I am not a reloader. Do people reload .22lr? I have a bunch, maybe 1k. Looks like its fresh.

You cannot reload rim fire rounds. But on the upside you have some brass you can cash in as scrap metal.

If you have primed UN-fired 22LR brass.... Don't trash it. There are people out there that will want it.................

A whole 2 bricks eh.... Shocked


Gezzz I can't imagine picking up enough shot 22 LR to make it worth my while at the scrap yard ...It would take 100K or more for me to make the trip. No

Some want em to make jacketed bullets...But I really don't know what all is involved with that and it takes a pretty serious investment in equipment to swage jackets

I have heard talk of people using the factory rimfire priming chemicals to reuse .22, however, seems to be a severe misuse of funds, patience and time for something that can be had so cheaply.

For those in the know, please do not discount the poster for such a question as I have seen frequently across various gun boards, he simply asked a viable question that many of us have thought about .

As above posted brass scrap is valuable and is one way of off setting reloading costs.
