How to deal with empty cases if you don't wanna reloading?

Many clubs will collect and sell to help offset cost of memberships can range upgrading cost.

pick em up, and store them in a 5 gallon bucket, when the bucket is full take them to a metal scrapper and get 30-40 bucks

I save mine, but I'm not entirely sure why since it's 7.62x25 and I haven't found any dies for it yet. Maybe I'm just hopeful

Save it all!! If you don't want to reload someone else may be able to use it, OR, the last time I got rid of scrap brass it was worth 1.37 a pound. A hundred pounds of berdan primed and garbage brass was worth 137.00. Now brass is around 2.00 a pound...

Just don't drop an unfired round into the mix as problems may occur during smelting

My range has a collection box for spent brass which they sell to fund youth programs. If it's unsorted or .22 I'll dump it in there, if relatively well sorted I'll usually leave it out near the collection box in case a reloader wants to grab it (if I fill a whole box with spent cases of a specific caliber, for example).

$143 for dies will buy 1140 rounds... Why WOULD you reload 762x25?

 

[LordEvilPepper]

Because the surpluss stock wont last forever.... And it will eventualy pay for itself.

and were are you getting a creeate of ammo for 140? It costs me over 250

I make a habit of picking up all spent brass at the range. Coffee can full is worth about 10 bucks at the scrap dealer.

Actually if someone want to buy them, the cases are free to collect at the range - all of calibers. including S&W 50 Mag

depending on the price, I'd be interested in some "cost effective" 500 S&W Mag brass...
