Alan - do yall sell that brass?
I am always on the lookout for .223 and American brass-cased 7.62 X 39mm.
We fill about two 5 gallon buckets a night in brass at Red's. Sometimes we will snag the rare stuff like FN 5.7 for some customers that reload it. Usually when I sweep the range I look for people using their own ammo and ask if they are chasing their brass. Usually a few "extras" get sent their way if someone happens to be shooting next to them in the same caliber.
We sell it to someone, just not sure who.
What kind of prices are people getting for recycling brass right now?
It depends on the scrap dealer, but lately I've seen prices ranging from $1.25 to $1.85 a pound for scrap brass. You usualy have to call around to get the best price and it changes almost daily with the market.
Some dealers won't take cases with primers still in them, others want them smashed flat, and some will take them as is.
edited to include: If you remove the primers, take them along, they're brass too! Every little bit helps.
