    Price Check on Swage Cores

    I picked up a bucket full of brass and stuff today and I am planning to sell off the stuff I can't use but I have no idea what this stuff is worth.

    If you can help me out with a value it would be greatly appreciated.

    The first ones have a note inside that says 198- 136gr cores .38



    The second ones have no note. There are 184 with a few that are swaged that measure .429" and weigh 220gr. The raw core weighs 200 grains.



    I fear that until a select few can profit from not treading on me, nothing will change.

    Yep! Value of lead per lb. is my estimate too. About $1/lb maybe a little more.

    I originally bought them for the lead but thought they might have been of more use to swagers.

    Guess I won't feel so bad throwing them in the pot then. I take it these should be treated as pure lead?

    Value of lead????? Not in my eyes. Those have some time put into them.

    I am currently looking for some cores that I do not have to make. I am one who would rather pay a little bit more than pay with my time (2 little ones). Unfortunately not looking for what you have.

    I recently purchased about 500 .429 cores and paid $20, in a heavier weight.
