I shoot at public ranges,,, they encourage you to leave your brass... in fact, carters entire shooting area is nothing but brass and broke clays.

Do I pick up brass?
Mine, other than 22 or 9mm.. YES

Others?
Well, that depends...
A box of 300 wsm, with all 20 carefully tucked back in, chunked into the trash? you bettya

steel case? NO.

45/70? everytime

10 mm (Pecos, ole buddy, did you say 10mm?) damn right.

Average stuff? not any more... i've got cans of 308/3006/243/270 that aint doing anything but taking up space...

Since I shoot mostly big stuff or custom stuff these days, you are darn tooting I pick up mine...

Odd duck stuff? PLASTIC 308 round? hell yeah

The day I find a box or 3 of once fired 416 rigby, well, buddies, I'll be laughing my a$$ off. And 500 jeffery brass on the range? yeah, that's going to happen

Yes, I do. Any special loads are kept with controlled lots of brass, but a lot of my shooting is for fun, so it all gets cleaned and sized. I've even been known to pick up a few bullets when setting up targets near the berm. When at "the farm", I shoot into boxes of magazines or my sand trap and melt the bullets down to cast again.

Hell yes.

I like the guys who put it back in the box's and dump in can the best, last week at the range I found 2 full box's of 460 weatherby. that was like a gold strike, and i'm glad someone else shot it.

Same here.
