.223 5.56 range brass

[berserk]

I have a 5 gallon bucket full of .223-5.56 range brass. Done nothing to it, as in still has spent primer and dirty. Does anyone have an idea what it would be worth by the thousand?

Are thr primers crimped? Some people may not want to deal with them if they are. This would affect their value.

Some are, there's sure to be 10 different brands in the mix lol. Some I shot some I picked up when others did. I planned on geting into reloading but probly wont happen.

Look at www.widners.com they have it for $85/1000, and This stuff is dirty as hell... I got some and had to work it over ie tumble, swedge, and trim it all... It sucked... If I would have known the work I had to put into them I would have bought new lol...

It can be found easily in the arfcom EE for 50 shipped and sometimes cheaper.

Will recyclers take it? Seeing how it had powder in it and the chance of a live round I'm guessing no.

Borgs in tulsa will buy it. I sold a 3/4 full 5gal bucket a few years ago for $60.

I sell brass to "Recycler" in OKC for $2.10 a pound. If I can find a buyer for the "once fired" stuff I get a nickle a round for it but it is decapped & cleaned.

Mixed range pick up 223 is worth between $50-$65/K depending on what headstamps are there. Straight LC is worth a little bit more.

Assuming a case weighs 90 grains that comes out to around $3.90-$5 per pound.

You can take a look at the resellers on GB for price ranges too.

Selling mixed range 223/5.56 brass on OSA brings about $40 per thousand cleaned.
