You gonna pull down those 8 rounds of 9mm and make Mexican match loads?

I predict a squib, light primer strike and or “I think I have a headspace issue” thread in your future

Oh god, saw thread title and instantly knew the OP and what was likely going to be shown.
Probably want to pull down those 22LR and reload. Never know where those have been. |

Somebody could pull the bullets on those 22LR rounds, melt them down and cast almost 5 38 Special LSWC's.
|
|
I occasionally teabag my bullets and drop them on the range floor, as a joke on whoever picks them up. Enjoy!

I'm still finding brass. I found over 200 556 and 762 lc last weekend. It was right at the bench.

Quoted: Seriously? Was it in the trash? View Quote On the ground. I did find 5 .308 rounds on the top of the trash last week. If there are ammo boxes laying there on top I check them. People will stuff empties back in there. Would you leave a box of .338 Lapua brass sitting on top of the trash? |

View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Nope. I do not pick up at attended ranges. We have 23 different bays/ranges that people can shoot at. No need to bother anybody. |

View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Literally at a outdoor range doing some load work up with an AR I had at the time. This old fucker is walking around picking up my brass. I finished the group and let him know I reloaded and wanted my brass back It’s one thing to ask and if they don’t reload then have at it but fuck you for assuming once it hits the ground it’s game on |

For a goof, this morning i looked to see how much cci mini mags were selling for. $40 for 100 rounds...plus tax and shipping on top of that.
WTF? |

I find lots of good ammo at the range. Some of it still in the box. When shooters go to check their target they abandon all that is on the bench so I pick it up and keep it.

I miss being a range rat like you OP.
My work was 7 minutes from a popular club, and I was out there often. I figured out when the LE was scheduled for a couple bays, and would show up about 20 minutes before they were done. There was enough once fired brass and live ammo left on the ground it would give a penguin an erection. It used to be so easy and free. |

Quoted: Sure why not. I love being at the range and can't shoot the whole 4-5 hours. I walk around a police the place up. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: You're "that guy". Sure why not. I love being at the range and can't shoot the whole 4-5 hours. I walk around a police the place up. I guess I am too. Our range has a police your ammo and brass rule, which is largely ignored. I usually spend an hour or so at day's end policing brass and steel from the lane I'm using, and maybe the one next to it. |

I was an instructor for my agency for nearly 20 years. I shot on several ranges. One was SO owned and was cleaned up by inmates. It was always spotless.
Another range was state owned and we would schedule it for quals in the morning. It was always full of brass and live rounds - until the end of 2013. After that it was picked clean. We used to have to police our brass after shooting. After Newtown though, a few guys were queues up to use the range as we were finishing. One of them, an older gentleman, said he would pick up our brass for us. He faithfully showed up every quarter for a couple years (the LE shoot times were posted on the range schedule). We had 20 officers, each would fire about 150 rounds pistol for qualifying and practice then 50 rifle. When clearing weapons, or performing emergency cleaning drills, we typically just let the live rounds lie. I estimate that we left over 100 live pistol and 50 or so rifle rounds on the range plus the 3,000 rounds of once fired pistol brass and 1,000 rifle. There were usually a couple LE shoots every week. Not a bad haul for that guy. |

Axl taught me what to do with my 12 gauge shells before I drop them at the range.

Usually if I eject a live round and leave it be its because something was wrong
