Yes, I have been purchasing copper jacketed bullets, and remember brass is made of roughly 2/3 copper.

“byproduct of copper mining”

Yes, I lived in Silver City, NM for many years. They mine copper, fire refine it, then ship it to plants that electrolyticly extract silver and gold.

“35 cents per pound”

I can remember when production of copper in Western NM cost $.47 per pound. (late 70’to mid 1980’s)
