An employee of Capitol Scrap Co. in Albany said Monday the business pays $1.70 a pound for scrap brass shell casings.

A .223 case weighs about 95 grains, about 75 to a pound. So this brilliant young entrepreneur was wasting live ammo - easily worth 20 cents a round - to sell the brass for 2.3 cents.

.223 and all ammo prices have skyrocketed lately. It's a good $.40 - .50 per round these days.

This information does not, however, change the fact that this kid is a drooling moron.

"A .223 case weighs about 95 grains, about 75 to a pound. So this brilliant young entrepreneur was wasting live ammo - easily worth 20 cents a round - to sell the brass for 2.3 cents."

I just paid 34 cents a round for 500 rounds of Federal American Eagle .223. I thought that was a good price. I would have gladly given this bonehead 20 cents a round.

It must be pretty obvious that he didn't pay for the ammo...
