New to reloading 30-06

[Bill Steele]

I am reloading for my Savage 111 30-06 for now. if I can get all the stuff and save a little bit of cash vs. just buying new rounds i'll start in with my .243 and them move towards the 357 and 38 spec. I use steel cases for most of my .45 ACP.
Can I reload those once or twice?
The last time I went to On Target in L.N. i had about 500 rounds of .45 on brass and as I started to pick them up a worker told me that I am not allowed to police my own brass and that as soon as it hit the floor it became their brass. I told the guy that they should be paying me to shoot there instead of the other way around if they keep MY brass. Thwey do not want the steel cases so I would be able to gather those. Can I reload them tho?

You can actually reload steel cases as long as they are the right primer type. If the flash hole in a single hole they will reload. They will be harder on the dies, so you might want to consider a different range where you may be able to harvest some brass left by others.

I had a range employee tell me my brass was theirs once. I told him to pound sand. Seemed to take it OK actually and didn't bother me after that, but I never went back either.
