[QUOTE="CaptnC, post: 1893358, member: 101755"] I've seen post like yours several times and for certain shooting applications probably has merit! Apparently the range I shoot at has different clientele than where you shoot. The reloaders like myself take all their brass home. When I have a case failure I'm not going to be a range slob and throw my brass on the ground for someone else to deal with. Plus I want to look at the "why it failed". Most of the time it will have 8 to 10 reloads on it...so I like to know so I can check the remainder of that batch. I also have a scrape brass bucket so I can recycle my used brass. 99.9% of the brass that hit the ground where I shoot is weekend warriors that will buy 4 boxes of shells and burn through them in an afternoon. Much of the brass I pick up are from the actual guys shoot it. [ATTACH type="full" alt="20191018_123217.jpg"]191604[/ATTACH] Like this guy...custom build that looked like it was a defiance action, Nightforce scope with a can! He was flipping his brass right onto the ground. One of my shooting buddies only shoots factory ammo in his Sako 6.5 Creedmoor and his BCA upper 6.5 Grendel. I've seen many guys who only shoot "factory new" brass state that it takes 2 to 3 firings before the case truly fits your chamber. So my once fired is still in its infancy of life to fit the chamber. But like I've said many times in threads like this. Because of my shooting ability I doubt I could tell the difference new brass and once fired. And I'd say there is a fair number of shooters on this web site that would fall into this category. Not that, that's a bad thing. Its takes alot of trigger time to gain the skills to shoot .3 to .2 groups. I enjoy playing with the range pick up brass when I get home...sorting it and tossing the 308, 243, 7-08 and 5.56 that I accidentally picked up. I try to not pick those up because someone else might have a need for it. [/QUOTE]
