FAQs

Are these cleaned or polished? No — these are raw, once fired brass casings, not tumbled or polished. If you need cleaned and polished casings, see our Qty 65 listing.

Are these safe to handle? Yes — completely inert. Spent primers only, no gunpowder or live components.

Will all casings have the same headstamp? No — headstamps vary by batch since these are sourced from mixed range brass.

What’s the difference between brass, nickel, and steel casings? Brass is the standard gold/yellow shell casing — the most common and versatile. Nickel has a silver, corrosion-resistant finish. Steel is a gray, harder material typically used in budget or military surplus ammo.

Can these be used for jewelry and crafts? Yes — a popular base for bullet pendants, keychains, steampunk projects, and patriotic decor.
