After unloading my truck at the scrapyard I went to the shed where aluminum and other separated metals are collected. I asked about lead, got a 44 pound bucket of roof stacks for 12 cents per pound. Looking around I saw 2 buckets of 223/556 brass. Asked what they would sell for. Sit them on the scale and we'll see, $40. At home I separated them by headstamps 223, 556 and foreign 556. Then inspected flash holes with a pin light. Got 3 1/2 gallons of 223, 1 gallon of 556, 3 gallons of foreign. 2 gallons of berdan primed and Perfecta cases will be returned to the scrapyard on my next visit.
Got my 3 tumblers going with walnut media before going to the press.
