A ton of brass-you gonna sell your house? A range I frequent saves all the brass and once a year ships a semi-full to sell-with a shotgun guard...that stuff's done got pricey.
Why military brass?Looking to buy 2,000lbs of 9mm Military brass for reloading, and I'm having trouble finding anything over 1,000 casings at a time other than the government liquidation site. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
They said it was because if it got stolen, it'd put them out of business...it was last year so I don't know the value of the load-it was valuable to them, at least.Actually, brass is very reasonable right now and easy to find. Scrap prices are very low too.
I don't know why they would need a guard watching over it.
It is a lot of brass. They would do better to sell it directly to reloaders. I believe there may be rules to prevent that though.They said it was because if it got stolen, it'd put them out of business...it was last year so I don't know the value of the load-it was valuable to them, at least.
I wonder when that changed. It's been forever since I went to Carter's but the one thing I liked about that range was the tons of range pick-up brass, roughly sorted, that was always for sale, cheap. If you were willing to spend a while picking over it you could grab, say, enough decent, same-headstamp 30-06 cases to keep a hunting rifle running until it was disposed of via your last will and testament.They would do better to sell it directly to reloaders.

I could be wrong too. I thought I read about it somewhere and it could be just LEO ranges.I wonder when that changed.

I found this googling: https://www.google.com/search?q=military+9mm+brass
...but a lot of the military's brass has been sold to China-so much that our commercial reloaders haven't been able to buy components enough to run. That's another area the shooting industry needs relief in.

One of the metal scrap yards in Killeen is one of the ones that get brass from Ft. Hood. Several years ago one of my customers said they will sell brass in 5 gal buckets. Never verified it though. I don't need that much brass.

The reason I ask is military brass is usually crimped primers. Many reloaders I know throw away 9mm crimped primer brass.Guaranteed once fired.
