I sold some aluminum scrap today and while I was at the scrapyard I asked the scalemaster about selling spent shell casings. In the past they didn't buy them for fear of getting a shell with a live round or just even a liver primer still in the shell. He said they buy them now (in Chattanooga) and told me how to separate them out. First check them with a magnet to see if any are steel (4 to 8 cents a pound) then separate the nonmagnetic, chromed ones out (not sure what these would bring) then what is left is yellow brass (about $1.55 per pound). I've got a gallon container of these and I'll sell them soon. Regards, Chris Hyder.
