Getting time to cash in
With the amount of shooting my wife and I have done and also one of my friends it is close to time to sell the empty casings from our 22 shooting. I sell them to a recycling place near here when we get enough to take in. When this last can gets topped off they will bring some money toward a case of ammo from TargetSports. These are from mid spring until now so we did have some good shooting this year. The Know Your Limits spinner made us shoot more often starting in the summer and now into fall because it is a lot of fun. I probably have a few bags of some casings sitting here some where to finish filling them. I believe they will bring around $60 or more when filled. Good to cash them in rather than sweep them up and put them in the garbage can. Doesn't make me feel cheap doing it either.

Bandit, I don`t re-load, but I do save brass. Most of mine are .357, .38 and 22. Does it all have to be sorted? Or is it just purchased by weight?

Thank you NCG. Will have to check with our local metal recycler after I collect some more.North Country Gal wrote: ↑Wed Nov 13, 2019 10:50 amWe do the same thing. Our local recycler pays by weight.

Our recycler requires us to count them and sort them by the head stamp. No, thankfully they go by weight.markiver54 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 13, 2019 10:46 amBandit, I don`t re-load, but I do save brass. Most of mine are .357, .38 and 22. Does it all have to be sorted? Or is it just purchased by weight?

Re: Getting time to cash in
They are a pain to pick up but as primitive as our range is they require us to take out what we brought in and that also means empty rounds. Our range is kept very clean but didn't used to be. Shot gun shooters were most of the ones to leave things lay when finished. They stopped shooting clay birds on this range and they have their own place now on club ground to shoot clays. We don't sweep the empty 22's up with a broom very often and if we do we try to get the pieces of gravel or black coal dirt out of them. I take them in cleaner than any one else so the recycler tells me.

Putting a tarp down prior to shooting makes brass retrieval much easier.

Re: Getting time to cash in
Other than the shooters' at the time the woods around my area are nearly brass free!
The tweakers have already 'capitalized' on the brass market around here.
I was surprised to see a pile of 5.56 brass still on the ground after a week at one of my local spots.
