roughly a 113 cases per pound, I'll let you do the math.How much does 1,000 9mm cases weigh?
So they take spent primers?The price paid for scrap cartridge brass in Seattle today was $2.20 the pound.
I didn't have much to sell, mostly spent primers and damaged / worn out cases. Also some really old paper shotshell heads made of brass, after they were thrown in the fire to burn away the paper.
Well, they take them where I sell my recycling. After all, they are brass and used in cartridges, so "cartridge brass." And dust, there is X amount of dust that gets mixed in with spent primers. The recyclers get the dust too.So they take spent primers?
Those 8 jugs equal just shy of 100#s. I need em gone…
I've been taking my brass to Calbag lately and they actually pay a little more per pound for primers over the price of just brass cases FWIWSo they take spent primers?

Is CalBag paying more that Metro Metals for cartridge brass? I live 5 min away from Metro. My boy gave me 2 5 gal buckets 3/4 full of mixed. There's something in me that tells me it a sin to throw away usable brass though. It's a dilemma! But geeze, I already have a bunch of everything I shoot/load. And no one want's good used brass at half or less the price of new.I've been taking my brass to Calbag lately and they actually pay a little more per pound for primers over the price of just brass cases FWIW
That's an impressive amount of brass processing that resulted in filling those containers!So they take spent primers?

These were given to me by a friend. I've only filled up 2 (not pictured) so far.That's an impressive amount of brass processing that resulted in filling those containers!
Yes, they are offering so little because they are in an outlying area. They haul it to someplace like Pacific Iron & Metal in the Seattle industrial district where they get more than the $2.20 I got because larger amounts get a spiff over small amounts. Basically, the difference is transportation. You can save yours up for when you may have a trip to Seattle already planned. The VA is in the south end of town, that's when I take my recycling along. But I don't make a special trip for it. There is a Korean-owned recycling place nearer to me, they offer a fraction of what I get in Seattle. But I've seen Pacific Iron & Metal's green bins there that they haul it into town in.I called Braven metal's yesterday, they are paying seventy cents a pound for brass rifle and pistol cases.
I called Skagit Steel yesterday and they are paying eighty-five cents a pound for brass rifle and pistol cases.
