Editor\u2019s Note: <\/strong>The following is a syndicated article by author Ed Combs that first appeared in USCCA\u2019s Concealed Carry Magazine Volume 16, Issue 2, February\/March 2019 under the title, \u201cBrass Class: Cashin’ In.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

New shooters often consider the possibility of reloading their own ammunition. It sounds like a great scheme: You\u2019re handling your own business like any good American, you\u2019re saving money, you\u2019re learning more about your firearm and its ammunition \u2026 what\u2019s not to like?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, if you\u2019re like most shooters, plenty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unless you enjoy it as a hobby, reloading can bear a suspicious\nresemblance to a time-consuming and equipment-intensive chore. Now don\u2019t get me\nwrong. Your training and recreational shooting do, in fact, generate one of\nreloading\u2019s primary and most expensive components: once-fired brass cases. But\nsince this issue is all about saving money, I thought it would be prudent to\npen perhaps the world\u2019s first how-not-to-get-into-reloading column.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every Last Scrap?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spent brass cases (yes, they\u2019re cases \u2014 casings are for sausages)\nare something of a point of contention in the modern shooting lifestyle. Some\nbelieve that any shooter who doesn\u2019t reload is a fool; others believe that\ntheir time is worth more than the money they might save reloading, especially\nafter investing hundreds upon hundreds of dollars into reloading equipment.\nThen there are those who will pick up any centerfire brass they can get their\nhands on even though they might not be sure why they\u2019re doing it, but danged if\nthey\u2019re going to let even one 5.56 case roll away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I believe that none of the aforementioned persons\u2019 opinions are\nnecessarily wrong. Like so many other facets of the shooting world, it kind of\ndepends on whom we\u2019re talking about. If you\u2019re not looking to get into\nreloading but you feel odd just leaving all of that brass on the ground, you\u2019ve\ngot some options that don\u2019t involve turning your spare bedroom into your\nextremely cluttered spare bedroom that you only reloaded ammo in once. The key\nis understanding how to best move forward. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Brass Age<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can bring brass, an alloy of copper and zinc, to basically any\nconsumer-level recycling center and exchange it for cash money. It would be an\nunderstatement to say that we humans use brass for a lot of applications; for\nexample, it\u2019s in every light and plumbing fixture you see in a day \u2014 and that\u2019s\njust the beginning. So you could always just sell brass at scrap prices, but\nammunition cases are worth a lot more to the right person as once-fired brass\nthan they are as scrap to a junkyard. If you already reload, you\u2019ve probably\nstopped reading by now, possibly even in a huff. If not, this will hopefully\ngive you a few pointers on how to recoup some of the cost inherent in training\nwith live ammunition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A quick warning before we continue: Though basically no\nsteel-cased ammunition is easily reloadable, that doesn\u2019t mean all brass-cased\nammunition is. If the cases are Berdan-primed, that means they\u2019re almost\nfundamentally non-reloadable and should be bucketed up and sold like the scrap\nthey are. On the upside, such ammunition is usually military surplus and priced\naccordingly since the seller understands that you won\u2019t be able to offset much\nof your up-front investment. Like anything else in the online age, be certain\nwhat you\u2019re buying before you click that \u201ccomplete purchase\u201d button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dirty Work<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Right off the top, if you\u2019re handling range brass, you\u2019re going to\nbe exposed to lead. This isn\u2019t a huge deal, but you will need to conduct\nyourself as you would while shooting: Do not eat, drink, smoke or do anything\nelse that involves touching your mouth or lips before thoroughly cleaning your\nhands and forearms with a lead-removal agent such as LeadOff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along those lines, bear in mind that dumping a bucket of .45 brass\nonto a surface will, lead-transfer-wise, basically turn that surface into the\nfloor of an indoor range. If you\u2019re going to be regularly handling spent cases,\nit is best to do so outdoors. If that\u2019s not an option, it\u2019s best done over\nnewspaper or some other disposable membrane and definitely not in a food-prep\narea. Many orders from Amazon.com and similar websites ship in large plastic\nbags, and it\u2019s easy to split them along their seams and use them as disposable\ntarps of sorts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brass in quantity is best kept and transferred in\ncinderblock-sized cardboard boxes, ice cream pails or tripled-up plastic\nshopping bags. All are strong enough to bear the weight of brass and can be\nthrown away after one use, therefore not allowing any particulate buildup to\ntake place in your residence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Art of The