Went down to junk yard with a 5 Gal. buket full of wheel wt. clips,Last time got over $10.00 for the bucket full,Today same pail full I got $1.95, They must of paid me to much last time but its a way of getting rid of them. Smokemjoe

Either that or the price of Scrap Steel just went through the floor.

smokejoe--If you get that much for just the clips---think what you'd get if you took the whole wheel when you are removing the wheelweights.

Carpetman, I can always rely on you for some "off-beat" humor! I really appreciate it.. and I was NOT influenced by your new avitar! Honest I wasn't ! :)

Yesterday I took a coffee can full of spent primers, .22 rimfire cases and a few split neck of various calibers. It was a little over 17 pounds and I got $20, brass is $1.15 a pound at the scrapyard I took them to. The guy ahead of me had 300 pounds of once fired Lake City '06 brass, it seems like a shame to scrap perfectly good brass.

Ken, that would have been the time I brought more brass back from the scrap yard than I took in!

Ken, if that was me behind the guy with the 300lbs of once fired lake city brass I'd be filling a couple 5 gallon buckets and asking the dealer hoiw much??. Been there and done that. Frank

I hear you! I shoot weekly CMP Garand matches at our club, and we charge $10 for the 56 rounds to shoot the match, I cant reload it for that. The ammo is LC72, in the en-bloc clips and bandeleros. So... I have about a bushel of once fired cases, and about the same of clips. I figure thats where the ammo came from, someone shooting our matches, and decided he had enough. I think he could have done better by ebaying the stuff.
