Copper scrap is about $4.35 a pound due to skyrocketing prices. Looks like you have over $350 of scrap there.

If they are not BT bullets and seeing as they are not of known origin. Someone would also have to handle them all one by one to make sure they were FULL of lead. I would say they could bring about $35.00 per 1000. Maybe just a little more if you can find the right buyer. Thats about 1/2 of what I can get the best 55 grn FMJBT bullets for. Yes you can tumble them to shine em up. Or put them in that Lemmishine stuff.

You might want to check and make sure the Cannalure is in the right place. They almost look like they could be 62 grn. Will a magnet pick one up?

You bought bullets.
Bulkheads are structural members in boats, airplanes, and buildings. |

Someone with a lead furnace might be able to pour their own lead into those empty jackets.
Not sure if it would work or not, but it might be worth a try. |

You might check out the Swaging forum over on castboolits.gunloads.com for feedback on the jackets - some of those guys might jump on the chance.

did i say i bought bulk heads or bullet heads? The title of your post is BIG score on military bulk heads
I feel it is best practice to use technical terms when discussing technical subjects on a technical forum. No disrespect intended, but there is no need to dumb yourself down, even when talking with friends. It is appropriate to use the term projectile to refer to bullets, and loaded rounds, loaded cartridges, or ammunition to refer to loaded ammunition. I pretty much turn off my ability to appreciate discussion and conversation when people use terms such as "bullet heads." jonblack |

Pretty neat!.
You may want to weigh them out. Get a digital scale and sort them the best you can. That is unless you are just gonna use them for blasting ammo. |

OP.
Are these 55gr or 62gr projectiles? Can you get a close up picture of one of them? I agree that you can sell them for $40-50 per 1000. I say this because there is a reason they were told to destroy them. If they were setting up the machines and some came out with no lead this means the were calibrating the machines and getting them setup properly, so those projectiles can be full of defects. They were told to destroy them because the projectiles couldn't be trusted to be 100%. If you sell them for $40 per thousand you are still doubling your money. Also if they are 55gr M193 projectiles I can go to hi-tech and get guaranteed quality ones for $50 per 1,000 so if you dont sell lower there is no reason to buy them from you. |
