40 S&W Polished Brass Shells — Cleaned & Tumbled

These genuine once-fired 40 S&W brass casings have been cleaned, tumbled, and polished specifically for the high demands of jewelry making and crafting. That hand-polishing is why these cost more than mass-produced replicas — you're paying for genuine recovered brass and real handwork, not a cheap stand-in. Each shell is individually inspected for dents, dings, and scratches before it ships. Expect light natural wear from the original firing process. Available in bulk quantities from 5 to 200 pieces. Prefer a raw, uncleaned option, a nickel finish, or a pre-drilled version instead? See our dirty 40 S&W brass casings, nickel-finish 40 S&W shells, or our pre-drilled 40 S&W shells. If you work in multiple calibers, we also have polished .223/5.56 brass.
