223 / 5.56 Brass

.223 / 5.56 Brass Casings — Reloading & Craft Supply

Genuine once-fired .223 Remington / 5.56 NATO casings, available in brass, nickel, and steel. These are real range-recovered shells, individually inspected and cleaned — not manufactured to look used. Whether you're reloading, building bullet jewelry, or working on a craft project, headstamps and manufacturers vary since these come from real, fired ammunition, not a uniform batch.

This collection also includes ready-made dummy rounds for display and prop use, and flattened or engraved brass blanks for metal stamping and personalized pieces.

Q: What's the difference between brass, nickel, and steel casings? A: Brass is the standard material; nickel is a plated finish; steel is a genuinely less common, typically imported alternative — magnetic, unlike brass or nickel.
