winner winner winner. "dirty brass" = brass + lead + a smidge of copper. about 7 or 10 years ago at a local gun show I bought a "bucket of bullets" 500 rounds for less then $18. yesterday at the gun show .22 cal were $25 for a box of 25 and 7.65 were $39 for a box of 20, 5 years ago I bought a tin of 1000 rounds of 7.65 for $300.

Was that just for the empty brass or old shells?
I've got a small box of brass I need to dig out and move, 38,357,45 cal. Might be worth more than I think.

I think he's just referring to how much the price of ammo has gone up since every shooting now a days is making national news and folks are stock piling ammo.

KZ is right but do not scrap any, any any, good re-lodable brass or I might be interested in certain cal. above scrap price. it either is or, soon will be, worth 10 times scrap price. you can make the bullits (lead part) the powder, and even the primers on the kitchen table. what you cant make is the brass or the shot shell.

side note: the differences between a big mac and a gun?
big mac's (and related fast food) kill more people than guns
big mac's are not specifically protected under the Constitution
big macs do not require a permit to carry
big macs taste better than lead (but just barely)

Is this real or just bs. Dirty brass at 200 a lb.?

Only when I am round my brother in law or his house. With as many guns and ammo they have, they could open a gun store lol.you have seen it much more often then you think
They don't buy to resale, but buy to just simply have. They have it all, hand guns, shot guns, auto matics, semi, etc.
They keep a few hand guns loaded for that unsuspecting burglar lol

That wasnt 7.65 Argentine was it?
