I have about 700 pieces of 1-F .223 brass that I picked up at the range. It's a mix of pretty much every possible headstamp you can think of. Some of it is crimped primers too. I already have lots of .223 brass so is this stuff worth keeping? Do you people just chuck this stuff?

i ll give you 20 bucksseriously though id use it for plinking
I thought about it, but there is so many head stamps, crimps, etc. It would be a pain to sort it out. I might just pitch it.

I'm like a magpie on the range...if it's shiny and lying on the ground by the firing line, I'll pick it up. A few weeks ago, I picked up a couple boxes worth of 9mm brass left by someone with deeper pockets than me. Anyway, I keep all the reloadable brass I find at the range, load it and shoot it. I don't worry about headstamps. My experience has been that my guns shoot just as well with sorted brass as they do with unsorted.
If it were me, I would load'em up and blast away. You can never have too much brass on hand.

Play it safe: recycle unknown brass and safe the Earth
I always throw brass from unknown source in the recycling bin/container of my gun club.
Reloading is a serious business where you can destroy a weapon or get hurt if a case failure occurs. Some of the brass might already have been reloaded too many time or even worst it might be "American Eagle" throw away brass.
Play it safe, don't be cheap just recycle it and save the environment

the minute you toss it into the bin, someone is just going to go through it and pick out the applicable brass for themselves.
just pick it all, regardless of mixed headstamps/crimps/caliber/etc. you never know when one day you might own that caliber, or meet someone who does.
I have 2000 pieces of 9mm brass, but no 9mm to be found, but trust me, it's been a big influence in me wanting something in 9mm. Keep an eye out for any signs that it might be near failure.
OR
sell it on EE for a decent price, taking care to note that it is mixed headstamp/crimped, etc and a mixed bag. Think of it as doing another gun nut a favor.
