Last time I was at my pistol range the RSO comes by shoving brass. He waits till I see him, asks if I save my brass. I said yes, just shove mine up against the wall I'll pick it up.
By the time I was done he had left me at least an extra 50 rounds of both 9mm, and .45acp.
He got a very nice thank you from me on the way out the door.
I support my range, I have bought a lot of rifle brass in various calibers. 25 lb boxes of 9mm, .40sw, and .45acp. I don't always pick up my brass. I figure it comes out close to even in the long run.
I have to admit I like having a whole 25 lb box of 9mm if I want to crank out 2-300 rounds.
Range is basicly selling it for the scrap brass price. Little more for rifle brass, but still reasonable.
If they ever need anything, I'll be there. I don't forget who my friends are.
