Used Brass
 

Hey I was wondering what i could do with all my .22 shell casings. I got a lot of them. Thanks

Assuming they are .22 rimfire. I would put about 15-20 in a empty pepsi plastic bottle and put the lid on and tie them out in the garden to scare off critters when the wind blows.;) To my knowlege, they are just garbage at this point.

actually they can be used as jackets for .224 Dia bullets.....Yes, there' s a company that makes tools to swage bullets using .22 rimfire empties....they can also make .243 bullet jackets as well. It' s how Joyce Hornady started making bullets and you can still do it today.....check " Corbin" for reloading tools and extruded lead wire.....there' s a lot of good in those spent .22 long rifle cases!!

Actually you can sell used brass to a scrap dealer . I used to buy and sell used brass to commercial reloaders and a lot of it wouldn' t be any good so I sold it as scrap. It might take awhile to get enough to be worth your time ,but it can be recycled .

Thanks, but i dont do reloading so is there a place to take these things to so they can use them?

Honna, if you take them to a reloading shop looking to find someone with a corbin set up.....you might be asked to separate them by Mfr.....and then get nothing for your time.....

Cut your losses and run....unless you have a ton or more!!!
