Used Brass - Any value????

Maalox
I did a search but did not find anything. Could be my poor search skills.

Does used handgun brass have any value? I have 2-3 ammo cans full of used .45, 9 mm and some misc spent brass. In the past you could send it to commercial ammo reloaders and get a credit against the price of new ammo. I don't think anyone is currently doing that. Is it worth more than the shipping cost in this market?

    Mostly It is sold sorted and cleaned on the auction side. A year ago when I moved from TX to Fl I gave away 3 5gallon buckets of pistol range brass.

    My buddy called it Man vs. Brass and spent a month or so sorting and cleaning all of it.

    It's worth about a buck a pound for scrap. I just turned in about half a 5 gallon bucket and got almost $40 for it.

    Check with your local recycle shop. Some buy it, some don't. It's about $1.60 per lb here.

    I have at least 20 5 gallon buckets of range brass. Most separated by caliber. Sure messes with the eyes.

    I use the brass for trading material.

    I'd love to have about 4 or 5 five gallon buckets of mixed 9mm and .380 brass to sort though...NOT! That stuff will drive you nuts. :shock:

    I went and checked and I have 15 pounds of sorted used brass. About 9#s is .45, 4 #s of .223, 1 # each of 9mm and 380. Found a local recycler paying $1.30 per pound. Plan to go see him next week.

    Thanks again for the info.

    I've never shot at a 'shooting range' .. only field shooting. Since I no longer bother to reload any ammo (sold my reloading equipment about 10 years ago) never bother to pick up spent casings.

    List it on the auction side, let me know where it is listed and I will buy 9mm and 45 all day for the right price.
