I read about some folks never seeing much range brass so I figured I would post a couple of quick pictures.
At my range where I am a member you are not supposed to pick up the range brass but some days it is hard to keep mine separated from the rest of the pile. At least one of the RO's is out with a broom constantly sweeping off the brass because if he does not, it will become a serious trip hazard in a few hours on the weekend.
This was just a mild week day and it shows the amount of brass sitting at the station where I was about to shoot. I usually try to kick it out of the way so I can keep my brass separated from the rest.
I would guess this is about an hours buildup based upon my experience.
This is a view of the piles up in front. Always find interesting pieces when I sort mine out of the mess.
Again, this is probably at most an hours buildup on a weekend.
I would venture to guess that most (95%) is once fired. As a reloader this is always interesting to me to see the amount of brass left on the range and two it always irritates me because it makes my brass hard to sort out from the rest of it.
