    How much are you getting for Ammo Brass?

    Prices vary a lot around Hampton Roads VA. Last I checked (last week) anywhere from .73 to 1.70/lb.

    In case you havent noticed, The USA is on a ammo shortage.

    You could try to sell to someone who reloads for a much better price

    I would try to find a reloader or 2 to sell to.
    Or sort them out and sell the sorted bass. With the ammo "shortage" lot of people reloading again.

    I tried selling several different calibers of ammo - couple hundred pounds - that I'd picked up at an estate cleanout. Thought I had it sold. Then the guy backed out cause I had no idea how many times they'd been reloaded. Not fooling with that again - it's all going to the scrap yard.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    Mick that just about takes the cake as the lamest excuse ive ever heard. But like any other deal its not sold till its gone. I just keep modifying my ad for caliber and quantity and it all sells in good time. Like anything else your gonna have good experiences with people and bad ones.

    Just to clarify I'm talking about junk ammo brass that is not re-loadable. I would never scrap good brass.

    Sort it by caliber and sell it on Gun Broker as range brass. I'd bet that a lot of the brass that's advertised there as "once fired" has been reloaded.
