Default IMI 1x Fired 223 Brass

We have the opportunity to buy a large quantity of 1x fired IMI 223 brass. We are posting here to gauge the interest level in this brass. If we do go forward with the purchase we would be reselling it in lots of 500 pieces, the brass will be cleaned and ready to resize. Price would be $60 shipped per 500 count bag. Based on the information we have been able to dig up the IMI brass is comparable in quality and uniformity to Lake City brass. Anyone that is potentially interested in purchasing please post stating the quantity you are interested in. Thanks

Default 223 IMI Brass

Brad,

I could use 500 (no, make that 1,000) if it is available fairly soon. I have been looking around for some good brass to form to 17/222 without paying Lapua's cost. My ability to use this brass may be contingent on finding a way to size it down enough to fit my tight-chambered rifle.

I understood that the IMI brass is near Lapua quality in terms of toughness but I could have misunderstood??

Not too long ago IMI was the preferred brass for 17 and 20 Tact iirc.

Gary,

If we do have enough interest in the brass it would be shipping sometime next week.

I think the IMI brass would be great for forming many different wildcat's. I also heard a couple people refer to it in the same realm as Lapua, although i don't know that first hand so I can't confirm.
