15 gallons of 9mm brass, 5 gallons of 5.56 brass

CLT65 · Dec 9, 2019

My son and I have been picking up brass at the range when we find it. We've accumulated 3 full five-gallon buckets full of 9mm, and one bucket full of 5.56 brass.

We rinse it clean, dry it, and check it over to sort out anything that looks questionable. There's no steel, aluminum, berdan, dinged up, or worn out brass.

$1.90/lb for the 9mm brass. This is less than $17 per 1,000. (We have about 250lbs)

$2.50/lb for the 5.56 brass. This is less than $35 per 1,000. (We have about 60lbs)

Thanks again for the brass. All looked great. Everything appeared to be once fired quickly glancing thru the 16#s.

Thanks again
James

Any guess on how many rounds per 5 gallon bucket?
pm me if you can do a volume discount for an entire bucket
thank you in advance

I just weighed a bucket, and it came to 86lbs net. At 115pcs per pound, that's just shy of 10k pieces per bucket. I can't really do a discount at this time, because I think it will all eventually sell at this price. I can round it down to $160 per bucket, and top them off with an extra pound or two, if that helps.

Do you still have 9mm brass available?

CLT65 · Feb 12, 2020

Yes, still have plenty

HI do you sort any of the 9mm by headstamp ?

No, sorry. That would take more time than I have available, especially for not much above scrap price.

In the past I have sorted some out by headstamp, for my own use. I'd sort out a couple hundred of one brand, wet tumble and load, looked like new ammo. Sorting through a 5-gallon bucket would be more than I'd care to tackle though.
