Im still new to reloading and collecting my brass. Every time I come back from the range, I end up with a hand full of brass calibers that I dont reload. Currently Im just throwing them all in a large bucket but Im starting to wonder if I should be sorting the unused brass as well. Im just not sure I want 5-10 small bins of brass I dont reload. What is everyone doing with the range brass they dont reload before storage?

What to do with range pick up
Tags: None -
Wait till the bucket is 3/4,full. sort it and sell what you don't want. Maybe you will get enough to buy a box of bullets.Been gone too long. It's been 15 to 20 years since i had to shelf my guns. Those early years sucked.
I really miss the good old Pomona Gun Shows.

Brass I bring home that is not for me to reload goes into a 5 gal bucket then to the scrap yard when full.
The first time I did this I had 2 buckets and a box full ...... I did it just cause.... with no idea the money I would get ..... I figured I'd get maybe $20ish or so ........ so some may be able to imagine my surprise...............If you start thinking like a Free Man
You'll begin to feel like a Free Man
And pretty soon you'll begin acting like a Free ManComment

When I first started reloading and ended up with brass I didn't have a gun for, I bought a gun in that caliber, problem solved.Comment

Any round i dont reload goes in a 5gal bucket. Except for calibers i plan to own a firearm in eventually, mainly revolver rounds.
I would just fill a 5gal bucket to save space and once its full decide if you want to sell for scrap or seperate and sell/trade in caliber specific1k round batches. You may also end up with a new handgun in a new caliber and have a ready supply of brass to use.Comment

Just collect it - when you have a few thousand - good reason to buy a gun in that caliber ;-)Comment

Most of time - I take the boxes it came in and put it in them . Every once in a while I / we fine someone who will either trade for it or just take it .
3 of my nephews wanted to buy the 223 AW before the 20th of last month .
I was picking up that brass - then they looked at the 762 and 308s and bought them instead
Even swap for MT 308s for the 223s .life member - CRPA and NRA
All ways listen - after you can say I new thatComment

Where I go we pick up the brass to at least keep the place clean.
Unused calibers get stored in a bucket. I don't store the bucket, but I believe it gets used as trade bait.Comment

I have done this also and a few time a nice calguner gave me a box of ammo without me even asking for anything in trade.
This is why I love calguns !!!sigpicComment
