Holy Moly scrap brass prices!

I had about 300 pounds of once fired range pick up brass in calibers I didn't use as well as berdan primed .308 cases. All good stuff but a pain to sell because people want large quantities of matching head stamps. Yesterday I started to fill up the trash can then decided to look up a scrap yard near by.
$1.82 a pound:) I had no idea scrap brass was going for so much.

I took 500Lbs to Phoenix in December. Got $2Lb for it....

Its actually down right now. I was getting $2.50 about 2 years ago.

I took 18 lbs. of damaged brass and spent primers in last summer and got $2.86 a pound. Yes the price of brass has gone down.

Last time I cashed in range brass I got enough for a pound of powder. Can't argue with that.

i like to trade for lead when possible ! when i bought a jeep once it was full of bags of aluminum cans ( smashed ) lead was low at the time and i took home over 3 times the weight of the cans ,now it's not as good but copper,brass,and aluminum are always worth saving ( and trading )

Ya know if a guy has enough of the mixed lots you wind up w/good matching head stamps ....... just saying I'd like to pay $2 lb for whatcha got 06'a smfrb at a time.

You think scrap brass brings some good prices, melt some range scrap and cash in the left over brass jackets!

[Harter66]

If your scrappers will take them .... mine wouldn't . I wound up boxing up 80 odd lbs and mailing it to a guy in Oh so he could swap for lead and pay me a buck a lb.

[DHurtig]

Scrap yards here will only take brass if it has been deprimed.

The Chinese are buying everything they can get their hands on right now. Metals are hot!

[bangerjim]

I use a lot of brass barsotck 1/4-3" sizes and that stuff is very pricy.

Used to get it for $1/#. Now it runs $4.50+ bucks a pound.

[Harter66]

They won't even take jackets out here.

[mold maker]

Haven't tried lately, but the last time they were glad to get my scrap brass, jackets and primers. I traded for lead and brought all I could haul (KIA) home.

In summer 2007 I got almost $5 a pound for scrap yellow brass. A couple of months ago I got $2.58 a pound. Good and bad, good when you sell, bad when you have to buy.
