Definitely picking up the brass.

I shot one comp this year on a range that “ate up” .45 ACP brass. Out of 300 fired I got back less than 200 cases. As my squad followed a squad with an open division shooter making 9mm major, no-one else was interested in claiming back their brass either.

And then I shot our North Island IPSC Champs on a range which was not up to standard after a week of rain. On two stages you had to wade through above ankle deep mud to reach the targets to patch. Again, I lost so many 45 cases that weekend!
