Nope.
All mine is on the range floor
 
My local range happens to be the FOP lodge and we have A LOT of brass as multiple agencies pay a nominal fee for regular usage.

I'm not sure of the numbers, but we sell thousands of pounds of brass per year. It is how we fund our expenses and monthly meals.

A couple of years ago we rebuilt our berm and Hoo-boy the scrap we excavated paid for our Christmas extravaganza.

Shhhhh....don't tell anyone I get my brass on the range before pickup! (wink)
 
just came back from the recycling yard

what work you speak of, tossing brass and primers into a pail...???

and taking a drive to the recycling yard, like 3/4's of a mile from my house..????

do you reload..???

i reload during the spring, (or summer), then in late fall, before my basement gets cold...at most maybe around 2,000 to 4,000 rounds for the year.

so a yearly trek to the salvage yard works for me...

others that reload many more thousands of rounds, may go more often, or save up pails of brass and go when they get like 100 + pounds or more.

thanks for the insult laughing towards me......

that was not meant as an insult, no, I don't reload, I probably wood if I knew what I was doing and had the equipment.

I also don't shoot close to that number of rounds a year.

Couple of the ranges I go to don't allow policing the brass, they keep it. And, I let them clean it up.

:cry::rolleyes:(y)

I tried to give this brass away but nobody i know reloads. It would be kinda pain going through it too. There is a lot of it in many calibers

take all that mixed caliber brass

shovel them up, put them into pails, cash them in.

brass prices fluctuate day to day.

you could either buy enough seeds to replant your forest

or

provide a tree surgeon to bandage up the ones you kill.
 
I seem to remember my wife taking a 2 gallon ice cream tub full of brass to a scrap yard several years ago.

I think she got 40 bucks for it.

After time I seem to remember Blazer Brass selling for $11.95 a box.

So she ended up getting three boxes of Blazer for 2 gallons of used brass.

My grandson-in-law is an idiot. He doesn't ever pick up brass. I could probably go down to the shooting range at the back of the property and get a 5 gallon bucket. I might ask my wife today if brass is worth anything and if I should do that.
