Shooting Ranges?

**themadhabber** · 06-13-2012, 06:55 PM

Sorry to bring up an oldish thread. I live out in the country and there's a lot of backyard woods 'shooting' ranges if you'd call them that here, literally littered with shotgun casings, rifle rounds etc.

Just got back from one yesterday, got a whole shopping back full of shotgun shells. Thought some of them were brass but I guess they're just brass-coated? Not sure what they're made out of. They're still magnetic. But I got a few copper/brass rifle rounds that are good.

I tried cutting the shells off to just get the metal but there's always a bit of plastic left inside. Not too sure what to organize these metal ends as?

For a long time I have been shooting and I have a five gallon bucket full of brass. I have alot of shotgun shells laying around my property since I live in the country. All my buddies like to shoot here. I have always taken the shells and burned them with my garbage then I collect all the metal from shells since I dont reload or now anyone that does. I just throw the ends in the shed bin. I might just try and sell them online from now on.
