What To Know About Brass Once Fired

By Jon Himler


Brass once fired refers to a type of casings. As the name suggests, these are shells that have been previously fired. Nickel or brass casings are considerably less expensive than those purchased from a store and are therefore a more popular option for those who participate in recreational shooting.

Usually this is taken from federal and state firearms training facilities. They might also be gathered from private shooting ranges in a specific area. Once these are collected, they are inspected, and sorted by type and size. The sorted casings are packaged for sale so that they can be used with recreational and commercial reloaders.

A person who buys these casings does so with the understanding that they come as they are. That is, there is no guarantee that the units will be blemish free. With that said, many people do not have problems because the units are reconditioned and cleaned for use with reloaders.

Another perk that comes with using these casings is that they are easier to find in bulk at discounted prices. There are many different wholesale dealers that package these in large quantities. Avid reloaders will appreciate these inexpensive supplies. Some people sell their left overs to companies that do remanufacturing. These metals are considered valuable and wholesalers will purchase them back from the consumers for resale purposes.

Not every casing will be the same. Refurbished kinds are sent through inspection and verified for caliber. There are some distributors who will have them polished and there are some that choose not to. Items that have gone through more processing are expected to reload easier. Pay attention to the grade, as the ideal one includes those that have been polished, deprimed and cleaned.

People who enjoy reloading or own guns may take interest in brass once fired. These types of casings are usually available in large quantities for a low price. They are remanufactured for use in reloaders. Make sure to do adequate research to find a company that offers the ideal grade of casings.
