Range Brass For The Beginning Reloader

[Lee in Quartzsite]

Simple response: I don't pick up someone else's used chewing gum and I don't pick up someone else's used brass. Don't know where it came from so I don't want it. Why risk a gun worth a lot of money just so I can save a couple of cents? Makes no sense! Just my two cents.........

I wish there were more shooters like you. Leaves more brass for me!

If you are referring to me you're out of luck. I pick up ALL of my spent brass because I buy only the best so I can reload them. Even pick up all of my .22's because I want to leave the range neat and tidy.

Too many 45's using small primers and that can cause problems in more ways than one. I also mark all of my brass so I know it's mine when I pick it up.

There are a couple of thousand .222 Remington brass cases out there that have 223 Rem / 5.56 headstamps on them. .222 Remington brass has a neck 1/16" longer than 223 Rem, but is 1/16" shorter case. Almost all the necks are cracked.

I have not damaged a rifle or handgun yet shooting a cracked case, Don't know if the neck [case] was cracked when the round was chambered, but it was cracked when the case was ejected after firing.
