Cash for Brass

[Sir Henry]

I took five 5-gallon buckets of brass to the recyclers this morning and drove away with a check for $659.25. I had no idea it was worth that much.

Dang, how may buckets?

Now imagine if you had sorted by caliber and sold it online….. scrap “bullet brass” around here goes for $1.60 per pound.

I scrap brass, but it is only rimfire and damaged cases….

Whao! No idea about that either. That was a bonanza.

Yikes! I need to save more brass. I've been saving spent primers and damaged brass, but I may start picking up 22 hulls at the range.

If you're going to do that, I'd suggest buying a cordless shop vac. They can be had for under $100 for a 2.6 gallon vac.

I bet cleaned and separated I could have gotten $4-5K for it. I just don’t have the 200 hours to do it.

Ive been saving it also. I have about a 1/3 of a 5 gallon bucket full right now.
