round. Fat and happy! I’m 1/2 way to owning the CZ 97 my brother is holding for me!
 
Finished a spring kick-start of 9mm brass prep. Totalled just over 2300 cases tumbled, de-primed, sized, & sorted by headstamp. I just got into the habit of processing my brass like this. So priming sessions will usually be done in sets of 100 to 500 of the same headstamp.

At the moment, that leaves me with 317 cases of mixed brands that I generally don't use. There are 3 bags 105/105/107 each.

Anyone just getting started who needs 9mm brass? Or anyone who might be running low?

Let me know.

WoW! you actually counted your 9mm brass. I use the USPS small box flat rate standard.
 
I’ve been thinking about starting a thread, “How not to process and store your brass…”
you don’t have to… ZipLock! you are welcome!

all seriousness, it urks me to have dirty brass. Minimum is to have it cleaned and put away in Ziplock bags, have not accumulated enough to put said ziplock into Home Depot Buckets yet

I store my brass cleaned, sized and separated by headstamps. I want to load, I just pull it out, prime flare powder and seat the bullet. I don't flare ahead because I don't know if I'll be loading jacketed or lead.

I do the same thing except that I only resize the pistol brass. The rifle brass gets sized to fit the chamber of whatever rifle I load it for. I use the plastic Folgers coffee cans for storage.

I've got stacks of boxes with ziplok'd brass inside. Some boxes have loose brass, all the same caliber, in various states of processing. I've also got 50cal and 30cal cans with brass, some in baggies, some in boxes, some in paper sacks (remember those little sacks nuts-n-bolts would come in?), some just stuffed with range pickup I never got around to, and I've got boxes, bags, and sacks of ready-to-load brass. I've got a lot of brass. I don't know where it all is or what state of processing it's in, but I've got a lot of it. Takes maybe an hour, at most, to go from "Ewwwww...stanky old range pickup from 1990..." to, "Shine-eeeeee! :D" and ready to load. Toss in corn media for ten minutes, resize/decap, toss in treated walnut for ten minutes, powder-through-expanding die, seat, load, shoot, repeat.
