The cleaning out of the reloading room.

I have a recycle company come out to take used brass. It pays less but I'm out of town and they pay for the gas and do all the work. I usually have a couple of 20 gallon drums and a half dozen 5 gallon pails

It would be a shame to dump a lot of re loadable brass. The last batch I had, I put into 100 count bags and gave them away at a couple of gunshows.

Pay it forward on that stuff, especially if it's in hard to find or desireable types.
 
If he's like me there is no usable brass left. I won't leave it in the barrel at the range because I know some brass hunter will pick it up and un-knowningly try and load that brass for the 31st. time....

Who gave you any indication that it is "reloadable"?


I keep hearing about "reloadable brass" but those who actually reload know that there is waste metals from rimfire, warn out cases, damaged cases, corroded cases, partial cases, trimmings from cases, not to mention pails and pails of cheap/lowest quality 9mm and .223 brass . Often half of it is from machining, recycling, and locksmithing.


People do a lot more assuming than actual thinking.

Your fellow reloaders either know better or are about to learn better.

Show me where in his post that he stated it isn't

Good grief, I've had up to 5 fifty five gallon drums of ''reloadable'' brass at a time, not for a long time though.

It's easy to accumulate if you shoot, reload a lot. Maybe not in Edmonton (NDP/PPC Republic) though
 
I'm cleaning out the reloading room because I'm moving out of this leftarded city. It is all reloadable brass, some has never been used (yet). I have about 45 years worth, so when I kick off someone is going to get a great deal. Any scrap is being culled as I go, but there isn't much of that, as I do that in the reloading process. Now I need to find more milk crates and some longish plastic bins for presses. Next reloading room will have ground floor access. In this house, I wish I hadn't walled up that coal chute, would come in handy right about now. The bullets will be difficult, that is a lot of weight, hence my looking for ideas to make it easier. - dan

Pay a couple young bucks with brass �� or bullets. That’s going to be allot of stuff to move no matter how you go about it.

I think they make appliance hand trucks that can climb stairs.

Some 20L plastic pails might be useful for the presses.

My turn will be coming soon enough but I have lathes/milling machines, pedestal grinders etc. My 14x26 shop is cluttered after the few years without gun shows to dispose of excess. Just over a year ago, I gave away two five gallon buckets of 9x19 and 38spl cases.
 
Find some young shooters who need brass and bullets at a good price, and are strong enough to move the pile.
