I found LC .223 brass easily. I'm not seeing much '06 brass. Lots of LC .308 and .223 around.
What are your sources?
Ok, so LC 30-06 brass is basically gone...

used, shot up, etc. I didn't know they quit making it before I was born. Huh.
If anyone has good quality (Remington, Hornady, etc) 30-06 brass they want to sell, let me know. Looking for up to 500 pieces. Thanks!

Yeah, I was going to post a pic of H G Wells time machine, but I thought that might be a bit snarky even for me.
I know I was reaching but you never know...

I mean JT probably has 5k pieces of brass buried in the back yard under the tomato plants.
I've got a bunch of LC .30-06 brass - email me
Maybe we can work a deal. Got it in a group buy, buddies who I thought were taking it backed out. I think I have at least 500 pieces.

Lake City 30-06 brass?
Greek HXP is good stuff. I have reloaded a bunch of it and it works fine. In fact the ammo is better than most LC I have used. It even works just fine for necking up to .35 Whelen.
See if you can find some of it.
Thx Jared. NT

The Garand shooters that don't reload sell off their once fired mil brass on the CMP ammunition forum, best place I've found to buy LC and HXP 30-06 brass. It sells fast though.
Thx - NT

Have to look around...
A friend was working on a project several years ago where he pulled the bullets and powder from a bunch of military '06. He gave me the primed, unfired cases to use for reloading. I will have to dig them out, check the headstamps and see how many cases there are.
Did some looking....
Have probably 500(?) LC head stamped cases that are once fired from my national match days. Also have a quantity of LC headstamped primed, unfired cases, mostly with 53 dates. Don't know how many if these there are, but should be at least 500.
Wow. Nice find. If you don't need them all let me know? NT

I am confident I will never need them all, just need to count them to see what is actually there and determine how many can be parted with.
Thanks for checking. I'm interested. NT

Still counting....
Have found out my ability to estimate numbers of cases is not all that great. So far have come up with 345 once fired, assorted date, LC headstamped, pieces; and 500 unfired, primed, LC 53 headstamped pieces. Want to finish counting to see what is there so I know what can be parted with.
Understood. Thx for the update!

I have a box with a decent amount of '06 brass in it. I've been thinking about buying a rifle to go with it but if you are in need of some, you are welcome to it. I'll get a count tonight and see what's there. It's not 500, though!
Thx for the offer! However, you've saved it for a purpose..

I would prefer you keep it for that. It sounds like Brian might have extra for me. Thx again!
