Spent Military Brass

[DBoulant]

Found this today, Figured someone here may enjoy it as it's not quite "Deals forum worthy" imho.

Would this stuff be re-loadable or best for scrap? Group buy potential maybe?
Anyway, have fun.

But have you seen what they sell for? 1000#'s of 5.56 sold for over 11k. Way above the market value. That is approximately 76k casings. They go about $100 for 1k. I don't know what kind of profit they make but...

And I have seen them go for even higher.

[DBoulant]

I've never seen government auctions for casings, only for scrap metal.

[Zamble]

Yeah for some reason they go for a fortune at times.

another one of these???

So the price gets real high? who reloads this stuff? Any commercial people reload it for resale?

[Divernhunter]

Most of it goes for making locks.
