Misc Any place to sell Brass?

I have been keeping my 6.5 brass as I shoot and really doubt i will ever reload any of it as I dont want to buy the equipment.

Is there any place that buys it or would it be better to just toss it in my range's brass bucket?

Honestly..... they do gun post stuff on once fired brass all the time.  Collect a big bag of it, and sell it.  If you want to be generous, sell it at the cheapest price you see others selling it for, and reloaders  will happily pay that and thank you for not overcharging.

Then you get to subtract the cost from buying ammo next. If you pay $1.50 a round, but sell the brass for $0.40 a round, it's like you bought the bullets for $1.10 a round.

I just looked at stores selling once fired 6.5 creedmoor brass... the first one I say was selling 50 brass for 40 bucks..... So gunpost would probably love it I'd you sold  it for 40-50 cents a brass.

Thanks. I may throw the 100 i have up on there this week.    It just adds to the ammo fund lol.

Definitely do it!

I'm collecting my 357 brass, figure I'll either reload it someday, or sell it in a big bundle of a hundred or so someday.

Really makes the difference in ammo cost when you can even recoupe a 3rd of your cost

Now its making me second guess that I burned 100 rds in like a week.

But think, if you recoup some of that cost, then you can shoot another 100 ;)

Nothing wrong with enjoying shooting! A meal out and a few drinks can easily cost the same as your 100 rounds. I bet you had more fun shooting!

About $325 every 2 weeks in ammo between the 6.5 and .22lr.  3 shooters
