Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Canada Once Fired Brass

That's a good idea. Recycling the brass helps keep the range running. I wish we could ship brass and bullets back and forth across the border like we used to. I appreciate the offer though.

Gerry,

I don't know about Tradeex specifically, but some shops have agreements with ranges to buy their brass. I had an arrangement with one club of which I was a member to buy spent 22 LR cases. I use them to make bullets. I like this stuff because it is very clean and most of it is undamaged. I have 7 or 8 metal cans of range brass in my workshop. There are approx. 45,000 to 50,000 usable cases in each can. I paid $20 per can. The money went to the junior shooting program.



Using IVI cases reworked into 6mm bullets, and shooting homemade bullets, I regularly shoot groups like this. 10 shots of homemade under an inch.



These are 66 gr. bullets made from rimfire cases. 10 shots in an inch. I haven't found the powder for this load yet. I haven't been working on them frankly. Other things come first.
