Free 22lr Brass

[jonp]

I have about 30 22lr I would give to anyone that wants them. PM me your name and address and I will put them in an envelope and mail it to you.

If no-one wants them I am going to throw them out.

Put them in a plastic container, start saving them when you come across them. If they are undamaged, you get like 1000, then you can sell them to some swager.

[jonp]

Yes, I could do that but I don't know how long it would take me to shoot that many 22lr these days. 20 or 30yrs ago I might do it in a month easy. I'm willing to send them to someone free of charge and I'll pay the postage. Thought someone might want them but I guess into the garbage they go!

Wait, wait.....

Even for 30, I'll PM

I've got about a hundred I'm saving. Love the idea of swaging 223, just cat bring myself to spend a grand on the setup.... yet. Got a few hundred more 22 rounds left to pop off so I can decide to sell or PIF the brass.

I'm guessing I don't have any Swaggers in my area. Cause I have a plentiful supply of 22 LRs cases being left at the ranges I go too. It's nothing to find a couple hundred any time I go brassing. Just wish someone would leave some 22 shorts they make great 45 grs!

You could always trim ;) as much as a pain it is, better to have something and cut it than not have at all! And still count the shaving as scrap, that's almost gold!

Yeah, me too! Really, I can hit any range & scoop up 500 undamaged 22lr cases in a few minutes. I need to find a Olympic shooter to befriend for 22 shorts.

Ok now as I have the same situation I can't scoop them up in a few minutes, it takes me 20 minutes to pickup 500 or so and then my back aches...so what is your secret?? I do have 1 range that has an indoor 22lr only range with a bucket that at sometimes does or does not have anything in it.

Bring a broom and one of those waste buckets they use at a movie theatre. Never bend over again!

Jon,

They came in today. Thank you. I'll make good use of them.

Doesn't work to well when picking out of the grass or gravel.......

I am currently sorting brass for sale for the local club here in Florida. I've already sorted about 3/4 of a five gallon bucket of .22 LR brass. I use .22 LR brass for swaging into .224 bullets, but I already have three buckets full that I brought last fall from Maine. That's at least a lifetime supply (I'm 62 now).

The club will otherwise take these to the scrapper, for cash. IF anyone is interested, I could box them up, and sell them to you for what the club gets for scrap, $2 a pound, plus shipping. Act fast, the bucket goes to the scrapper this week. PM me if any interest.

Get one of those grabbers. Picked up about 400 + pieces of brass today and never bent over!
