Save your Brass! ... even if you don't reload!! I took my non-reloadable brass and brass that had been reloaded too nany times (52 lbs total) to a recycling center ... I got $1.68 a POUND! $88 total for a 10gal bucket full of brass!
... I've already got my eye on another Raven - and for $88 ... I could buy TWO![:D]

Are you serius? I could go pick up a 10 gallon bucket of brass in less than an hour around here, I knew brass was worth money but didnt know it was that much.
Heck I picked up about a pound this morning when I was at the range, just stuff I needed, I was picky.

Now that is one ugly weapon!!
I need to run up to Capitol Peak area and do some collecting!!! I bet there is at least 100-150lbs of old brass in two of the main shooting spots. It is really sad how people will leave all their trash and used shot-shells,brass laying around. they ruin a very beautiful area by doing this.
And thus is demonstrated the basic nature of demand and supply. If the price goes high enough, a greater supply will be made available than we would otherwise have. It's not greed; it's just the basic nature of acting in our own best self interests.[:)]
I always police the brass at the range. Don't remember when I last turned it in, but I don't do it for the money, but rather I consider it such an irritant when others don't pick up. Always take a trash bag with me into the woods and haul out as much as I can when I'm done hunting and fishing. Sadly, I've come out with a full bag far more times than an empty one. [:(]
Yep, my boys and I went to a remote lake in Canada for fishing for almost 15 years. One of the ground rules we used was that we had to bring at least one sack of trash that was not ours out when we left. It doesn't take much effort and makes things better than when you came.[:)]
I bet I could easily come away with 60lbs from there.

they sweep up probably two or more of those 10 gal. plastic bucket fulls a day. Every two or three weeks a truck drops by to take it to the salvagers. Since they have military and LEO training contracts the stuff piles up FAST! [:D]
