I have 20lbs min. Is it worth selling on the EE or just scrap it.





A year of two ago I recycled another 20lbs and people were chiming in here that I should have sold it as they would reload it.



What are recycling centers paying for brass now in your area?



Thanks

Couple of people were interested in 308 Berdan brass about a year or so ago.

Screen names were Morning_wood and only1asterisk.

Maybe they will see this post.

I'm good on berdan .308 for now, thanks! But yeah, what's the headstamp on yours. I might be interested if it's really clean and dirt cheap Port or something.

I will never rival deej in the memory department.

That's why I had it written down in my ARFCOM notebook.

Just lucky to find the correct page.

I do not know head stamps as I dump them in coffee cans.

I also lost my link to the headstamp origin site. Does anyone have a link??

You don't have to go to the trouble of looking it up. Assuming you can get to them, just post the HS you have the most of. I'll know what it is.

+1 I've personally seen 'Wood's stash of 308 and 762x39 berdan primed cases.  Cases on the left and berdan primers from Wideners on the right.  Impressive! Looks like another little Brown Truck just arrived

But it's close...
