Went to the range today to do a brass pickup. When I got there I was pretty disappointed. There seemed to be hardly anything lying around. I managed to score about 50 .223 from the rifle range, but other than that the pickin's looked mighty slim.
So I decided to head over to the pistol ranges, and again, pickin's looked slim. But then I decided to take a walk out on to the ranges themselves as I knew people shoot from downrange as well as from the main firing line. And like the guys on Gold Rush, I had to comb through a crap-ton of rock to find the bits of gold, but when all said and done I walked away with a total of just under 10lbs of mixed brass.
I'll wash and tumble it all, keep the stuff I reload for, and then trade away everything else!
