It could come in handy to sweeten a trade for something else but it's kind of difficult to get any amount of cash for something that basically grows on trees. It must grow on trees I find it laying all over in the woods. You could also gift it to someone just starting out in reloading or to a 300blackout enthusiast for repurposing.I reload 45-70 but not 5.56, and since sold my ar15 but I've collected around 500 brass casings, they're federal brass and it just seemed like a waste to throw away so I'm curious if this is something I can list for sale? And if so should I clean and deprime the brass before selling?

Come see me when you do I have some .223 brass for you lol. It's like zucchini in August.Good option. I wish I had kept mine, now that I added a .300BLK to the rotation. And reloading is in my future. Soon.

Yeah...Between the zucchini bread in the freezer and the .223 & 9mm mm brass in the work drawers, there's not a lot of room left around here.Come see me when you do I have some .223 brass for you lol. It's like zucchini in August.
It's not that it's a ton of space it's just unnecessary wasted space, I personally wont be reloading 5.56 anytime soon, I'm going to give it to a friend that does reload 5.56, thank you everyone for your responses and adviceReloading .223 is mostly relegated to 3-gun shooters, which was a growing sport but around here probably only represents 100 or so folks. Anyway, does 500 pieces take up enough space for you to not just keep them around?
Here is an enigma seemingly related to that; I have been looking for a (bargain) used 9mm die set for years without success. Oh, I have found a few but usually at gun shows wanting new price or even more. 9mm seems to be one die either no one owns or ever sells. I have found all manor of other calibers including many hard to find wild cats for very reasonable prices but 9? what's up with that?I had about that many and tried to give them away here at NWFA. I finally ended up recycling them as nobody showed interest. Seems like the bigger bore brass has some value but stuff like 9mm and 5.56 is so cheap to buy these days that nobody cares that much to reload them.
Short memories around here. Four years ago you couldn't find any 223/5.56 anything to save your life, or any other reloading components for that matter. I happily paid $46 to get 1000 pieces of once fired 223/5.56 range brass delivered to my door.
Actually, 3-gun is the one .223 I don't load for. I do the p-dog stuff and longer range precision heavy pills.Reloading .223 is mostly relegated to 3-gun shooters, which was a growing sport but around here probably only represents 100 or so folks.
