MD, appreciate the suggestion.
Correct, all is pickup brass but I'm unsure whether milsurp...?? Mostly its .308W Nickel Plated, headstamped : PMC, Win, Speer. And headstamped either 223 or 5.56 by FC, ADI, LC, ODL, RP. Do you reckon any of that is milsurp ? I don't know enough about it to guess. Would you say it's OK to sell any of this brass for handloading use ( not calibres I shoot ). I found this discarded pack one day indicating the source of some brass and it does say "reloadable".
