OP needs some cheese. LOL.
When you shot up to 20K a year of match ammo who could afford that...
Its why we ended up with over 100K rounds of LC brass eventually... and learned how to deal with reloading. Plus it kept us out of trouble doing other things LOL.
I was just thinking again, I cannot recall the last time I fired a factory round. Probably a few years back actually when I bought a used 458 win mag that came with some loaded stuff, so I had to make empty cases to be able to reload good ammo with. Beyond that... might have been in the late 70s.
Other than rimfire and dove and duck loads....
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

Agreed. I wouldn’t bend over to pick up a piece of brass for what some sell it for. Glad for you that you have more money than sense, if it wasn't for guys like you I wouldn't have the ammo supply I do. No, it don't bother me at all to reload or pick up your brass. But god damn it quit being a cheap ass and stop buying that steel cased crap. Have a nice day. MB It makes me smile to come home from the range with more brass than I got there with. I will even look through the trash cans sometimes. You've been filming me. Lol.

How come peeps don't leave the good stuff on the ground at the range? You know, .44 Mag, .38-55, .30-30, .45-70, 7x57, .250 Savage? Stuff like that. I NEVER see any of that layin' around. -sniff- Dan, I occasionally am able to pick up a little .44 Mag, .30-30, and 7x57. But usually, the guys who are shooting that are picking up their empties themselves. I traded off a bunch of pristine .30-30 for several nice LH handgun holsters a while back. Now that I know you look for these, I'll send you some when I come across a good batch.

Found 48 pieces of PMC I'd picked up at the range a few years back; killed a very nice buck later that year with it.

Now that I know you look for these, I'll send you some when I come across a good batch. I will occasionally find and pick up 44 magnum brass. I scored big a couple months ago when a local ammo manufacture was at my range. He said he leaves his starline brass behind for members of the club to pick up. I was all over that 10mm, 357 sig, 300 blackout and yes, even some 44 magnum. It wasn't all starline brass, but was quality once fired stuff....and yes, he left a chidt load of .223 rem brass laying there too, but I didn't touch that stuff..
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Picked that up and resized to 243. So now have 20 pieces of Nosler brass. One the best finds ever.

I NEVER see any of that layin' around. -sniff- One thing nice about living on the border with California, is I see a lot of that stuff laying around... when I use to go down to So Cal, to visit my folks, had a friend from another site, who'd invite me out to his range, when he was going to go...not only do people not pick up their brass, the range people picked it up.. nice concrete ground instead of out of the dirt.. each time I'd go, I'd come home with several hundred rounds of 6.5 x 55, 7 x 57, 257 Roberts, and plnety of 308, that I neck down to 7/08 or 260 Rem.... those people would laugh at me for doing so... I didn't care... I'm from Oregon, they laugh at ya just for that.. so WTF.. why not.. They come up here also.. last week, I came home with 300 6.5 Creedmoor cases, just having a conversation with some guys visiting for CA.. they were out shooting some sort of bolt action Rambo looking set up... each having those $2500 Vortex scopes that power range was something like 4 to 27.... one of those Razor models..they had a 100 boxes of store bought ammo with them... they thought I was a pretty good shot, as they started the conversation... they were shooting some of the gongs at 600 meters.. with their scopes set on 27 power... I was hitting the same gongs with mine set on 6 power... But hey, I live here...I know already were to put the elevation knob...have had plenty of practice... they just thought I was real good...I picked up their brass.. they thanked me for that.. as they loaded up in their Lexus 460 SUV, and left as the range was closing... Not all Californians are bad folks...
