I don’t reload...

>>uncommon stuff more than likely reload

Junkyards and recycling centers pay cash for scrap metal. They weigh what you brought in and pay you cash on the spot. Brass is worth a few bucks per pound.

Got more time on your hands? dig the lead out of the berm. They pay cash for lead too.

Call your local recycling centers for rates, they vary daily just like the price of gold or your favorite stock.

I will buy brass occasionally, there's a little money in it. If you want the big bucks, drive it to my house, scatter it all over then half heartedly try to stop me as I run around picking it up.

U wot, seriously?

I have a hundred pounds of range brass, are you saying I can get a few hundred for this?

Have you never scrapped metal before? When copper was a bit higher there was people going around and ripping all the pipes and wires out of any house they could break into. Made a horrible mess for a lot of people. Right now its at about $2/pound for copper.
Brass is going to be closer to $1.50/pound.

Your best bet is to google, brass scrap . Then read some reviews on the local scrapers and make sure you know what you have when you go. They will jew you and try to say its mixed metals so is worth a lot less, like $0.06/pound.
You might want to take a small chunk of what you have first, rather than getting ripped off on the whole lot.

tl;dr
>google brass scrap price
>don't get jewed.

>U wot, seriously?
Yes. How did you not know this? Scrap metal is worth cash.

>I have a hundred pounds of range brass, are you saying I can get a few hundred for this?
Depends on the price in your area, and how clean it is. I've been paid anywhere from a buck fifty to about 4 bucks a pound for scrap brass. It all depends on what the spot price of copper is on a given day. Recycling centers pay a lot less money for dirty metal than they do for clean metal. Tarnish doesn't matter, but if there's any dirt or sand in there, wash it out and you'll get paid more. also, don't mix steel case with brass. Junkyards won't take mixed metals, or they will pay you a lot less for it.

BTW, when you go, take note of the crackheads selling stolen electrical wire in order to fund their habit.

As someone who works with polymer, they are certainly heat resistant and strong enough. It's just a matter of time.

got anything more to add?

What is this tool??

Sell me any 8mm and 30-06 before scrapping pls

I dunno if that is a dedicated tool for brass or not, but you will see similar things in various industries. Gardeners/farmers use them to collect nuts for sale, for example. I've also seen versions for picking up golf balls at driving ranges. The hardware store I used to work at sold them as "pecan picker uppers", and the competing product, the "nut wizard" There are bigger ones for apples, pears, etc.

If I had to guess, the one in OP is just a normal pecan model, perhaps with the price doubled and a "brass collector" sticker stuck on it.

'Nut Wizard' sounds like a prestigious title for a long-time masturbater.

Do I need to pop out the primers for max profits? I really thought I’d get the most by selling to reloaders, intredasting.

YMMV, I think.
My local recycling center normally doesn't care about primers. Once they did, and I told them the primer was brass too, it was just chrome-plated. They checked with a magnet, were satisifed there was no steel/iron, and then they paid me full brass price for it.

the problem with recycling centers is that often times their employees are morons, so don't plan on always being able to explain things to them rationally. If they get it in their head that the primers aren't brass then that will fuck over your value.

You'd definitely get a fuck ton more selling to reloaders than scrapping, it'll just be more effort to sort, sell and ship. Check out arf, boomer files, fucking etsy, castboolits, ect, to get an idea of what people are selling brass for.

Find out what local crap yards pay. Some do more than others.

Fucking brass jew

If you’re not going to pick up your brass and I’m staying out of your way then what’s the problem?

>I really thought I’d get the most by selling to reloaders

You will, but you have to ask yourself if the added labor is worth it. If you sell to a scrapyard the only thing they give a shit about is that the brass isn't obviously filled with dirt, and there's not steel case mixed in.

If you sell to reloaders they will care how clean the brass is, you will have to sort out different calibers from each other, you will likely have lots of common calibers that there is a ton of competition to sell, and so on. Then you have to advertise it, pack and ship it or arrange to meet people, etc. It's a lot more work on your part.

You usually are in in the way. You don't think you are. You aren't enough in the way that people tell you to move because they are polite, but yeah, you're in the way.

Not really. It's all a matter of making the right material that can withstand the right pressures when struck.
They make plenty of gun parts with plastic polymers and even torch handles. They when finally hardened, they can withstand a lot of heat.

Not every recycling place takes spent cartridges. Some places freak the fuck out about it.

you are severely underestimating the pressure and heat required to drive a projectile at 3000+ fps

Yeah they had a patch for that in another thread but I got the last one.

I do scrap metals as a secondary income and both of the yards I deal with refuse to take spent casings. If I had to wager a guess I'd have to pin it on a bad experience with a live round buried in there somewhere or paranoia about unburnt powder clinging to the cases.

I've considered melting and casting them into ingots and then taking them in but that sounds like a lot of work esp for ~ $1.40 a pound, plus it seems like it'd take a fuckton of brass to make a decent weight ingot.

>Got more time on your hands? dig the lead out of the berm
...and don't wait for a cease fire, just run up there and get the lead out.

Most ranges will let you pick up your own brass, but forbid scavenging other brass. I have been to ranges where homeless meth heads and broke-ass geezers scavenge brass, and I warn them to stay away from me and my gear.

Not mine. Sometimes after confirming that a shooter doesn’t need his brass I just take the bench to his right and collect brass as it lands at my feet.

Completely out of his way, I do my part to keep the range tidy, everyone wins. What’s with the h8

How... how would that make him any money?

>What’s with the h8

Lots of brass jews don't ask before vulturing your casings, they walk in front of the firing line, they get pissy when you keep your casings and in general make a dangerous ass of themselves.

Thoughts on the environmental impact? I’m not someone who thinks it will destroy the world but I am a little apprehensive about throwing thousands of pieces of plastic all over my land. If someone threw a ton of plastic bottles everywhere I’d be pissed, even if it’s just for the cleanliness.

why?
