Re: Brass recycling....
I too have a lot of brass that needs to be recycled. Mostly 223 that has been reloaded many many many times. I have heard of recycling places want the primers removed. Anyone run into this?

Re: Brass recycling....
I have been taking my brass to a scrap yard for years.
I have never had them tell me to remove the primers.

Re: Brass recycling....
hey john, the place up on 19th ave that rottie spoke of is also where i was about 4-5 weeks back too.
i rolled in with a bunch of haggard 308 machine gun stuff that was toast from my browning. think he said 155 lbs and we walked with $280 somehow. dunno... i wasn't complaining.


i am not sure what the price per pound is up there but i always remembered it being around $1 give or take. dont think it was 255 lbs that we had though.

Hey Hansen, Sent you a PM. I'd hate to see good brass just get scrapped. When it could actually be reloaded by someone.

It's on 36th street by the railroad tracks.
I like going there so I can look through the scrap yard for any metal I could use.
