Our club has a dozen 50 yd. deep shooting bays adjacent to each other. They are very popular with the action pistol shooters and the AR "blaster" crowd. It got too windy yesterday for any more rifle shooting for me, so off I went for some brass collection.
I have about 1.5 hours into this easy effort on my knees. 64 lbs., a full 5 gallon bucket of mostly .223 brass. Still is $2.25 lb. at my usual metal salvage place.
I make the one hour scrap run when I have at least 2 buckets. At present there are two buckets worth of handgun brass on the ground. Too much work for hand picking up, need a rake, shovel and sifter as the bay floors are dirt.
Someone will get it soon. Our club has no hard rule for cleaning up brass.
My cash goes right back into reloading components.
