Scrap Brass

[KnotRight]

What do you do with your scrap brass?
I know you can sell it but not sure it worth it in gas and time to take it to a scrap yard. And to get maybe $2.00 a pound you would need a bunch.

If it is something I can use, I usually keep it. If I pick up more than I can use, I will sell it or trade it with a fellow reloader. If it is something I don’t currently load for, but I think I may in the future, I save it up until I get enough to make it worthwhile. If it is usable but a caliber I have no interest in, I sell it or trade it. The only thing I turn in for recycling is stuff that is unusable (damaged, or Berdan primed).

The going rate right now is about $1.30 per pound.

I take mine to the “metal man” when I’m already headed in that direction anyway.

All pennies add up to be dollars.

Scrap. It's scrap.

GOOD FUN RAISER for the forum.
At our get together s we should bring our scrap brass and let it help pay for the sever. I might have 10 to 15 pounds a year (less primers) of scrap brass. Not worth a trip to the scrap yard. If a 100 members have that much it would help.

I have about 300 lbs of it, gotta find a place in ClT to sell it.

I pickup pennies lying on the ground too.

Where is the "Metal man" located. I have about 12 lbs that I would like to get rid of.

Does it have to be deprimed to take to scrap yard? I assume .22 brass is okay to scrap also?

Rifle casings ? You may have just found a buyer

Some, but it’s all stuff that isn’t reloadable and that I didn’t even want to toss in the buckets for cutting up to make bullet jackets for swaging. It is truly scrap.

I keep mine in a protein powder jar as I am culling brass. I also dump in all old primers, and 22lr casings. Usually I get around 20lbs plus various metal when I haul something off (appliances, car parts, etc) and it goes into the total.

You ain't gonna get rich scrapping anything but like TH says, pennies make dollars.

So they will take old primers with the brass? Was wondering.

They are brass, my understanding is that some will take others will not. Some will pay less for mixed brass and nickel.

I will check and see if my go to scrape yard will take them.

Late to this discussion, but I took a few hundred pounds to Wise on Brookshire near Hoskins. Clean and simple. You get a voucher that you take to an ATM like machine an it converts to cash. I'd check the price on brass first. It fluxuates. Some companies post it on their web site. Don't remember if they do.
