Careful oomans ! If you smelt the brass yourselves, make sure you do in in an extremly well ventilated place. The zinc fumes given off are very toxic and can do significant neurological damage !

Being nosey, what sort of price do you get for 10Kg?

But each one refused used cartridge cases on "health and safety" grounds.

Now in Cambridgeshire - March. Anybody know a scrap dealer who will take cartridge cases ?

Not weighed it but feels like 50kg - its mostly .270 .308 .223

PM saddler. He's as close to a "Do as you likey" as we have on the forum. He'll probably steal a Transit to come and collect it!
...aye!
Anything military caliber = GIZZIT

I "up-cycle" junk brass into inert rounds...Berdan too...

Can trade for pics of Mrs.SimG eating Greggs pasties
