i've accumulated a lil' bit (Wolf, Hornady, & LBC and more being picked up off the ground every outing. i dont reload, so am wondering what a fair price is for 6.5 brass is these days?
6.5 brass value?

50:100? Naw! Only a fool would pay 90% of the retail cost of Lapua brass for hornady and wolf once fired.
$20:100 isn't terrible for once fired but the wolf inclusion drops the value to where I wouldn't pay that much. Separate out the wolf and you'll get better returns. Sell the wolf cheap.

thanks for the inputs...new to 6.5G so didnt know. i have reloading capabilities, just dont load for auto-loaders anymore and pretty much stick to loading up specific loads for my bolt guns. once i get down to counting what i have, i guess i'll post them up forsale at the following if its a fair price.
Lapua once fired brass: .40/piece
Hornady once fired: .30/piece
Wolf once fired: .20/piece
is Laupa the same as LBC (Black Hills Les Baer loads) brass? i've got around 100 of the LBC, probably 50-60 of the Hornady, and a couple hundred of Wolf at this point in time.

I'll buy the Hornady / LBC brass when you're ready to sell.Last edited by Drifter; 10-01-2011, 06:02 PM.Drifter

As far as the Black Hills Gold 6.5 Grendel 123 gr. Sierra Matchking ammo that Les Baer sells, it may depend on when you purchased it.
I have the Black Hills ammo from Les Baer and it is loaded in AA/Lapua brass. The headstamp on the brass says AA on it. Otherwise it may be Hornady or still Lapua.
You may want to call either Les or Black Hills and get clarification.
Good Luck.

you are quite right several months ago when I ordered from Les he had to check the brass as to small or large rifle primer.
If I recall correctly LBC marked brass Large Primer = Hornady for sure as he had hornady bunt them with .264 LBC, LBC ammo that used Lapula and AA was marked with lapula/AA but there may be exceptions to this.
Cost wise it was actually cheaper for me to order from AA vs LBC as Les sold by the piece.
after posting this checked the Last batch of LBC that I got ..... small rifle primers now I'm not sure about Hornady vs LupulaLast edited by Guest; 10-03-2011, 02:52 AM.

Black Hills used both Lapua and Alexander Arms brass, marked as such, when they were initially loading the Black Hills Grendel loads for Les Baer. Those loads were 123 Sierra Match Kings.
When Black Hills converted to LBC .264, they switched to Hornady 123 AMAX's. That brass is Hornady brass marked as LBC .264. The brass is identical to Hornady Grendel brass, except in the head stamp.
Lapua, Alexander Arms, Hornady and LBC brass are ALL small primer brass.
The only large primer brass is Wolf!
