How do I separate the copper form iron from my copper jacketed bullets?

thanks guys. I also found a thread where scrap buyers would most likely refuse to buy ingots. I would also be wasting time and energy making ingots, thanks for making me realize that. hehehe. oh well, continue with the digging!

Are you sure its iron and not lead? Most times the shots are lead not steel (due to the weight factor when the ammo is being used the around will drop faster) iron is all so strong than lead so lead is used (once it its something it will open up stopping the round)

If its copper and lead (as I think it is.) you can simple melt the lead away from the copper leaving the copper shell whole (you dont need alot of heat to melt lead) and sell the lead as is an then sell the copper. Now some ammo rounds will have a steel core inside of them. Just snip that off an it should be a clean copper core.
