Default 62 lbs of range brass

Where in the Houston area is a good place to sell or trade range brass? I've already gone thru it and pulled out 38 Spl, 357 mag, 45 auto, and 44 mag. Most of it is pistol calibers.

Too bad I'm far away(Canada);freight would be prohibitive.I'd gladly exchange all of it for some $$$$(US$$$$ of course;not our Mickey Mouse Money!)

Put an ad here in the ACCESSORIES for sale section.

You can put a lot of brass in the USPS flat rate boxes. Much bigger market and people can pick what calibers they want or need./

I believe Freedom Muntions at Jones and 290 will reload your brass.

I mailed 2 - 25lb bags of shot in a USPS flat rate box a couple of years ago. I felt it was decent payback for the way I've been treated by some of their employees over the years.

Did I misread the initial post.

I thought the remainder was being sold after the 38spl,357mag,45 Auto and 44mag cases were removed mostly because it then states "most of it is pistol calibers".

Is it being sold by case caliber or mixed hodgepodge after the mentioned calibers removed?

I have heard of Freedom Munitions but couldn't remember the name. Thanks! I don't want to mess with mailing the brass. I think Freedon takes it for store credit. Will call them Monday.

It all came from a pistol range. I pulled out what I wanted. It's not for sale - but I would trade. I might be able to get store credit at Freedom munitions here locally.

You could package it in Ziploc freezer bags in lots of 100 cases and put it up on the sale page of this any other reloading forums or you could sign up for an account on Amazon marketplace and increase the number of people you have exposure to.
