My rifle range is about to close, possibly for good!

Wonder what the recycling company(s) make on the lead and much more so on all the copper they find in the berms? It must be pretty profitable?

@CoElkHunter
They want to get real good money. There one hell of a lot of bullets in 1 ton. I don't think the reclamation would cover the machinery cost of say 300 dollars an hour. I ton of mixed lead and copper wouldn't bring that much. Say max of 5 ton at 200dollars a ton is 1k. Machinery cost for a week to do the job $$$$.
NOT good economics in my book.
