What a great day it is to be a brass rat.
The couple next to me were firing 38 special and 357 magnum. They don't reload, so let me have all their brass. What nice people! Then, when I get home, I discover that the 357 magnum they gave me is not nickel plated. It's the good stuff I've been looking for! Now I've got enough unplated 357 for a whole box of 50, and a few hundred more 38 cases.
On top of it, I found 18 boxer primed, brass 7.62x39 cases on the ground. I have no idea why I saw it -- I had stopped looking for 7.62x39, figuring I would never find Boxer primed, brass cases. I think I looked inside the case a dozen times trying to figure out why I wasn't seeing the "snakebite" of a Berdan primed case. Today was my lucky day.
I realized that my range bag is so heavy because I had about six trips worth of scavenged brass shoved into its pockets. I just had a big sorting session at my bench. I even have a dozen 243 cases I found a few weeks back and picked up for dad.
Now, some day I'm going to find my holy grail -- Win 284 cases -- and I'll start dancing and whooping right there in front of everyone at the firing range.

You will cause a flurry of desenters to start making comments 
. I, for one, love once fired "scrounged brass". Lucky you...Have fun.
