Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Range brass

If I leave brass its for the grounds keeper who is a volunteers and recycling is his form of payment per say. Great old retired guy that lives near buy. I also know he would never sell it as usable brass and that it goes to the melting pot once in his possession.

I call em like I see em.......

Open your eyes then. My 60 year old dad hunts with an AR. It's a great platform and has nothing to do with stupid, people manage that all on their own.

Starting to think you need a few AR's. Might up your cool factor.

Let me guess you really like Jim Zumbo.

I did score some once fired 300 weatherby brass close 60 pieces I was like holy [bleep] someone with more money than sense was here today. It was once fired weatherby brass too.
On a side note its not the guys with AR's that bother me its the folks with pistols... Majority of AR shooters a good guys. If I see them struggling with them I offer up advice to them.

Some of the dumbest things I've seen at the range were done by guys with bolt action rifles. In on case a cease fire had been called and guys were walking down range. One guy stayed behind with his daughter and was fiddling with hist rifle, which was in a rest and pointed down range. When I called his attention to the fact that firearms could not be handled during a cease fire, he took the .308 Win round in his hand and put it in the open action. He then started to close the bolt until I got him to stop.


A couple weeks ago I was at the range and another guy was fiddling with his rifle during a ceasefire. When I called his attention to it he removed the bolt and said "It's OK now, the bolt is out", then started messing with the rifle again, in the rest and pointed down range. He had to be told again that range rules prohibit handling firearms during a ceasefire. Some guys are just slow between the ears.

I've seen a lot of idiots at my clubs range in the past. We now have RSO's and members with guests can only shoot there. It filters out a whole lot of stupid. Now we shut the big steel gate when we shoot to keep the stupid out...

I don't remember commenting on the platform. Do you have the matching fingerless gloves and 511 gear too?

Get some!

You'd never give a new driver a race car, but lotsa newbies toting AR's. If someone is going to do stupid schit at a range, you can bet money he'll be shooting an AR.




I must have missed your intention with the race car, AR comment and the AR shooters being stupid or doing stupid schit.

You are a Jim Zumbo fan no. Lol

Would a pair of gloves not look funny if they did not match? Let me guess you wear the Michael Jackson one white jewel crested glove to the range. TFF. GOT SOME

No, I don't have fingerless gloves or 511 gear. Didn't even know even know what 511 gear was until I googled it. I do have a baseball cap and sometimes I turn it around backwards when shooting as having the scope hit it is pretty annoying.

He's talking to me we are just to lazy to click reply at the end of the person we are responding to post

They say taking it in the ass isn't bad, but I'll take your word for it.

511 makes nice well put together gear. You would think ear plugs and lip rings would piss old guys off but there grandkids all have them so they have to bit the tongue. And bittcchh about 511 and AR PLATFORM rifles. Wonder if some day I will be sitting at the range with my AR pissed off about those darn kids and their laser rifles.

you are a modern day Red Skeleton. Go get your white glove out of the garbage can and man up and admit AR's are nice weapon systems and your generalization was I touch out of line.

Not sure who your hanging out with that says this but it kinda confirms the white glove theory I had. buy an AR you will love it bolt action accurate and lighting fast follow up shots.

That's a good discount on the cost of some virgin brass. Not to change the subject too too much, but I sold some 300WSM and 338WM brass I had lying around for years to folks on the Fire. My cousin got drawn for Bull Elk and now I'm having to buy some new brass.

The kids with the lips rings listen the first time. You gotta really watch the preppers though. I'd did have one tell me that government was taking everything and I'd better stock up for when the schit hits the fan. He didn't like that I was just going to take his schit if it "gets bad"...

Now that's funny..........

Two best hauls of range brass I've had were some 25-06 factory stuff a guy and his father were shooting at a station near me. They had about 6 boxes and were both shooting their rifles.
When they finished, I asked if they reloaded and was told no, I could have them. 150 1x fired cases went home with me that day. They're now on their 5th and final, reload.

The second one was at a trap/skeet/SC club I frequented in Indiana. My neighbor and I pulled up just as the local youth club was finishing up.
As they were walking off I noticed all of these pretty green hulls lying there. Same as the first one, they didn't reload and I was welcome to them. I made a 'deal' with him there in then that for every 500 of those hulls he would have his kids pick up, I'd give his youth group $20. The deal was made and each time I went out there I was given a bag full of Remington STS 12 gauge hulls. Mixed in were some Remington 20 hulls as well.

Now, I'll pick up some brass and leave others. If I know a friend shoots a particular caliber, I'll pick some of that stuff up for them. Otherwise, I just sweep it up and put it in the brass box for the range.
