    I don't recall removing primers when scrapping shells in the past, but it may vary by yard. I remember them keeping it separate from other brass.

    Reloadable brass can be worth more than scrap value

    Currently looking for a job in or related to scrap/recycling. Relocation is possible for the right offer.

    brass shells are one of those items that vary alot,
    1. if they are getting sold for reloading: no steel of aluminum, nickel is ok, no rimfire or blanks nothing over 50 cal
    2. if they are selling domestically for remelt: no steel aluminum or nickel. rimfire and any caliber is fine, may or may not want primers removed exact requirements and prices vary alot, can normally be mixed in with other yellow brass in VERY small amounts
    3. if your yard is exporting their brass any shell casings mixed with their brass could depending on where the brass is going make them an international arms trafficker, which could land them in a very bad prison for a very long time.

    if you manage to sell shotgun cases, please send me a source for the buyer, cant get rid of the **** things to save my life ... Ok the landfill, but there is no money in that:-(

    The only one who can answer that is the yards near you. Some require it, some do not. Phone call does not cost anything other than a few minutes of your time.

    I have an outlet for the brass casings. However, they must be separated into all brass, brass/al, alum, and any with steal attachments. Must be EMPTY casings. My outlet pays less than yellow brass for the all brass and obviously, less for each type I listed. We can work something out if you want. However, please know that if there is even one live round in the lot, you will be paid for none of it. May not work for everyone, but if you need an outlet, I may be able to help. Sorry...no shotgun shells.

    Hi, I know the post is late but how did you go?
    I am looking for bulk spent center fire brass to import back to Australia as scrap due to there being no spent brass here I am hoping to make a living of it. We have a wholesale business as well as in the middle of getting my firearms dealer licence.(FFL) will pay by the barrel
