    Either that or the price of Scrap Steel just went through the floor.

    Be nice if it was better, but it could be worse

    smokejoe--If you get that much for just the clips---think what you'd get if you took the whole wheel when you are removing the wheelweights.

    Yesterday I took a coffee can full of spent primers, .22 rimfire cases and a few split neck of various calibers. It was a little over 17 pounds and I got $20, brass is $1.15 a pound at the scrapyard I took them to. The guy ahead of me had 300 pounds of once fired Lake City '06 brass, it seems like a shame to scrap perfectly good brass.

    Ken, that would have been the time I brought more brass back from the scrap yard than I took in!

    I hear you! I shoot weekly CMP Garand matches at our club, and we charge $10 for the 56 rounds to shoot the match, I cant reload it for that. The ammo is LC72, in the en-bloc clips and bandeleros. So... I have about a bushel of once fired cases, and about the same of clips. I figure thats where the ammo came from, someone shooting our matches, and decided he had enough. I think he could have done better by ebaying the stuff.
