noob blacksmith

there we go i have a large free supply of Be free brass 20 minutes away for smithing or i could just take it to that junk dealer and make a little cash thanks ice oh and the primers aren't hard to knock out my grand father was a cop and used to load his own rounds

does anyone know what type of brass bullet casing are made of theres a public shooting range littered with em about 20mins from me and i was just seeing if anyone knew

it's 2 dollars a lb of brass and nah i ain't got a band saw in fact i'm still working on getting my forge togethor i'm about 93% done with it but school and work doesn't leave alot of free time x.x

lol well if it's really that hard to find that you'd pay the crazy shipping i bought it from an old junk yard near where i live the guy has 40 or 50 old brass rods that were to be machined there about 3 inchs in diameter and 4 feet long and weigh ALOT and for 2 dollars a pound i'm not sure it's worth it

all i know is it was the rods they used to machine a lot and if the Be possibly in it i think i'll just stick to plain copper or steel instead of possibly breathing in a dusty death x.x

i'm fairly new to smithing but i got my hands full of scrap including brass but i don't know much about it and wiki nor other websites have explained much beyond what it's made of so does anyone got any useful websites or info?

if you don't mind giving up some nickels there a pretty good source there 75% copper and 25% nickel
