Our Position on Reloading

Craft Supplies Depot supplies genuine, once-fired brass casings — including calibers popular with reloaders — alongside our craft, jewelry, and display product lines. We're happy to provide clean, high-quality brass and clear information about how each lot was processed. What we don't do is provide specific reloading recipes, load data, or technical load specifications. For safety and accuracy, always consult a current published reloading manual (such as Hodgdon, Hornady, or Lyman) or the powder manufacturer's own published data for your specific reloading needs.

What We Provide

Every brass casing we sell is genuine, once-fired range brass. Before listing, we inspect for case-wall integrity (splits, dents, corrosion) and sort by caliber, and by headstamp or manufacturer where a listing specifies it. Each listing states plainly whether the casing is being sold as-is (uncleaned), cleaned and polished, and whether the primer is intact, spent and inert, or removed (deprimed) — check the individual listing for the exact condition, since this varies by lot. All brass we sell is free of any propellant, live primer, or other combustible material at the time of sale.

FAQs

Do you provide reloading data, load recipes, or technical specifications? No. Load data depends on the exact combination of brass, primer, powder, and bullet you're using, along with your own equipment and measurements — variables we don't control and can't verify for you. For that information, use a current published manual (Hodgdon, Hornady, Lyman) or the specific powder manufacturer's own data, and always start at published minimums.

Why don't you publish your own load data? Because doing so responsibly would require knowing your exact components and equipment, which we have no way to verify. Published manuals are tested under controlled conditions specifically for this purpose — we'd rather point you to a reliable source than guess.

What condition is your brass in? Once-fired range brass from public ranges, police training and competitions. Each listing states whether it's uncleaned or cleaned and polished, and whether it's sorted by a single headstamp/manufacturer or a mixed lot. We inspect for visible case-wall damage, rust, splits and dings before listing.

Is the primer intact or removed? It depends on the listing — check the product description for each one. Where the primer is physically present, it is spent and inert. Where it's been removed, the listing says so plainly (deprimed). If you need something deprimed, just ask.

Where can I find your most popular calibers for reloading? Our most-requested brass includes 12 gauge hulls, 9mm brass, 45 ACP brass, .223/5.56 brass, and .308 brass, along with deprimed 9mm brass for those who want the primer already removed.

Do you sort by headstamp or manufacturer? Some listings are single-headstamp, others are mixed manufacturer lots — this is always stated on the individual product page, so check there if a specific headstamp matters for your process.

Is it legal for me to reload with these casings? The casings themselves are spent, inert brass — not live ammunition, and not a regulated component in that condition. Reloading is subject to your own local, state, and federal laws, and it's your responsibility to follow them and to use safe, verified practices and protective equipment. We're not able to provide legal advice — when in doubt, check your local regulations or consult a professional.
