Donation of spent brass?

[gnatshooter]

Friends,

 

I live out in the country, where I can shoot as much as I want. I'm accumulating a lot of once-fired .308 Win brass, as it just seems a shame to leave it lying on the ground.

 

The question is what to do with the brass that's piling up. I don't reload, and don't know anyone who reloads. Seems to me, I should be able to donate the spent brass for a good cause.

 

Has anyone out there heard of people, like maybe the NRA or Wounded Warrior, accepting donations of spent brass? I would then recommend that my LGS join up as a 'collection site' for spent brass donations -- and that would give me another good reason to visit my LGS!

 

Any thoughts out there?

That's a nice idea gnat!

 

One idea...check with the local 4H or Boy Scouts, find out if they teach shooting and reloading.  They'll gladly accept donated goods!

 

Worst case, sell it on Gunbroker.  I've never seen any not sell.

I trade my spent brass to a buddy who does reloading in exchange for MOAR AMMO!

 

The last time I think I traded 200+ shell cases for 135 round of reloaded .308 (175gr BTHP). Math doesn't add up but I'm not complaining!

In the past I have taken my brass to the gun show and traded for ammo.4H or boy scouts is a better idea.
