Gents,

Some of my brass is coming to the point where primer pockets have expanded and don't hold the primers in anymore.

Besides stockpiling brass to sell around $2 a
Lb, anything else that can be done?

I keep a bucket for scrap brass under my bench. When casings get messed up during reloading or don't meet my specs anymore, I'll scrap it. You should be getting more than $2 a pound though.
 
I'd scrap it or maybe make whatever I can out of it. Maybe have some craft time?
 
I have a bucket of brass under my bench for "non working" brass. Including some Berdan stuff I picket up at the range. I use it to set dies, set up case neck trimmer and case neck turning tools.

Don't trash it. There's always something to do with brass.
 
[MENTION=77238]JaysonF[/MENTION] that's the offer around my area. I checked briefly online but some sites ask for specific calibers only. A lot of this I have is mixed from pistol to rifle and may calibers.
[MENTION=88056]BDA2[/MENTION] I have less than 20 lbs (don't have a scale to weigh it). I'll get around to weighing it when able I could ask a friend of mine.

I give my used/surplus brass to a friend who casts it into buttplates, patch box covers and trigger guards for the flintlock rifles he makes.
