years ago I shot at a range that only allowed their reloads. IIRC, 50 rounds of reloaded 38 special was $5 and $2 of that was brass deposit that you got back when you turned them in.
they changed their policy shortly after I started shooting there as they decided they wanted to sell reloading equipment and supplies more then they wanted to sell reloads.
I was there one Friday night when a guy blew up his brand new S&W Model 29 44 magnum on a reload. Someone had told him about "packed" charges, and how they made for a much hotter round, so he took a 44 magnum shell filled it full of powder, tamped it down until no more powder could be put in, and then added a bullet and a heavy crimp. I heard the load report, but did not realize anything was amiss until the range officer pointed it out to me. Barrel and cylinder was pretty mangled. Shooter was shaky but no injury.
