There's a new scrapyard in my area. Closer to me than the one I used to go to, not as much of a PITA to deal with and usually a few cents better on price. Today I had 32# of mostly cartridge Brass and 23# of scrap jackets which they took as #2 Copper. I had cleaned off the black crud that it seems prone to after going through the smelter so it showed the copper color. I asked if they would take the same stuff if I brought it in in the blackened condition. The old place didn't want it at all these guys don't care what color it is.
Walking around money for a gun show tomorrow.
