What should i do with my empty cases? SCRAP or RESALE for reloading?

Question

i shoot alot of .40 shells and i dont reload . so what im asking is should i try to sell the emptys or should i save them up and scrap them for metal? witch will return more money?

Answer 1

Many stores that sell reloading equipment will buy your once fired empties to resell to a reloader.  You will get more money by selling them to a gun shop than you would by selling them for their scrap metal value.

Answer 2

*Resale.*

Answer 3

You should get into reloading for yourself. You save a lot of money in the long run.

Answer 4

There are 2 schools of thought here....... 1 is to reload or sell it to a reloader.....  And 2 is to just scrap the brass...   I just scrap the stuff, I dont have time to reload or take the time to find a buyer....  .40 ammunition isn't to expensive so I dont see the point... If you are the type of person that thinks things should be reused (not a bad trait) then save it up....... Sell it on gunbroker or some other firearms website -- someone out there for sure will want it........ I would wait till you have over 1000 rounds before you get rid of it....

Answer 5

reload them the cost a pretty penny to buy

Answer 6

You'll get a lot more for 'once fired' brass than you will for scrap brass.

You'll have to find a buyer that trusts you when you say it's once fired.

Answer 7

Sale to someone who reloads will bring a much better return. Ask for half of new price. With ammo price trends your price will likely increase.
