I know an older gentleman who is looking for ways to get a little extra money in his pocket. He's in his late eighties and lives on a limited income. He picks up a lot of aluminum cans which he crushes and turns in for scrap. For the last few months I've been collecting spent brass from the range, which I find in the trash. He took about 10 pounds to the recycling place and they gave him something like $0.40 per pound. They told him they'd give him over a dollar per pound of the brass was de-primed. Is there a way he can remove the primers from a bunch of different calibers of brass without buying a press, a universal primer and a several shell holders? He doesn't have the money for that kind of thing. He's up to challenge as it gives him something to do, but hasn't figure out a way to do it yet. I suggested an ice pick or something similar and tapping them out. He said he tried that and couldn't knock them out. I think he also had a problem finding the indentation in the bottom of the case. Anyway.... any suggestions I can pass on to him would be appreciated.
