Brass at the range ;)

[Hazzard]

I guess I'm lucky. I belong to a private range that does not recycle their brass. After a match it is easy to pick up a couple of thousand rounds of brass in 9mm, 40, or 45. Since a lot of the match shooters are sponsored, most of it is once fired.

I also have a friend who, for whatever reason, loves to pick up and prep brass more than he likes to shoot. He is a good source and likes to give it away to reloaders. He says prepping brass relaxes him. I figure I save him a bundle in fees to a psychologist!

The days of 9mm being "not worth reloading" are about over, at least in my parts. The cheapest I see is $7 or so a box and I can reload that amount for less than $4.50. Unfortunately, It's rare to hit the brass jackpot at my local range.

Do Brass Tank Rounds Count? Honestly I am a brass rat as well and If I can't shoot it I can imagine one day being able to cast my own brass Cannon. Small one of course. Question is I know where alot of seriously discolored brass needs to get picked up and I am not wasting my lizard bedding trying to brighten that stuff up so how do you really clean old and weathered brass?

The indoor range that I go to has a bucket that people put their brass in. Last time I was there I thought about dumping that bucket into a backpack taking the brass out getting rid of the wolf crap and then selling it. I don't reload but I should.

I've played golf with guys that enjoy prowling along the water hazards for retreivable balls more than they do actually playing golf.

Go to your local law enforcemnt agency and find out where they practice and tell them you will clean up their range for them. Usually they are happy to let you do that. My friends and I did that and we walked out of there with seven 5-gallon buckets full of 9mm, .40, .38, .357, .10mm and .45 acp brass. That sure as hell beats hunting for it!
