Scrap brass prices?

[Rich219]

What is the going price per pound for scrap brass? I have a bunch of pistol cases I'm thinking of taking to the recycler.

I just went tonight hoping to score but no. I picked up about 30 reloadable casings. spent about 20 min picking up .22 casings for the recycler and got about 3-4 lbs.

Last time I took brass in i got about $1.90

I took my scrap box down and got 1.50/lb saturday. Found out they can no longer sell to the public anymore.

I'd sell to other reloaders but no one seems to interested in .40 SW or 9mm these days.

lgbloader needs 40 sw. look him up in the reloading area.

Topped off both my scrap buckets today and called the smelter: $1.95 per pound delivered across their scale.

I weighed and I have about 120 pounds saved back right now- berdan, worn-out, corroded, split or crushed ammo cases, spent primers, old keys, faucet parts, brass stripper clips, etc.

Somebody broke their brass cleaning rod at the range and stuck it in the trash. It came home with me. It's brass.

$1.50 in VA

About 1 month ago I took a bunch of aluminum to the local scrapyard in Virginia Beach. Since I was going anyway I took my bad brass cases and spent primers. They weighed 5 lbs and they give $1.50 for yellow brass. Of course only got $7.50 but better than throwing them out.

Wish I got close to $2.00 per pound like some of you do.
