Can always use still or cupronickel-nickle jackets I guess. Harder on barrels but most wouldn't notice. Gold dot type bullets use less copper so those might be the new norm.

Is recycle copper price going to go up? I've got quite a bit I've been sitting on for a long time. Retail steel goes up, but recycle price doesn't always. Total

Total The last time I sold was back in Sept. of 2020 and #1 copper (Clean no soder) was $2.59 lb and #2 Copper was $2.45. I just looked and #1 is $3.67 and #2 is $3.45, I went through my receipts and the last time I could find prices that high was in 2011 and 2012. So I bet copper theif is going to start to increase and we will be replacing more A/C units.

You’ll have the same issue, gas will be $5 a gallon soon and you won’t be able to fill the truck and boat up at the same time.. remember the $75 limits on pumps or pay inside if you needed more than $75 oh but wait we won’t take your $100 bill because it’s bigger than a 20 and now may be carrying COVID 19.. I’ll crawl back under my rock now

High commodities prices are the cure for high commodities prices; just give it time.
Trolling? Heck no, I meant every word of it.

Looks like it might be getting close to the time I consider selling the huge pile of scrap coils and misc copper I've been amassing for the last several years.
