The last few times I've been to our club's pistol range I've noticed more discarded brass than normal. For a number of years I'd look in the buckets and find nothing. Occasionally I'd see some stuff worth picking....and I'd pick them out one-by-one until it looked like I got what was there.
The last few times I've been there there has been so much I've just used my hand to scoop out tons of stuff - knowing I'd have to pick out the steel and .22 when I got home. Today there was just too much good stuff in there to warrant going through it at the range. So my bag got loaded up.
With ammo prices dropping, and having seen a variety of threads like "Is 9mm worth reloading?", I'm wondering if we're seeing the logical outgrowth of price drops and people just buying ammo - that being tossing the brass rather than keeping it.
Are folks seeing more than the usual amount of discarded brass where they are? We talk frequently of "stocking up" when things are good (bullets, primers, powder). I hadn't put brass in that category of something that needed stocking up.......but I am now.
