| I believe in the principle of Due Process  |
In the process of getting rid of possessions I no longer need or want, I see that I have anywhere from many hundred to several thousand 9mm brass in various states, from clean primerless to not clean, spent primer. Most are once fired but I can’t guarantee that. Is there any value to these? I accumulated these, intending to be regularly reloading but that dribbled to a halt years ago, before our move. Should I toss them? Take them to a nearby gun range? Sprinkle at properties in the path of devrlopment? Crime scenes? Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | ||

Donate them to a local member that reloads? SIG556 Classic P220 Carry SAS Gen 2 SAO SP2022 9mm German Triple Serial P938 SAS P365 FDE Psalm 118:24 "This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it" | |||

Of course there is value as a recycleable metal. At least donate them to a gun range or another shooter. Or sell them to a recycler. I dump my unwanted brass in the brass barrel at my shooting range. | |||

As long as there are no bullets the recyclers around here consider them clean brass and pay $1.10 per pound. If there are some bullets then they pay much less. | |||

I'd consider giving them to a reloader. He will value them more than as scrap, although brass has some scrap value. Surely someone near you could use a thousand-ish empty 9mm cases. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

Worse case recycle it, you should be able to get no less than a dollar per pound for it. First I'd try offering as karma to someone willing to meet you and pick them up. Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||

9mm fired brass is worth about three cents each and 1000 weigh about 9 pounds. It certainly has some value and is marketable. | |||

Some productive ideas here. Thanks. I do not know any local reloaders, so maybe some sort of karma might work. Let me do an inventory and see what there actually is.

if I lived closer I would bUy them off you, but the freight to ship them to Oregon would probably not be worth it, DANG I reload and could use them. | |||

In the course of inventory, I think I will stuff a “if it fits, it ships” boxes, and see hw many each the small and medium will hold.

It's worth its weight in scrap contaminated (unless you want to decap and clean every one) brass at a recycling yard. | |||

I'd be interested in a flat rate box full of 9mm brass. I'd gladly pay the shipping costs... | |||

| probably a good thing I don't have a cut |
My Dad used to mold his own bullets and reload them. He has thousands of 1 lb. lead ingots that he poured for use... some day. Last time I was home he finally admitted that he was never going to use any of it. And it's not just pure lead either, it's melted down wheel weights, linotype, spent bullets and what ever other lead he was able to scrounge up. What business would be interested in buying lead like this? Preferably some place in Texas close to Wichita Falls. | |||

| Member |
Scrap yards buy lead too. Call and ask them what they pay per pound. | |||

When I moved five years ago I took all my brass to the scrap yard. Got over $350 for it all. ----------------------------- Always carry. Never tell. | |||

I am in Austin and reload 9mm. I would be willing to pay something for some. NRA Benefactor Life Member | |||