Deal<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brass takes up space and is heavy, so the legwork necessary to convert it into cash or trade goods should ideally be done before you have a few dozen pounds to move. The easiest way to get once-fired, reloadable brass to a happy home is through ranges and gun clubs. These are two of the last vestiges of the old-style \u201cmessage boards\u201d (and I don\u2019t mean the kind from mid-\u201990s internet culture). There will almost invariably be an actual, physical corkboard to which individuals affix messages scrawled on pieces of paper (what a concept, right?), and this is where you\u2019ll want to leave a 3×5 card with what you have for sale or trade along with a phone number or email address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SEE ALSO: .277 SIG Fury Demystified<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Like any other commodity, scarcity can determine value.\nMore-exotic fare like .357 SIG, .44 Magnum and FN 5.7 will probably fetch more,\nwhile 9x19mm will likely bring the lowest prices since it is so common.\nWhatever I tell you here though, it\u2019s important to never forget that\nsomething\u2019s only worth what someone is willing to pay you for it. If no one in\nyour area is interested in reloading .38 Super or .40 S&W, you might be out\nof luck.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clocking In<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you intend to collect brass for trading to a handloader, there\nare going to be several levels of \u201cproduct\u201d you\u2019ll be bringing to the table\nthat will go for differing rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you show up at your buddy\u2019s house with a copier paper box\ncollapsing under the weight of 40 pounds of random brass you swept up at the\nclub, you\u2019re basically going to get scrap price. Your handloading buddy can\u2019t\njust dump any old brass into the top of a machine and have fresh rounds squirt\nout the bottom. He\u2019s buying brass from you, yes, but he\u2019s also creating a good\ndeal of work for himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order for brass to be of value to a handloader, it has to be\nbrass that he shoots. If half of the brass that you show up with is, say, .380,\nand your buddy doesn\u2019t reload .380, at best, he has to find someone else who\nwants it. At worst, he\u2019s going to sell it to the junk man. So understand that\nthe 5-gallon buckets filled with a mixture of reloadable 5.56, steel-cased AK hulls\nand .22 rimfire aren\u2019t going to go for the same price as the shiny once-fired\nbrass your friend can buy online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What this means is that you\u2019re going to have to decide how much\nyour time is worth. If you sweep up that 40 pounds of miscellanea and then sort\nit into even just pistol in one pile and rifle in another, that reduces the\namount of time the end user will have to invest in it and therefore raises its\nvalue \u2014 even if only by a little. If you sort that pistol pile into 9mm, .380,\n.40 and .45, now all of a sudden it\u2019s in a form that your friend can readily\nuse or dispose of. In short, the time you invest is time he won\u2019t have to, and\nthat makes your gallon freezer bags filled with 9mm husks worth a lot more than\nthe pile of range detritus from whence it was culled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mail-Order Metal<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several websites are set up to buy your brass and, strange as it\nmay sound, the results are quite positive if you don\u2019t have the time,\ninclination or means to get your brass into the hands of someone local.\nUsually, the website accepting your brass will credit your purchase from that\nsame website the amount it deems your brass to be worth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If that sounds like a cut-rate scam, think again: If you\u2019re able\nto get more for it locally, you should do so. If you\u2019re able to trade it for AR\nmagazines or reloaded ammunition or anything else, those websites are not going\nto get in your way. If, however, you don\u2019t want to put in that kind of time and\neffort, just send it to one of them and accept your credit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This kind of arrangement does, however, involve shipping brass\nthrough the mail, so it\u2019s going to cut into the price you\u2019ll be able to expect\nas a return. Generally, the closer to home you\u2019re able to keep your\ntransactions, the better a deal you\u2019ll get.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just Sit Back and Count the Money, Right?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shooters police up their brass for all kinds of reasons. Some\nreload for their own use, some save certain chamberings for friends, and some\nscramble around to pick up every non-rimfire case they see out of habit.\nHowever you end up with brass, all I\u2019d ask is that you remember it isn\u2019t\ngarbage. Even if you don\u2019t want it, someone will, even if that someone is the\nguy to whom you sell your beer cans and copper pipe end cuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Come to think of it, if, after reading all of this, you think you might just let it lay on the ground for someone else to fiddle with, no one\u2019s going to hold that against you either … especially whoever picks it up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
