Often I read about people recovering free brass at the range and wonder if I am missing out. If I see someone who is pulling it out of a box and hucking it for sure I would take it. If its dirty and on the ground or laying there how do we know how many times its been loaded? When my brass is getting on in life and its time to huck it in the garbage I make sure Its my garbage so someone does not get old dangerous stuff. It's also the reason I don't buy used brass on line either..... Makes me wonder when people post all these odd amounts of brass in many different calibers for sale? Reloading saves a pile of money but I think range brass is crossing the line when we are trying to save a dollar.....What do you people think? Brass certainly is not cheap....

I've bought used brass, stuff said to be once fired lot's of times.  Look at the primer.

Heck, just follow sonny and walleyes around and you'll have lot's of once fired brass.......poke, poke,   

Ya, I can relate;  wives generally don't think much of having a press bolted to the kitchen counter.
