9mm Unclean Brass in .30 Caliber Ammo Can - 1700ct
This item contains approximately 1700 pieces of unclean 9mm brass.
This brass contains various dings and dints on the cases. The brass has not be deprimed, sized, cleaned, or trimmed. It is recommended that all brass be inspected, cleaned, deprimed, sized, and trimmed prior to being reloaded and fired. Please note this item may contain a few pieces of unclean brass from other calibers.

$149.99 Availability: In stock

Seems kinda pricey for what appears to be essentially "range brass".  I'd like to get a decent amount to start reloading 9mm, but have no idea on values.

Personally, i think that is pretty high. For range brass that is unprocessed, $50 per/1000 or so should be about right.

Big Shots in Lincoln has $5/100 brass everyday of the week.

Big Shots is the place.  They warned me that there might be some 380 mixed in and there certainly was (about 20 cases), but it was the 22LR that made me laugh!  380 is not a big deal, I reload those as well.
