    Default Rookie Question...

    So I have never saved brass before.... so why would I? Other than reloads? Can I sell them? Do they have to be in good shape or does it matter? Is it worth picking up old brass from the range?
    thanks in advance

    It is always appreciated when you pick up after your self.

    If the brass is in good shape, you can reload or sell, which ever seems better to you.

    Be safe.

    You may want to start reloading some day most of all. Besides we may not be able to buy ammo (fear mongering) and you'll be glad you hung on to it. I always pick it up. I'll give it to a reloader if nothing else.

    To be Eco-friendly, then I would dispose of the brass for you, in a green manner of course...

    Save as much as possible, sell here than donate the proceeds to ..............the web site. After all this site enabled you to ask the question, that sold the brass to donate to the site. Karma.

    I keep all of mine. I'll probably end up selling it here when I get a decent amount stashed.

    even the steel stuff, shotgun hulls. don't just leave it as trash.
    I keep a scrap iron bucket in the basement and recycle it when it gets heavy.

    Take it to metal recyclers, you would be surprised at the scrap brass prices.
