guys,
i'm in the brass business and part of the process of recycling the brass is the recovery of unfired ammo.
in the course of a month to 6 weeks, i get enought ammo to package and sell "as is"....cheap/components only... ok in this process i get some 22rf ammo and i do the same with it. packaged in 2lb bags and sold cheap..it has rejects but mainly shootable. to the point that guys line up to buy it.
monday i picked up 4 full buckets of brass from an indoor range. we noticed a bunch of 22's in the mix. today we have finished sorting and ........there is over 40 POUNDS of 22 rf ammo. that is over TEN FULL BRICKS! it is over 95% one brand. i have no idea how anyone could scrap that much 22 ammo.
we have left it sorted, and will check for recalls. there was one 22 recall a yr or so ago. looks like i do not have to buy 22's for a while.....
