5gal bucket of random brass

[Pistol boy]

Do you guys think $75 is a good deal for a 5 gallon bucket of random pistol brass? Thanks in advance for your advice.

How much does it weigh ?????

To sell mixed brass, lowers the price, in my opinion .....

The person who buys it, has to sort it,

and then seperate, what is useable, what they can use,

and sell, or dispose of the rest .....

JMHO ..... YMMV .....

Again MY opinion, I would not pay that price .....

I agree with the above.

Is it mostly pistol or rifle?
If it's just random range pick up, I would assume its mostly 9mm and/or 223
I think $50-60 is reasonable if you can find a motivated buyer (maybe a new reloader?) that wants to stock up their brass collection.

1.05lb is current scrap price in my area.

It's worth that in scrap easy. If you sift and sell off rifle and bigger pistol you could make another fifty. If it's 9,40,223 just scrap it.

It's from an indoor range. And only pistol cal allowed to shoot there. But I'm sure there's some steel cases and 22s. I really only want the 380 9 and 45.

Sift out what you need and the steel and scrap it.

After you take out all of what you want (which will be most of whats there) it will be hardly worth the effort to haul out for scrap.

I think I'm going to take a chance and pick one up tomorrow. The scrap price by where I work is 1.10lb. So I don't have to drive far to get rid of what I don't need. Thanks for the advice guys. I am in need of brass and takes forever to pick up. This should hold me over for a while. I will let you guys no if it was good or bad investment. Thanks again.

Come on man I can't send pm's yet. Hook it up? I am in North West Indiana though

If it actually is boxer primed brass then it's worth something, not $75 though.
If it's just random brass picked up by kids there is too much steel and berdan in it.

Your telling me. I can't wait, longest week ever lol. But I do like the idea of it.

 

[Pistol boy]

Well guys and gals I think I got a deal. Ended up getting a 7 gallon bucket for 65 bucks. Weighed in at 97lbs with the bucket. Whent through maybe 1/3 of it not much steel and 22 at all. This will hold me over for a while.

Going rate for indoor brass around here is about $50 a bucket.
The last one we got haf a bunch of 9's 45's a handful of 380 ,40, 38 and 357. With quite a few 22's thrown in

 

[throttletony]

I guess i misunderstood your OP.
I thought you had wound up with a bucket o' brass and were wanting to sell it.
Clarification never hurts.

 

[Pistol boy]

Sorry for the confusion I do see what you mean. I deff should have got one a long time ago. I got it at Blythes in valpo. I didn't no what they go for. It was so worth it for me as I've been reloading for only about a year now and didnt have much brass. Next I need to stock up on 223 and 308.

 

[ru44mag]

Any .44 special brass in the mix??

 

[Pistol boy]

Just 44 mag 38 special 357mag 45acp 10mm 9mm s&w40 380. Mainly 9mm and 45

 

[Fullmag]

357mag, 10mm and 44mag brass is higher priced brass. If you weren't so far away I'd be interested in 357 brass.

 

[Pistol boy]

Well I'm going to keep it for awhile. I have no use for it. Shoot me a pm if your ever up this way I would practically give it away
