Things To Know Regarding Once Fired Brass

By Jon Himler


Quite a lot of people who deal in guns and bullets want to know about the value of once fired brass or cases. Therefore, clarity on this subject is essential to ensure that gunsmiths encounter few difficulties. This clarity can be found in the paragraphs that follow.

For starters, three factors will determine the worth of such cases. How it has been used previously is probably more important than any other, though the casing type and size also need to be considered. And though they have to be considered separately, overlap does occur.

The firing of the case causes the walls of said casing to expand as well as the shoulder, the neck and the mouth. But the case head, rim and webbing are not expanded in that way. Their quality can be deduced by how well preserved they are after the firing.

The type of casing that is used will have an effect on its quality after firing. Casing will expand in a different way depending on its type, with some expanding greatly and others expanding little. You will want to avail of the last type.

And how it was previously used will tell the tale. If little expansion can be detected, then you may assume that it has weathered its previous use well. But it may also be the case that the cases were never used because they were duds, so you have to be careful before jumping to conclusions here.

To summarise, figuring the value of once fired brass is evidently not as clear cut as may be popularly supposed. But as long as the points in the paragraphs above are followed and the previous use, type and size of casing is factored in, you cannot go wrong here. It is vital that you make sure these basics are clearly kept in mind.
