myhatinthering 462 Posted February 24, 2019 anyone ever bring their shells to a place a like this? I've got several buckets and don't feel like selling etc so called them and they said they take fired brass. Of note, don't have to deprime them anyone do something like this?

fishnut 2,358 Posted February 24, 2019 Shells? As in spent shotgun shells? Most are steel not brass and not worth scraping. If your mean spent rifle and pistol casings if you dont want to sell it just give it to a reloader. Destroying once fired brass is like destroying a rifle because you dont want it. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray Ray 3,566 Posted February 24, 2019 Separate it via caliber, scrap the bent or unreloadable casings and sell the rest here. Or trade it for goods. A 5 gallon bucket of brass is usually 80 bucks in cash, but that number fluctuates daily. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
louu 399 Posted February 24, 2019 I'll buy all the 9mm you have as long as it's not freedom munitions or a ton of crimped stuff. Like Adam said, Nancy, Maxine and Greenday want you to scrap it. 1 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's mostly 9mm, 5.56 but there is also a decent amount of 38/357 and 308. Do have some 30-06, 45 but like I said, too much of a hassle. really just curious if anyone has ever done this before.

I see they sell 5lb buckets of 223/556 for 175 and I've got at least 3 of those if I separated and at least 1 full of 9mm. fk that, just bring to beacon and walk out...lol I've got zinc stuff too but not as much. that is mostly 38 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maksim 1,504 Posted February 25, 2019 For separating... this makes it easier... Shell Sorter If you want easy scrap, there is a company that you register online, weight the brass, they give you a shipping label and mail it in. $1.40 per lb. Capital Cartridge.

Beacon in Amboy is 1.50 and I don't mind going there but thank you 16 minutes ago, Ray Ray said: I will separate it, where are you? appreciate that but no worries not sure how you can find that relaxing, man it's just like scratching your eyes to me.

Maksim 1,504 Posted February 25, 2019 Just to say... if it is rifle brass, 223, 308, etc... I would separate that and sell it yourself, here, folks would snap it up. Pistol brass not as great especially if 9mm... but if 45 or oddball stuff, separate and sell. Or find someone to separate and split with you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
