Should I be saving the spent brass from my M-1A outings at the range? I shot some 1980s Malaysian stuff and have a couple hundred pieces of brass.

Should I be saving these so I can sell them to reloaders, like I do my .30-06 HXP brass?

Thanks for any advice.

Malaysian ammo is most likely berdan primed and for all intents and purposes these days only good for selling as scrap to a recycling facility.

I save all my brass, the stuff that i will not reload goes into a five gal. bucket that i will bring to the scrap yard once it is filled. When i do my RSO duty at my club range i will pick up brass that other shooters leave behind, i made over $100.00 last year picking up brass!

And if you want to go through the effort, berdan primers are available:http://www.grafs.com/retail/catalog/...tegoryId/3986? . Personally, unless it's a cartridge that's hard to find (I save my Swiss, for example), I'd go with scrapping it.
