IVI brass? Are we allowed to list in the EE?

For the folks lucky enough to get this brass, the LEOs leaving it behind are doing it as a favor to CLUB MEMBERS. Of course this also means they don't have to clean it up. Still, take it while you can get it, because sure as heck someone here will read these threads and pass it on to whomever is allowing this to happen in a NEGATIVE manner.

Rcmp range brass typically goes for auction either by lot or period contract. They use it to recoup costs. Probably 10 to 15 percent of brass being put into the market by commercial entities is sourced through this method

The RCMP range brass we see is left in a barrel or on the ground after they finish training on our range. I am fairly certain that abandoning it means they don't want it.
 
I have lots of .222 IVI brass that I bought as Imperial loads years ago. I find it weird that non military cases can't be sold, or am I reading that wrong?
 
do IVI are so good for some? ... didnt remember when we shoot them that they were keeper for reloading ... but in those days someone was checking what we kept ...

RCMP also use IVI 77 grain 5.56. So you're likely to see a lot more of it in the brass buckets at ranges these days. There is no "declaration" etc that the military guys have to go through.

I declared I didn't want it, I have enough without having to remove primer crimps...

I do not know what the official policy of the RCMP is, with respect to disposition of range brass. It is government property, and has value, even as scrap metal. No doubt one of the many members of the RCMP on this site will clarify policy.

The only place I've seen that it matters is the firearms facility at Depot. There's a big bin outside we had to lug all our brass to. I believe some company may have had the contract for it? Or who knows. I don't need 9mm brass either. ;)

One thing I do love is firearm quals when it's over a few days and lots of people are shooting the .308. I usually get a nice pile of once fired brass out of that. Which is good since I bought that 102....
 
I think I still have a bucket of IVI 5.56 brass from several years ago after the snow melted at the range. Military had used the range for a bit and the hot brass just melted into the snow. I've got so much .223 brass though, I never really processed the IVI.

I have no live rounds or empty casings in my possession, sir. Made at the end of every range practice.

I find it in the brass bucket at the range after they train..Garbage to those guys
 
Cadets are required to do a range declaration even after an air rifle range session. As an air rifle/small bore RSO our unit (and I assume all) took it seriously. Never attended a competition or exercise where the declaration was not done. Cadets expected it. Staff did it. Respect for discipline is still part of the program.
