Hey all, I'm a gun owner/shooter and was wondering if there is any value or worth to brass shell casings on the scrap market? Any thoughts or experience?

Looking for a great summer read?? Stop by www.glennrambo.com You think the US/Mexican border is bad now??

Most places I know of will give you brass prices for them. Around here that is 1.00 a pound.

scrap the .22 casings

otherwise better off to sell to a reloader or gun shop for more than just scrap price

I save the rimfire ones for scrap. The centerfire are worth more to reloaders as alone said above. This is assuming the centerfire ones are still in good usable condition.

Do gunstores that have their own shooting ranges buy them? Seems like they would have an endless supply of ones on the gun range floor

I used to deal with a shop that would give me a discount on new boxes if I brought in the brass from the last one.

Are you throwing that out?

As mentioned scrap the rimfire, reload/sell/trade the rest.

What calibers do you have?

PennySaved, most ranges I've been to allow you to keep your own brass but they do keep and sell any left behind. Some require you to sweep up everything you plan on leaving and place it in a bucket or whatever. If you are going to go through that much trouble you might as well keep it. I always take an empty cardboard box or two whenever I shoot. Sometimes I forget and have to just pour the brass in one of my range bags.

Deal

Live free or die.
Plain and simple.

"If you love wealth more than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, depart from us in peace. We ask not your council or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains rest lightly upon you and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen."
- Samuel Adams
