No. However if your talking about spent ammo cases, there are many .223, 7.65x39, and other military rounds that use steel cases. They can be picked up with a magnet. Never try to reload steel cases though!

No, brass is an alloy made of copper and zinc. Neither of these has magnetic properties.

A metal must contain one or more of these elements to attract to a magnet: iron, cobalt, or nickel.
