Welcome to the site where the owners and members have had it with playing "nice" and being "inclusive" and "tolerant" of points of view that are destroying the fabric of what made this country great. The members here are sick and tired of politicians of all parties lying, deceiving, stealing, and pretending they are doing it all for the good of the country while selling out to special interests who have the set goal of destroying this country. We have had enough of career politicians who use their office only for personal gain, and who refuse to listen to the people who put them in office. The membership is no longer part of the silent majority who play nice and get along while getting screwed by anyone with a loud voice and an agenda. We will no longer allow anyone to piss down our back and tell us it's raining. And we like guns too.

Default Found a source for used brass

I went to a local indoor range and picked up some brass, this afternoon. Well, they had it picked up and sorted.

They sell it by the pound at $2.50/lb

They had: .45ACP, .38 Sp, .357, 9mm, .380, .40 S&W and 5.56 brass.

They say 10 lbs of .45ACP is around 1,000 rounds. Only problem is they don't sort it by large and small primer.

I got 5 lbs .45 and 5 of 9mm. Got the .45 in the tumbler, already.

I notice my local indoor range had assorted brass laying around the dumpster out back.

That's a good price. Do they sort out the steel and aluminum cases?

There weren't any steel or aluminum in the .45. I haven't gone through the 9mm, yet.

Get a bucket of it to spread on your lawn. People with metal detectors love it when an area is so completely seeded that they can't find a thing.

I put up 500 .44 Magnum rounds, and thought I was done then found another box of 100 empty cases.

After I get them loaded, I'll start on the .45 ACP brass. I think I'm a gonna need more bullets.

At least the .45's use less powder.

HAHAHAHAHAHA! I had a wood burning stove to heat my house so I burned EVERYTHING! Tin cans, all sorts of metals, wood with nails in it, if it fit it burned. OK, NOT rubber! Threw an old toilet plunger that was rotten in and had every window and door opened up in sub-zero weather to air the place out! Talk about STINK! Dumped the ashes all over the two acres and when the bastards showed up they thought they had found a tank buried in the yard! The top couple feet was so full of rusting metal they finally gave up looking. They never did find the tank either, and I just waved and laughed the entire time.

The local scrap metal dealer has/had all the once fired brass in 55gallon barrels from the local PD's.
