Question:

Is all ammo cases brass?

My father had a business were he sold gun ammoIn May the business caught on fire and all the ammo in the metal cases went offI have 4 ammo cases( probably over 500 rounds) that he gave me and told me to turn it in for the moneyI have no clue about ammoMost of the cases look like brass to me, but some look copper and so do the tips that went off and were still in the boxI just would like to get this stuff out of my garage and recycledI thought about just taking them to the recycling center and taking their word for what is copper and what is brassAny help would be great.

Answer:

No, they make brass, steel, aluminum and even plastic cases The ones you have probably are not copperMost likely copper colored brass.
