Wolfdog91 7,102 Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 Went to the local range today to se what kinda brass what's laying around and got a half decent haul. Some 6.5 grendel,6.5 creedmore,.308, and as usual a mess of .223/5.56( at this rate I'll never run out of .223 or 5.56 ) . I swear never understood how people will spend $40 on 20 rounds and not t even keep the brass or somthing. Heck ive had people leave half full boxes of shooting clays, steel gongs, bipod that where just missing a screw and the list goes on. All at a public range.One man's trash I reckon. 4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisJones 7,975 Posted April 26, 2020 Report Share Posted April 26, 2020 (edited) Mate, that is a good haul! Do you do all your own reloading or do you trade it in? I buy new from my ammo guy but I trade in the brass for a discount on my next bulk purchase. He'll clean it up and reload it as once fired. I've never really bothered with reloading as I can buy it pretty cheap and when I was working 65+ hours a week I haven't got time to devote to it. Now that's dropped a bit, and I'm after a more expensive calibre, I wondering whether it's worth the time. Edited April 26, 2020 by ChrisJones Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I trade moat of the caliber I don't shoot and keep everything else. I get alot of stuff at the range everything from 17rm .218bee,.223wsm and such to these new Gucci calibers like.300 blackout and 6.8spc to .35 welen,7mm mag and so on . But I stay in an almost constant supply of .223/5.56 going to start collecting range scrap from the berms and cast my own rounds soon as well. Here a pic from my little reloading /gun room. It's not much but gets the job done lol. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you're not careful they're trying to get hold of your .223 while it's still smoking! I need to research a reloading set up a little closer. Ammo prices are going up and overtime is going down!
