How much brass is too much?

[Guest BCR#1]

I'm close to 10K in 9mm, 40 S&W and 45 acp and have run out of containers to store it in. I have a feeling that steel will take over so I just keep picking it up. It gives me something to do on the weekends.

There's no such thing as too much brass.

 

It's not like it goes bad.

Well there is that. Although my OCD netted me enough cash to buy up a substantial investment in supplies to keep shooting for a while.

Few 1000 40, 308 and 38.

Few 100 7mm, 45 Colt, 25ACP, and 44 mag

Can you have to much money, sex or fun?

I DONT THINK SO :squint:

[Volzfan]

Never can get too much!

[musicman]

Lowe's has 5 gallon buckets for like $3.  You don't have too much.

 

One of the reloading shops I frequent gives a small credit for spent brass.  Once or twice a year I take down, sorted, of course, calibers I don't load for or simply brass from manufacturers I don't particularly care for.  I usually get something like $30-50, which years ago bought a pound of powder and a few hundred bullets. 

 

Sounds like you might be able to trade for a new 1911.

Last count I had 4 - 5 gallon buckets full of .40s&w.  Little less in 9mm.  

 

I just can't leave the range without picking all of it up.  I figure it won't go down in value and I will hold on to it till I find someone who really wants it.

Brass is good.  

[No_0ne]

Maybe this would qualify?

I think you have a bit too much. Can I have about 2000 of the 45? :). Seriously, can I?

"I'm close to 10K "

 

Ask again at 100k. :)

[runco]

Oh, you said brass, I must have initially read it wrong, I didn't see the B and R.  

[itchytriggerfinger]

Too much?

Brass is a precious metal....just like lead and copper.....store what you can, shoot what you need, sell what you must..... :usa:

Yes, I keep a 5 gal bucket in the back of my jeep with one of those Gopher/grapper tools. I store the stuff in the 5 gal red plastic pickle buckets from Firehouse Subs. The 2 bucks a bucket goes to agood cause and the buckets are sturdy 

[Guest BCR#1]

I will start using 89 oz. orange juice jugs with the handle. The store nicely on the top shelf of my loading bench and will hold 100's of pcs. each.

If you can still get into your bathroom? No! Kitchen? Who needs a stinkin' kitchen?

It sounds like you have the makings for a home based business selling brass.
