If you don't pick it up, someone else will be along shortly to pick it up. Its not like its "going to waste". Like I said, it's all over the place though, I will never buy 223 rem brass, no need to..... As far as buying blanks to make ammo with. No probably not.. Maybe some of the old guys that post here can send him the brass they get OCD about picking up and let someone put it to good use...
