Don_B Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 They are brass. Some places will buy them and some will not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intel6 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 They are made of brass (some are nickeled) and can be recycled. Need to watch out because there are primers out there that have steel cups. First time I tried to recycle them for $ the guy whipped out a magnet and showed me. I didn't know they existed up to that point so now I run a magnet over them before turning them in.

RudyVey Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 I take them with my old brass once a year to the metal recycler in town. Go home normally with a $20 note and some change.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullett Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Yes you can, depending on the recycling facility. I normally recycle mine and spend the money on additional components Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USSR Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 I took 40# of spent primers and bad brass cases to the scrap yard and was given $60, so yeah, save 'em. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don_B Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 The last couple of times I took used primers they would not buy them. Might have to try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
