Thanks to my local LEO who shot through 20 cases of this stuff this morning before I was on the range...



I stopped after half filling two of the box's with a little over 1000 nice Winchester 223 brass :)



Maybe I am most happy that I found a suitable way to recover some of my tax dollars haha

It's Silverdale... nobody in their right mind is going to clean up brass on the competition ranges except for a cheapass like myself.

Nothing wrong with being a cheapass,free brass filled many buckets over the years for me.Besides you are helping the environment.
 
Wouldn't be the first time police have left a range in a big mess. Opened a CF range long ago after the OPP TRU guys had been there. 9mm brass everywhere. Friggin' primers were lock-tited or the like in. De-capper tore the bottom off.
Very much doubt Winchester anything will be crimped. Especially with SP bullets.
 
I have no issues with anyone leaving brass at known gun ranges. What I have a problem with is people going out into the bush or a field and leaving shotgun hulls.

The brass is like leaving quarters on the ground (depending on caliber). The shotgun hulls are just garbage.

I agree, leave the brass for the reloaders. I have no issues picking up any brass left behind. Especially 45 ACP and 223. A lot of people don't really think its a big deal to leave their brass around because they have no idea what its worth. Oh well, more for us!

Sorry, BUM, it's going to happen again: I scored about 1000 9mm brass thanks to your employer's protegés, the CBSA, when they were up training at the local range a few years ago. I turned up around 5:15 pm one day as they were leaving and the 20L buckets were full of the stuff. They did two weeks of shooting from 9-5. I can't imagine how much ammo they burned through.

Around this time, the club poobahs decided that brass left on the range was theirs to have for recycling. But in this case I figured that, as a taxpayer, I had helped pay for the ammo in the first place. :)
 
One of many reasons I don't visit silverdale anymore is that me and an RSO got into it over picking up brass. Apparently according to him I was picking up more brass than I shot. Glad to see him paying more attention as to how many rounds I shoot vs how many times I bend over to pick up the brass than the safety of range.

For you to tell me you picked up a box full really surprised me that an RSO didn't have a coronary.
 
There were 223 brass all over the 100-200yrd range all down by the 200yrd berm. That's gonna make a lot of noise when they go mowing the grass. Damn, lots of nickel plated brass too. I would have stopped to pickup but that would hold up the firing line. lol

Just as I was packing up for the day, a guy walks up to the brass bin with two huge handfulls of 308 brass and just before I could ask if I could have them, dumped into the bin.
