Seeing 2 chaps throw about 1-200 each .30M1 carbine remington and PPU brass in the bin yesterday I would say 0 the boxes £1-2 each...

I do not keep our fired brass either.

May I ask why the brass is being thrown away?

People with more money than sense? free country at the moment. :run:

Simple they do not reload.... other rifles they used fired steel cased ammo ie Barnaul .223 & 7.62x39 & 30-06 all went in the bin.

There are just very limited .30 carbine chambered guns around. A handful of straight pull M1 carbines, a few Taurus revolvers and a very light smattering of Marlin lever guns. Bolt guns chambered in it are nigh on non existent. There was some Brazilian built rifles 30 years ago or so, but I can't even remember their name.
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Guns dont kill people. Dads with pretty Daughters do...!

To answer the OP's question, a box and 50 rounds wouldn't be worth more than a fiver (new 50 round boxes are around £4 and new cases are around £25 per hundred).
