Value of bulk brass?

[TJ82525]

So, I used to give all brass that I don't reload to a couple of friends, but it's adding up faster now, so...... what's the value? Trade or cash??

I shoot a bit, and currently have a full 5 gal bucket, and about another half full, and adding to them a couple of times a week or so. Mixed brass, mostly 9mm, 10mm, 556, 300aac, and various bits of others. Not cleaned or anything. Full bucket is a little over 50 lbs.

It all depends on who needs it. 9mm and 556 are easy to find and collect. 10mm and 300 are less common. I'd would do a little search for new brass and do 50-75% of that depending on type of brass.

If you're not wanting it, I'll gladly take it off your hands. Even provide a replacement bucket.
As for the value, it's worth whatever feel it's worth to you for your time/effort.

I have a couple of people I can give it to, but as it's adding up much quicker lately, I figured I might as well get something out of it.

It's a good question, "what's it worth?"

$2.40 a pound at the local recycling yard. Fifty pounds would get you $120.
I "gave away" about a gallon of mixed, dirty .223/5.56 brass a couple of years ago for $10. I knew it was worth more than that, but I wasn't going to use it and basically let someone buy me lunch at McDonalds for my time.
I've been saving up all of my .223/5.56 and 9mm brass with plans to potentially do the same thing again, cuz I'm not likely to want to reload any of it.

Nothing wrong with wanting something for your time. Let me know when or if you want to let some go and we can work something out.

Ok, just weighed it all. A bucket full is actually about 80 lbs. Currently have about 140 lbs. It is available for sale or trade if there's a reasonable offer. Obviously cash is good lol, but open to most anything firearm related, as long as something I can use. Brass content value at the recycling yard is about $330.

If no decent offer, no worries, I'll post it in the classifieds section soon. Not in a hurry to get rid of, it's just sitting here, and gets added to every few days or so.

If the recycling yard is offering $330 bucks, take it.
Trying to sell all that brass piecemeal would be a headache.
