I do not reload. It requires a precision, detail orientation, and competence that is beyond me. Just not something I want to do.
So what do I do with my brass? I have been saving it up, planning to send it in to Freedom Munitions for brass credit. I ran the math and determined that I had to get at least $0.85/lb net to break even after shipping. This did not account for the higher purchase price of Freedom ammo, though.
I did the research and found that I could by plinker ammo for up to $1.50 cheaper via Wikiarms sources than I could at Freedom. This pushed me to find an alternative use for the once-fired brass. So I contacted local scrap metal buyers. Ding! Ding! Ding! I found a winner here in the Fort.
Metal X will pay $0.97/lb for clean brass, less if it is dirty. Either way, without the cost of shipping the brass ($18.85 to ship 35lbs), I get $0.12/lb more. Definitely the way to go.
Here is a link to the Metal X website for details. https://iscrapapp.com/yards/us-indiana-fort-wayne-metalx/?whats_this=1
Thought the ers in the Fort might be interested.
