    Is it worth saving spent primers?

    I've been saving my spent primers in hope of selling them to a local recycler. Is it really worth it? Are all primers made out of brass or are some aluminum? Does one have to separate them?

    303tom - that's a pretty cool idea! How does it mount? This method probably won't work on my Springfield, but I have some Enfields that it would.

    How do you tell of your primer pocket is too large? I mean, I would like to know if a case is junk or not before I resize and then go to put primers in and they won't stay seated.

    Versifier,

    OK so I spent a couple hours researching annealing brass and think I'll give it a whirl. Should I anneal the brass before I deprime/resize or after?

    Merry Christmas
