I have picked up so darn much once-fired 5.56 brass from the rock quarries that I think it can't be worth much more than its metal content, unless a fellow really needs some. It's like 9mm brass; people give it away to those in need as a favor. Sometimes it goes to the scrapyard because nobody wants anymore of it. Other calibers of brass often have a lot more value. It's a supply-and-demand thing. Both 5.56 and 9mm, are among the cheapest centerfire calibers to buy factory-loaded, and thus offer the least savings to reload; though there may be other incentives to do so. As far as the concept of the, "prepper", goes, there are a lot of diverse views on that idea, including some that are less than positive. However, as every good Boy Scout knows, "Be Prepared.". For what? Well I think most of us can agree that, if we have learned anything at all over the last several years, we need to be prepared for shortages.
