40 S&W Deprimed Brass Shells — Cleaned & Polished | Qty 10 Pcs

Deprimed 40 S&W Brass — Primer Already Removed for Jewelry & Crafting

For beaders and jewelry makers working directly with spent brass, skipping the primer-removal step matters — these 40 S&W casings arrive already deprimed, so there's nothing left in the primer pocket to knock out before you drill, wire-wrap, or set a bail. Each piece starts as genuine once-fired brass, individually inspected, then tumbled-cleaned and polished. Prefer the primer still intact, or want a bigger bulk quantity? See our 40 S&W polished brass shells. Rather skip drilling it yourself? Our pre-drilled 40 S&W shells are ready for findings. Want a different look? Try the nickel-finish 40 S&W shells.

Quick Specs

FAQs

Is this a genuine once-fired casing or a replica? Genuine once-fired 40 S&W brass — not a molded or machined replica — individually inspected before it ships.

What does "deprimed" mean, and is this safe/inert? The spent primer has been physically removed from the primer pocket. There's no primer, no powder, and no possibility of ignition — completely inert.

Will every casing look identical? These are mixed-source once-fired brass, so headstamps and manufacturer marks vary piece to piece — that's normal, not a defect.

Do I need to clean these before using them? No — they arrive cleaned and polished, ready to drill, wire-wrap, or display straight out of the pack.

What are these typically used for? Bullet jewelry (pendants, earrings, keychains), steampunk designs, and display pieces — the open primer pocket makes it easier to run wire or a jump ring through than with an intact casing.

Popular Uses

• Bullet Jewelry & Accessories: pendants, earrings, and keychains — the open primer pocket makes wire-wrapping or adding a jump ring easier than with an intact casing.
• Steampunk & Mixed-Media Crafts: a popular raw material for steampunk-style jewelry and sculptural art.
• Display & Collector Pieces: a genuine, inert conversation piece for shadow boxes or collections.
