.22 brass, what do you do with them?

[little_airwolf]

I shoot on my acreage and collect all the shells. I have boxes of the stuff. I've seen little trinkets made out of used brass.
Just wondering if you guys have seen anything else made out of them?
Can you melt them down or take them to a place to melt them down? Over 75lbs of the stuff should be used for something.

Scrap yard .. Some guys use them to jacket 223 projectiles

 

[shoot_to_kill]

I put all my used brass in a 5 gallon pail, gonna take it to the scrap yard eventually. Brass is $1.50/pound here.

 

[cyclops666]

I sell them to my local scrap metal yard once a year along with any other scrap metals I've amassed in the yard.
$2.05 right now

Darn over a $1 for 1 lbs, Doesn't recyclers not take brass ammo? That's what I've been told. So that's the reason why I have so much. lol
Any places in Calgary you guys can recommend?

Shred-a-can, Calgary metal or Navajo

Best to call all the scrap dealers because the price will vary widely and can change daily. I used to do a lot of scrap metal salvage in Calgary and always liked Miles at shred-a-can best.They're not far off Glenmore trail.

I put them on my cereal in the morning for some heavy duty roughage.

What? Nobody suggested leaving them in a schoolyard somewhere?

I just leave mine at the range or throw them into the brass bin for the range to scrap out!

The only place I know about that takes scrap metal in Saskatoon is Inland Steel.

I like putting them inside empty 9mm brass and handing them to my buddies who reload for 9mm.

Thats funny as heck! Back in my day, we had to pull the fire alarm to get out of school for maybe an hour. In these "days" , a couple empty 22 rounds would likely shut the school for a week lol.

Maybe the local scrap yard will make a you a good deal on lead?

 

[crosman177]

lead was 30 cents a .lb here in Calgary at the Ogden scrappers checked yesterday while bringing a haul of aluminum flashing in.
