Freedom Munition brass buyback?

Hey guys not sure where to put this so I thought I would start it here.

Has any done the brass buy back program with Freedom Munition?
 
I do not see the point in doing that. I can make more money selling to my LGS the cases that I do not reload and no shipping is involved.
 
I have. You just fill up a USPS flat rate box with brass and send it with your order. They will only accept brass in the calibers they sell, so check their website before you fill up your box. The brass also has to be in decent condition (not crushed, etc.). You can mix calibers as long as they sell it. Typically my box will have .223, .308, 9mm and .45 brass in it with the most being 9 mm. There is a video on their site that tells you exactly how to do it.

Man it takes a crap load of brass to fill one of the large flat rate boxes, and it is heavy when you get it full. I think the last one I sent weighed 52 lbs. I try to collect all my spent brass, and any other brass that guys leave at the range, and it still takes a long time to fill a box. I don't know if it is worth the work to collect it or not, but it does give you some exercise picking up cases.
 
Thank you guys for your replies. I am a member of a outdoor range and sometimes I find a lot of it... My LGS does not buy brass... I do not reload so no need to swap with others. I am thinking about taking it to my local recycling center or mail it to FM.

Ernest T you saved me from asking how much you can get in a box :D. They pay 2 per lb and cost about 18 bucks to mail it so I can get about 500 rounds just for sending it in :eek:.
 
I've been considering the same thing. I have a bunch of 9 and 40 brass and need to make a bulk order soon to replenish my stocks.
I just wonder if the discount is enough to justify the cost of the flat rate shipping.

If I do it, I'll post up a report here to give the results.
 
The last time I did it I think I got about $95 for my box of brass. Shipping on the large flat rate box was around $17, so I ended up with around $78 towards my ammo purchase. My estimated weight was higher than what they gave me credit for, but I was using a bathroom scale, so probably not real accurate.

It takes me a long time to fill a large box, and I also pick up behind guys that don't want their brass at the range.
 
Jo6pak FM just had free shipping I put in a big order last Thursday and will be here this Friday. Looking forward to hearing how it goes with you
 
Ive sold brass on a local forum. I sent it USPS. I have ordered from Freedom but never tried their exchange program.
