no, cost of gas is to much to drive to the scrap yardI was getting some old cans ready to get scrapped the other day and saw a split case on the corner of my bench. Just wondering, anybody here save it to scrap out?
If I’m next to it anyway….no, cost of gas is to much to drive to the scrap yard
Don't forget to add spent primers to the bucket.At $1.50 a pound a fifty pound bucket of brass will bring $75.
Save enough spent primers and they may just pay for gas.cost of gas is to much to drive to the scrap yard
Jump to 9:35 for start ... Jump to 13:00 for finish (Don't say size doesn't matter )I want to see a black smith take brass case and make a brass knife

I take the damaged cases & squeeze the moths

don’t bring that to the airport. TSA will freak outI make key fobs out of brass that isn't structurally sound, but still pretty. The ones that don't make the cut, get hauled into our brass barrel at work

I use to pick up can in CA for $.10 a pop! I would go to the Frat bins at Stanford and go to town. When Security checked on me, I showed my college ID and I lived on campus and they could do NOTHING. We were so poor then, wife was at school there.Don't forget to add spent primers to the bucket.

I take the brass for scrap along with my trip for soda cans/plastic bottles for CRV so no extra cost of gas.
BTW, CA may consider doubling CRV redemption for brief moment so keep an eye on it while you save your cans/bottles. (My average trips with truckbed full net $150-$200 so double CRV could be $300-$400 ... That will get you a ABLP/Pro 4000 or big chunk towards Dillon 550C)
How many primers do you guys think for a pound?
