Even with the snopes thing..it is true..and false. Some brass is being collected and sold on the scrap market. They sell it..grind it up and most goes to China..but it is on the open market and if not bought by the ammo powder etc recyclers..it can be bought and used in any manner by who ever buys it. I live near Salt Lake(10 hours or so)...and there is an awful lot of brass available in the Utah Wyoming Idaho Montana areas. Lake City is the sole remaining arsenal and it is run by Federal Ammunition Co.. BTW..some ammo is coming into short supply again..I do not know why..but isuspect most is being bought and hoarded for after the coming election. I do have to get a bit of 308 ammo for my recently acquired AR 10. I truly do have a bad feeling about the coming year or so..especially if Nobama wins again.Also..I have seen a spike in prices on Military .223 brass prices lately..not much but some. All brass seems have gone up a bit though. I am at an all time low on hand too. I probably only have 5000 rounds of 223 brass and have quit selling it. but I have 5000 rounds or so of 222 Rem Mag I can make 223 from. LOL
