Sell it to someone local or sell it here on the EE.

It's more valuable to someone who reloads than it is as scrap. List it locally or on the ee

I'm not close to their range, but why not ask to be sure.
Sometimes what they mean is they don't want bimetal, aka steel, projectiles. It may not refer to the brass at all. |

Sometimes what they mean is they don't want bimetal, aka steel, projectiles. OK, still never found an explanation for this. Some people were saying it's hard to separate steel cases from brass for recycling/reloading ... other say doh, use a magnet. But I never heard why they don't want steel bullets. Please explain! |

At the NRA, I think they don't want you to use steel casings bullets. You can shoot steel cased ammo. I guess they are getting money for brass. Yup. I opened an ammo box and I have tons of brass...what can I do with it if I am not reloading? |

YES , perhaps I misunderstood but the rules are: No Steel Core, No Armor Piercing, No Tracer Rounds, and Shotguns with SLUGS Only!

The neighbors and Local Government would love to find a reason to close them down. Respect their wishes if you want to continue to have a range to go to.... no offense intended... |

I pick up all brass I can. Even 22lr. I reload some of the calibers.
Other gets tossed in five gallon buckets. About twice a year I take it to the scrap yard and sell it. Last time it was about $1.30lb. A full five gallon bucket is about 60 pounds. |

Freedom Munitions has a brass credit program. They give you a $2.50 credit for each pound of brass you ship to them.

Most steel cased ammo is also BiMetal jacketed, which is an alloy of copper and steel. not only will it eat up a barrel but it eats up backstops faster too. i've never been to an indoor range that allowed steel core or steel cased ammo.

It gets sold as scrap.
I pick up all my brass and the brass of others in a few select calibers if I have their permission and they don't reload. I am getting a press soon. |

Most indoor ranges dont want steelcase ammo because theyre too lazy to sort it out when they sell brass.
An outdoor range in houston, hotwells, ive seen 55 gallon drums overflowing with brass

I shoot NRA range all the time. Steel case and mild steel jacketed projectiles are fine.
Give the brass to a reloader or keep packratting it until you have enough to get some $ from a recycler, there is a scrap metal recycler in Sterling. ETA: They will ask to cut a bullet to verify that there is no steel-core penetrator in the projectile. They did this to some surplus 308 my buddy was shooting there a few weeks ago. A magnet won't work because steel jacketed bullets are allowed. We were a bit annoyed that they didn't give us the cut bullet back... |
