Why not get some volunteers to sort that brass, and offer it up for sale here? I'm betting you'll get far more than scrap value. One club I'm a member of sells the brass off the range to reloaders....

(Now-Former) boss of mine was asking where he could get some round balls for his cap & ball revolver, since nobody local seems to have any in stock. Next day I showed up with some at work. He asked...

Ah...38 special brass. I have had 6 .38 sp brass split in 12 years of reloading. They were ALL nickel plated, bought in the 1980's and reloaded by a local gun shop, with full wadcutter loads before...
I use Titegroup for .380 ACP, 9mm Luger, .38 Special, .357 Magnum. I do that because I like to use a single powder for many things. I never run full-power loads in any of them. However, Titegroup...

I don't *really* need it, but: my lead stash is low. I haven't had any free time during this pandemic, as I work in IT Cloud operations for some medical providers. I've worked 100+ hours this week,...
As a landowner, I think it would be nice if someone simply asked. We had issues in the past of going to the hunting spot on opening day to find someone else occupying our treestands! I've had...

When faced with that type of situation, go in prepared. Have a list of free proxy sites, such as http://free-proxyserver.com/ These sites will allow you to bypass the blocking. However, most...

Depending on which direction you are calling "east," I may be able to lend a hand as well. My mother lives in Altoona, and I will be in that area for a good bit to do some work on her house.

I agree with this, which is why I was looking at .22 anyway. My stock is getting low, because I keep giving it to folks who are trying to teach a youngster to shoot. My stock is below 1000 rounds...

I didn't give her time to respond, as I was walking away at that point. I don't believe she said anything, anyway. Just stood there with a look on her face like she was trying to figure out who I...

We had our town-wide yard sales last weekend. I saw one house with anything gun related -- 3 of the 525 packs of .22LR, priced at $60 per. I offered $60 for all 3, and the lady kind of chuckled. ...

Yes, I guess it helps that the barrel on my 9mm is .357, and my mold drops them at .358. Like I said before, what works for one person, may very well not work for another. I try to stay proficient...

I've had people tell me that as well. I load both 9 mm for me and .380 Auto for my wife. I've gotten a lot of free brass from folks who don't like loading "those tiny little cases." To each his...
Nice hammer. However, I always use short pieces of Hickory, recovered from broken sledge hammer handles. Last handle I broke, I got about 3 pieces from. I am still using the first. I cut them...

If you'd care to swap, I'd be willing to trade some range pickup .40 for range pickup .380. I'm not sure what the going rate is though...

I will have to check out Norton Sporting Goods when we go through in July. We will be taking my step daughter back to her dad's, so we should have some free time on the way back.

I replaced the wiper assembly in the van, replaced the rear wiper motor, and rewired a tail light. Should pass inspection now.
For a gift, I got a membership to a local shooting range.

In addition to Fin Feather Fur Outfitters (make sure you hit the Ashland location, the Canton location is not nearly as good), make sure to hit Hartville Marketplace flea market.

Chop them up, wrap in foil with some cut up potatoes, garlic, and some butter. Grill until the potatoes are tender. Grilled Leek Home Fries. You could substitute bacon drippings for the butter.
