"Hello, I'm BK and I'm a brass hoarder."

"Hi BK!"



I was hauling some stuff that I had been storing at my sister's to my storage unit (not having a garage bites, BTW). I decided I maybe ought to figure out exactly what I have, and found some brass I had forgotten about.

Now if I could just find enough primers to get some of it loaded.

Nah, you're just ecological minded.

You have to be patriotic and share the wealth, just ask Joe Biden.

Not really.

I have 8 x 5 gallon pails of brass - full.

8 x 2-3 gallon Rubbermaid containers, 6 of which are full.

Plus 4 x 1 gallon Rubbermaid containers each ranging to 1/2 full.

About 80% of the brass is clean and ready to be loaded.

I have 9mm, 40S&W, 45ACP, .223/5.56mm, .308 and .338LM.

That's a lot of brass, but I sure there are a good number of people that have more.

FWIW I don't pick up my pistol brass at matches except the 45, which I shoot from a 'clipped revolver. I do pickup my rifle brass.
With the exception of the 45ACP brass, I get the other calibers for nothing. Yes, including .338LM.

Certainly shows the difference between you guys and us. I dont know of any aussies that have that amount of brass laying around. I have about 90 Win .308 Brass and 15 Federal .308 brass and thats it. But i dont reload and im not at the range as much as I would like. And im still building my SPS Tactical up.
