Picking up brass at the range

[Scratch705]

i need to start marking my brass.

that or save the brass for when i can easily collect it back and use the aluminum or steel casings for the indoor/public line ranges.

I would say that it is at least fair for you to ask the shooter or range if it is OK to take that brass before doing so. I wouldn't say it is fair game if range has a policy you don't like. Your own brass is a different matter but I suppose even then if you don't like a ranges rules don't go there.

Specifically enough, my range has no rules regarding brass lying about. The various ROs will even come up from time to time and hand me brass. And its hard to ask the shooter if I can have the brass if they have gotten in the car and gone home

Thankfully I shoot at an outdoor range. I pick my own up and once fired factory if the other shooters don't want it.

Oh, OP said picking up Brass, my mistake.

I have never had an issue picking up my own brass at IslandView, Winchester or Angeles. I don't own someone else's brass so I either let the owner pick it up or the range they paid to shoot at pick it up.

I shoot mostly bolt guns now, so it not an issue (not that it ever was)
