We just got $1.90 a lb for cartridge brass. For NYC that is not bad. I think if we delivered to NJ it would have been more but gas/tolls/time is NG.

they buy steel and aluminum but not nickel plated.

I don’t like nickle plated brass at all.

Our range had collected scrap brass for years until we had two 55 gallon drums full. Our hope was to have a brass Civil War replica cannon cast. We have a brass foundry near us and they would not accept the cartridge brass due to lead contamination. We were able to sell it to a salvage yard.
