Swimming in Brass

[alfsauve]

A easy way to get rid of the steal and brass plated steal cases is a pick up magnet sold at hardware stores to pick up nails from the ground. 

I have mine attached to the lid of my vibratory case cleaner.   its not missed  one yet, but even if it did I alway inspect/sort the brass as step 2.  So I would find it then.

I had never seen an S&B brass coated steel case until last night.   I recovered one of my super magnets from a disk drive and plunged it into the latest batch of brass.   "KLUNK".   It looks like brass.    Can't resize it, or it'll get stuck in the press.   Never saw one before.

I had already hand-picked the regular steel junk out, but I'll definitely do the magnet test in the future.   I'll give thought to mounting it in the lid of my vibrator, too.

The range where I RSO has buckets full of brass for sale. Can't get rid of it around here, so we boxed some up in a medium sized Priority Mail box (flat rate  ) and we're going to put it on eBay. We even dropped the price to $5 per 100 for .45ACP, 9mm, etc. Amazing how many people around here do not reload. Even the guy shooting the FN 5.7. I now have soooo much of every caliber I need.

We also recycle buckets of .22, .25 Takarev, Wolf, Blazer, etc.

If I were you I'd take that to a scarp yard.  Brass is ~$2/lb   It adds up quick.  I took 4 brute cans full of copper cut offs and removed copper pipe and walked away with almost $7k  THis was a few years ago when the price of copper went nuts, but still thats alot of  "found cash"

257 weatherby mag??

 I have 200 rounds of 45colt I bought as new empty brass during the Clinton years. They have been loaded 6 or 7 times each and are still in great shape.
 Range rules where I shoot are any brass that is left behind is fair pickings for anyone wanting it, I have collected  hundreds of 9mm, .40S&W and .45acp empty brass. Scrounging range brass can be an addiction, be careful because if you pick it up you will want to reload it.

Um, no, sorry, it is a pistol range only. Possibly at the outdoor ranges, but they're under a foot of snow at the moment.

.........., be careful because if you pick it up you will want to reload it.

I've found out I'm not the only one who's done this.   Collected brass for a caliber of which I don't own a gun.  Actually reload some of it, then tell the wife that I HAVE to go buy that gun cause I have all this ammo loaded.


Works for me.
