I don't want to hijack the thread from the OP, but this is still pretty much on topic. Is it worth trying to sell or trade pistol brass compared to scrap price and the amount of range brass already available? I get a lot of 9mm and 40, and a little 45. Other than that, I've gotten just over 100 38s after several weeks. Everything else is really sparse, onesie-twosie. I have already spent plenty of time sorting, but I'm thinking of not bothering anymore except to check for 38/357 and pulling out steel/aluminum and putting the rest to scrap in all cartridge sizes. I think I've really been wasting time sorting and making sure not to pick up damaged or rimfire brass on the pistol lanes. The big thing is that it is an outdoor range. I try to go weekly and pick up, but the stuff is still ugly and I know there is crap in some of the brass which I just haven't gone through yet.
I would still separate rifle brass and try to move that. Mostly bolt guns, so it doesn't get thrown all over the place and dirtied up as bad. Well, maybe not sort for 223, it seems too cheap as well as landing in uglier spots.
