I'm guessing I got this about 10 years ago, just found it buried in one of my ammo cans under the loading bench.
I feel like I won the lottery!

Nice!
I can't believe how cheap brass was back then. Damn, sure wish we could get it at that price now.
I really don't shoot much 9mm anymore, but I remember very good prices on 5.56mm from Waggenspack back around this time too.

Sucks it's 9mm brass. Still 1000 count but it's unfortunately the most common case you're gonna find.
If I found 1000 count of 45 I would lose my shite.
Do you have a stainless tumbler yet? You should definitely look into getting one. It will make those cases look brand new.

I believe I do have around 1K of .45 brass, that I have collected the last several years. It's amazing how people don't keep their brass nowadays.
I still use the old school tumbler with walnut and corncob media. I like the stainless, but man, that stuff is kinda spendy. Maybe some day.....

You will pay once and literally never have to spend another cent unless the belt breaks. Not another penny on media.
Upsides to stainless:
1. You can do larger loads
2. No bass brightener needed (so no clumps)
3. No need to rub the corn/walnut residue off of them before loading them
4. Spotless primer pockets (if you deprime before tumbling)
5. A small drop of dawn and Lemishine is all that you need for each load. These will last hundreds of loads.
6. Absolutely flawless cases. No hard residue that the steel can't take off.
7. Smoother feeding (the cases have no left over residue on them)
The downsides:
1. Expensive one-time cost
2. You can't tumble steel cases (if you give a crap about loading steel cases)
3. It uses wet media so you have to let each load dry for a night
Besides that, I will never touch a vibratory tumbler again.
