I have a couple of places where I pick up brass left behind by shooters. Most of the brass I pick up is not calibers that I reload, so I thought about selling it to the local gun shop, but he was only going to pay $1.00 a pound, when I can get $1.50 at a recycler. Seems wrong to send good brass off to be melted down, but if I'm going to take the time to pick it up, I want as much as I can get for it. Have you heard of any places that will buy it in lots of 50 for pistol and lots of 20 for rifle?
