Talking Hit the jack pot!!

When to the range today and just planned to do a little shooting. So I got there and was shooting away and having a blast then I look down!
The ground was covered in brass so it then became my mission to pick every single on up no matter what caliber! When I finished I had picked up at least 800-1000 rounds of mixed hand gun brass and about 100 .223!!! Usually when I go people are picking up their brass but not this time!! wheeeeeeeeee!!!!!!

Nice! I do the same whenever I can. Easy way to stock up on some spent brass.

A 9mm may expand, but a .45 will never shrink.
Firearms have two enemies: Rust and politicians.
This country needs more family trees that produce quality lumber instead of socialist freeloading nuts.
