Talon does not sell/scrap ANY brass. It either goes back in an ammo can to be shot again, or it goes in the dumpster to be hauled off by the garbologist.

That's pretty silly and a waste of resources.

A little bit of brass isn't worth much but as time goes by and more and more piles up, it becomes well worth a trip to recycle.

Want a job decapping? Pays by the pound . . . .

Since you mention decapping... yeah, I recycle spent primers from decapping too. You would be amazed at how much a gallon jug of spent primers WEIGHS... and weight = $.

As far as decapping for you/Talon... The only things that hold me back are: (1) wondering if you are serious, and (2) wondering about transportation logistics (burning more fuel than the brass is worth is senseless), and (3) wondering if I could handle that kind of volume in a timely manner. There is also the minor matter that the more haste involved the more likelihood of breaking decapper pins... and decapper pins cost $. It wasn't my proudest moment, but once I broke 3 decapper pins in an hour or less. One of the culprits is Privi Partisan .223 brass and I've gotten to where I segregate it and handle it with special care. It has super-soft primers that stretch so much they are difficult to press out before the pressure exceeds the tension that holds the decapping pin in the die... then it all goes south from there. Something insufficiently satisfying about knowing that brute force and slamming the press handle around not being a good idea doesn't always convince me that I shouldn't do it!
