Range Brass?

[newtothis]

Do ranges allow shooters to what ever spent casings they want, or do most ranges consider spent brass to be their property to destroy, disperse, or sell?

I am a brass scrounge. I collect my own brass and any that I find and can use. If a range or shoot is posted as a "lost brass" range or event, then thats how it is.

The range I work for the rule is the brass you shoot is yours if you want it, if it goes forward of the firing line or your leave it after your session is over it becomes our brass.

My home range expects everybody to pick up their own brass!

I always collect mine and whoever doesn't want theirs.

Be sure the brass you are picking up is your own. I have had lizards picking up my brass while I am shooting. It is not like loosing a couple of 9mm pieces will kill me, but one jerk was picking up .45 super max that I had to hand make one at a time out of 30-06 military brass. Of course the nerd was shooting a .22 rimfire, so it was not like it was an accident.

I pick up mine and whatever else I find. Of course I do not pick up other people's brass while they are shooting. I believe I would have to say something if somebody was picking up my brass while I was shooting or even still at the range.

I always ask, if the shooter want there brass, almost always they tell to have it

Atterbury requires you to police your own brass. I pick up others as well as go through the buckets. That's is a lot of money saved.

So, did you get in his @$$ about it? I would have given him stern looks and a talking to (that probably would have included a few expletives). Especially if you have to hand make the rounds (which costs time,energy, and money).

Sorta wished my local range did the "pick up your own brass" the firing line area is gravel, I honestly think there is more Aluminum? Steel? casings and 22 casings and 9mm brass than there are gravel.

And over the weekend I picked up 100 brass casings of 357 and gave them to my Father.

Me too, I figure if they leave it and don't pick it up they don't want it and it's fair game. Then again, I'm a brass scrounger and love to justify my trips to the range with the loads of brass I come home with.

 

[pinshooter45]

I'll pick up any and all brass I'm allowed to. Cause Even surplus Berdan primed brass is worth $3.00+ per pound for scrap. If I can't reload it, I scrap it, and use the $ to buy more ammo or supplies. Got some to take this week to get extra NFA Day ammo.

i always try to leave the range cleaner than i found it. i use a magnetic pickup tool and clean up the steel cased stuff periodically too...it recycles like everything else.

At Applied Ballistics in Lafayette you can pick up your brass behind the fireing line. All brass forward of the line belongs to the range.

 

[El Guero]

I pick up my own of the once that i re load, leave the other that i dont need so others can use it if they want to, once my reloads been fired few times, i let them go and get new brass and start the cycle.

 

[pinshooter45]

Scrap brass is $2.00 a pound right now.

If it is in the bucket I consider it Atterbury's.

Always ask the shooters. If no one around will clean up and search buckets for what I'm loading. If I wasn't loading, I wouldn't pick anything up other than to place in the bucket. The range I'm shooting at sells it and donates to a charity.
