You got to hand it to the Democrats. Once fired military brass has been sold to re-loaders for many years. Lake City brass is considered among the finest brass casings in the world, & highly sought after for it's quality. Now, with the exception of blank ammo brass, rather than make the used brass available for the market, as it has been done for generations, it is turned into scrap metal. Before, it was collected into drums, & then the drums were put up for auction. Now, they have invested thousands upon thousands turning a simple process into a complex method of using high tech machinery to destroy a once valuable commodity. The money they receive for the destroyed brass is but a fraction of what the government would have gotten just selling the empty brass cases. Look how many employees are now involved & the equipment they are using. Democrats do not believe in the 2nd Amendment, & will use every trick they can come up with to interfere with the American people to be able to defend themselves, their families, their homes, & their communities. This is BS.

It's probably a closed circuit in one way.....raw brass is purified in the recycling process and some stock no doubt sold back into the industry to make more cases......

@@lawrencemartin1113 Lake City only uses virgin brass. It is difficult to keep the alloy consistent when using scrap material. The zinc tends to burn off when the temperature reaches a certain level, & then you are having to add additional zinc to the mix, & 100% consistency goes out the window. Look at Chinese brass hardware in a big box store, & compare it to brass made in America. I have found that the Chinese brass tends to be more of a washed-out color of piss, while American brass has the traditional deep golden hue.

Hmmm. I wonder why indoor ranges don’t let you collect your brass. Yes it’s a safety issue but also because they can sweep in up in 5 min then sell it to a business that shorts separates and cleans it then sells it as once fired range brass. It works out great for all parties. The range and processor make money and the reloader saves money

I bought some once fired military brass. It's harder to reload because the military rifle chambers are loose compared to civilian hunting rifles, so you have to work harder to resize the brass. It's a crime to just crush it and sell it as scrap brass when they can make a lot more selling it as reloadable brass.

Fascinating video.....totally ruined by that awful music!! Just leave the sound as recorded and tell the story visually. You don't need the insecent repetitive music cutting across it. Still, a really interesting film to see the different methods used to recover and sort brass and bullet heads for recycling. Our indoor range here in the UK, is de-leaded every few months. They actually have to dig and chisel out some of the impacted lead rounds that fuse together in the bullet catcher area. (Potentially hazardous work given the high levels of lead direct contact work)The lead is then re-cycled. All our brass is hand checked for live rounds and then also sold for scrap.

@@adayama 民間人は再利用、「リローディング」（或いは「ハンドロード」と呼ぶ）する人も居ますよ。当然ながら自己責任（且つ、一つずつ手作業の連続の単純作業）ですが、毎度新品のカートリッジを購入するより安価（既製品の半額程度）で済むらしいです。 1.使用済みの薬莢をクリーニング。 2.薬莢の変型を修復（要は型に嵌めて元のサイズに成形し直す）し、使用済みのプライマーを外す。 3.新しいプライマーを装着。 4.規定の種類・量のパウダー（火薬）を入れる。 5.新しい弾頭を規定の位置に装着。 6.弾頭が緩まない様にカートリッジ全体を締め込む。これらがほぼ一連の流れで出来る機械（ロックチャッカプレス）があります。但し、新しいプライマーの装着だけは別の道具（ハンドプライミングツール）を使用します。軍ではあまりにも大量なので、「一つずつ手作業の連続の単純作業」は無理でしょうから、新品を調達して使用して使用後は廃金属としてリサイクルするのでしょうね。 KZbinで、キーワード “リローディング” “ハンドロード” “Reloading” “Handloadinng” で検索すると色々動画がアップされていますよ。
