Obsession with range brass..

[Kenneth]

How many of the .308 cases do you have? I may pay you for shipping and a little for your trouble.

It's not enough to matter as if yet but I have a friend that blasts the stuff away. If I get a decent amount I'll let you know.

It's good for my recycling bucket

I pick them up anyway and plan on giving them away.

I agree .40 is aggravating. I also hate it when a .380 gets thrown in on my 650.

.380 is a pain also. People and their weird calibers, lol. Recently I picked up just under 50 once fired Hornady 6.5 cases that a guy was shooting from an RPR. Blew my mind. Even when I didn't reload, I saved my brass on the possibility I would. It's set me up pretty good.

Same here on saving the brass before i reloaded. You already paid for the brass. Why throw out 3-7 reloads.

Depending on your load, you can get better than seven. I used to get 12 out of 6.5x47L. Lapua .308 brass often lasts a good 8-10x if you're not trying to push it.

Though, it's uncommon to find that stuff at the range.

.40S&W is the only pistol caliber that I regularly reload. Happily, the cops around here shoot it, and after they qualify, the range is littered with once-fired nickel brass.

I pitch all the 9 and 45 in the scrap bucket.

We should arrange a 40-45 brass swap

I can get 9mm and 5.56 by the 5 gallon bucket, so I am good on those.

Flat rate priority boxes!

I wish I could get .223 brass easily. I do ok but it's a lot of work and certainly not bucket fulls.

Actually, I'm kind of the opposite of TravelChild... I hardly pick up anything except my own.

My pistol brass lasts forever, and picking up other people's rifle brass makes me nervous... I figure it's the 6th or 10th reload, and they're discarding it for a reason.

Also, I've been shooting 5.56 and 7.62 forever, and saving the brass, so I have plenty, and I like the idea of barely sizing it so it'll barely fit my guns again...


Of course, I do scoop up the cops' nickel cases!
