I have about a bucket full of unwanted brass from competitions too. I imagine that's going to go much much slower & have just about everything in it from what I saw when I browsed the top. Going to look over each piece more closely to see if its cracked or damaged as I don't have any idea if any were reloaded. All my brass is first fired.

I think laps 1 to 5 is a great example of practice or test runs. Aggressive and not aggressive runs to see time. Lap 5 looks like you wanted to see the track condition?

The Mazda steering (at least when I was driving yrs back then) was very fine and sensitive. I think it is very power assisted than vehicles like BMW.

Do you left foot brake?
(For dual clutch, high speed corner for manual gearbox).

Yeah Lap 5 was a hot mess. I think I was just exhausted by that point in the day, and wasn't driving very well.

I don't left foot brake, I'm not very good at finer movement with my left foot, it's something I really should work on. Hopefully when things start to open up more and there are track days again, I can get some practice in doing that...

Good morning folks.

So I have a lot of cbc, lc nato, federal, men & maybe 2k imi. All 556 first fired brass. I made a mixed brass box with all the other headstamps. Have a small collection of 223 that ive also separated out, federal & mixed. About 22k worth in total, give or take as I didn't count each piece but I know how much Ive bought & shot. I'm going by estimates by the bucket too which vary by quite a large margin. Still sorting more of mine & have a bucket of range brass also.

So should I sell it, save it or what? I really don't have an interest in reloading but if I did...

Trying to declutter & wouldnt mind a little extra cash. I have a 84 cz75 Id like to finish & precision bobbles I'd like to acquire & this might help to those ends, yes? Thoughts?

Once you take the plunge and start reloading, you?ll wish you kept that brass if you get rid of it. Just saying.

Everyone keeps saying... but I really just like competition & shooting & that would be a whole new hobby. I read & hear lc nato is good for match brass, what about the others?

Similar situation for me as I only reload pistol currently. I keep the LC and sell/trade the rest.

I have 9mm too. No where near as much though, mixed brass. Still just sitting there. Want it?

this will give you an idea how much brass is going for. Out of stock and you have that caliber, brings your price up a few dollars per 1k
