Ebay? I thought they didn't allow gunstuff anymore. I'll look into it. Thanks!

They have only restricted what they call "assault weapon" related items ... you can still list other items ...scopes, brass, etc etc .... |

I save all my brass till it can't be reloaded anymore. I crush the shoulders with a hammer when I feel it's reached the end of its service life. I don't want anyone else getting a hold of brass I feel isn't good anymore.

I may start to save my AR brass, but my Robarms M96 puts a huge dent in the side of the cases, I don't think it's good to reuse those in that condition, but I'm no reloader.

I reload and don't even save my brass. I can get 1k .45 brass cleaned for $35 shipped. I hate doing the chicken-head.

Be damned careful with used brass, Kiddo. It can still be dangerous. The best thing to do with this stuff is turn it ito the proper disposal specialists. Piccolo Enterprises will take this dangerous shooting residue off your hands for no charge on an occasional basis. Email or IM me for the proper proceedure. Be Safe! |

My .22 has a range of 5 miles.
Even if the plane came down under mysterious circumstances, I'm not sure they'll search a 5-mile radius... . |

Turn all your 9mm and .45 ACP brass over to your friendly BlammO recycling center. It will go to good use!

I never save my brass. I recall that it was common practice, while over in Korea, to throw your spent casings at the adashi who followed you around for scraps. We were a bit cruel, but we made sure he was the only one getting the goods. Heck, if he wasn't around we save them 'til he showed up.
Adashi made a lot of $$$ off us. |

You can reload it no problemo, I reload fired cases from HK91-type guns that a little ding on the side from hitting the ejection port. |

The thing about someone else's brass is, you never really know how many times it's been used. Whatever you do, don't throw it away. Brass is one of the more valuable reclyceable materials, (not that it's worth alot though), so at the very least, throw it in someone's recycle bin. It's not going to do anyone any good at the bottom of a landfill.

I send mine to the recycle center after I get a couple of 5 gal buckets, I dont make much but If I pay for 100 rds of ammo, then it was worth the space and time to do what was right in the first place by picking up my mess.

I pick up my brass when I police the range before leaving, but I chuck everything except the 7mm Mag ammo (i.e. 9, 45, .223 and .308). I doubt I will start reloading again anytime soon, and if I do I don't think I would bother with the common military calibers. I would shoot my 7mm and my old bolt guns more if I did reload again.

Thats just a drop in the bucket! Why anyone throws away perfectly good brass is beyond me. I try to scoop up any of the expeded brass I can from range qual ; I dont get much of it reloaded because I simply can't afford to get it ALL reloaded, but I try to get a few thousand cases a year reloaded; saves a bit on the cost.The rest of the casings accumulate in sheds and in the garage til I can get around to them. |

I pick up as much of my brass as I can. Shooting outdoors, you never can find all of it. Leaving it lying around seems rude and wastefull.
I don't pick up any brass from other shooters. I sell the stuff to a gunshop owner each fall, and I get a good price because it is obvious that it is all once fired stuff that he does not have to sort through. Whatever is not reloadable goes in a seperate pile. Haven't done anything with that at this point. |

My local PD gives me all thier brass after qualifying. I got more .223, 9mm, and .40 than I know what to do with, but rest assured the well will never run dry.

I have permission to shoot in a private sand pit and the only thing they ask in return is that I keep the place scrupulously clean. I have bags and bags of brass that I have to sort through at some point. Some is once-fired good quality that I'm giving to a friend and the rest will likely go to be recycled.

Always save my centerfire brass (if I can find it). Even the corrosive berdan primed milsurp stuff. Empty .22lr brass on the other hand.........
If I find some 'odd' brass that others have left I might take a piece or two for the collection. Don't have any burning desire to own a pistol in .357Sig or .400 Cor-Bon but finding a few loose empties at the raange was neat. |

Pick up everything I can find. Only right to clean up one's own mess. Will ask others, if present, if they want to give me their reloadable brass.
Save the reloadable stuff; recycle the rest. If you don't reload, then someone you know probably does. Makes fair trading wampum, too. |

I save all my 223 brass. I only reload pistol but save the 223 anyway. Have thousands of rounds stuffed in large ziplocks. Maybe one of these days will try reloading for the AR.

I have been saving brass for about 15 years, but only started reloading about 10 years ago.
I have a -BUNCH- of brass. BTW, I will buy fired 26.5mm aluminum flaregun cases for $0.25 each. These are the Czech type flares. Balming |

I save what I reload the rest is left to the range buzzards that pick up any brass they see.
Ever had someone try to steal your brass while you are standing right next to them shooting? |

I try to recover my brass. especially the .45's
As an aside... I'd like to know what %-age of you American shooters reload/handload your ammo. My guess is that because of volume perhaps ammo in the US is cheap enough that reloading, for many just isn't worth the bother.... Pretty much every shooter I know reloads. I for one couldn't afford to shoot as much as I do if I didn't roll my own ammo (On a Dillon for pistol and a Hornady for rifle) |

I useually grab what I can. Mainly pistol brass though. All my rifle brass in brand new, then I reload after firing.
If anyone has any .357 mag brass they want to uload, I sure could use it. |

I only save my .45 auto once fired brass, because it would be a waste to leave it on the ground when it can be re-used someday, it's too good to throw away.

Yeah. Once I cheerfully told the brass rat in a not too threatening way: "I've heard about bringing a knife to a gunfight, but you're even dumber than that! Imagine! Stealing from a guy with a loaded gun in his hand!" You should have heard him hem and haw. Another older guy was a PITA anout it. He'd snag them in flight, hot as hell. I told him that if he stole my boxer prier ammo that I'd call the IRS and tell them he was clearing 45-50K/year in undeclared income. THAT WORKED!!!!! It scared the hell out of him. Remember that one. |
