223 brass

i got some 223 empty brass rounds around 200 what would these be worth these days?

Not a lot. Brass is going for about $50-70 per 1000. It depends on military or commercial, or whether they have crimped primer pockets.
Most of the military brass have crimped pockets and require an additional step in processing.

10-12 dollars would be my guess

If it has a headstamp of F C 223 it is scrap, good only for recycling. Otherwise it's worth 4 to 6 cents ea. depending what it is.

Really. I use the FC stamped cases all of the time with no problem.

i got around 200-500 rounds not sure about if they are military rounds i know they and brass and they came in a 20 round box so my guess is they are commercial

The local scrap yard is paying .90/lb. I hate to scrap brass but I can get more for it that way then trying to sell it.

All the ammo and brass sellers at the show were buying for 1.00/lb so it must be the going rate. At that price, it's better to keep it stashed for a rainy day, then just literally give it away.

Not sure which way you mean getting more for it.

.223 brass is about 1000 pcs per 14 lbs. That would come out to 14.00 per 1000 pcs sold as scrap.
