There goes the once fired military brass supply. Supply is going to get even tighter. Memo from DLA March 12 2009.
The price of reloadable brass is $2.00 per pound, the price of mutilated brass is .35 per pound. Sure not an economic decision.

This started last year. I really like the first paragraph second page in the above link. (Civil disturbances)

Subject: Important Notice to Scrap Metal Buyers!
http://www.govliquidation.com/
Dear Valued Customer:
Please take a moment to note important changes set forth by the Defense Logistics Agency:
Recently it has been determined that fired munitions of all calibers, shapes and sizes have been designated to be Demil code B. As a result and in conjunction with DLA's current Demil code B policy, this notice will serve as official notification which requires Scrap Venture (SV) to implement mutilation as a condition of sale for all sales of fired munitions effective immediately. This notice also requires SV to immediately cease delivery of any fired munitions that have been recently sold or on active term contracts, unless the material has been mutilated prior to sale or SV personnel can attest to the mutilation after delivery. A certificate of destruction is required in either case.
Thank you,
DOD Surplus
