Okay, I'll admit it: I'm more than a bit a*** retentive about brass. I HATE to see new brass wasted and discarded unused. My family may shoot 500 rounds during a trip to the range but we always come home with more brass than we shot.

However, the local County Sheriffs have sniper rifles in 300 Win Mag and they cannot, for legal purposes, reload their brass. So, after they were done shooting, my daughters and I scooped up eighty one (81) once fired Frontier cases. The three "snipers" (my 13 year old daughter outshot them with my Rem 260 VLS at 200 yards) even helped us bag them up. I'm sure that someone here can put them to use. Please feel free to email me(AWPorter@REMOVEsbcglobal.net -remove the "REMOVE") and I'll get them off to you.

We are cartridge collectors so you can either reimburse us for postage or send a few cartridges our way. What type of cartridges you send us isn't as important as these great once fired cases being put back to good use [Smile] .

I HATE to see good brass go to waste. Obsessive/complusive disease perhaps or just a strict Welsh upbringing?

My best to you and yours.

Brass was shipped today but I'll hang on to your email addresses and if we run across the shooting teams again (seems that we are always there when they are) I'll send an email to all who responded.

Quarter Incher,

Your supposed to save up the brass and then buy a rifle in that caliber when the amount gets to 20.

My rule is just one case.

I agree with Don saving brass is a great reason to buy a new rifle I have several hundred 270's that just waiting for the right deal to come along.

I think that is a great rule. [Smile] Think my wife will buy it?

I believe I'd have to up the "one case" clause as I collect cartridges and have roughly 600 different ones. I bought a new home last year and added 1500 sq feet to it this spring but it still wouldn't be big enough.

However, I did collect roughly 80 22 Hornet cases ............ hmmmmmmmm [Big Grin]

Thanks for the idea guys.

Once fired brass is a terrible thing to waste.
