I'm not sure you taught him a lesson. You can bet he tries to sweep up every piece of brass and put it into that trash can,dukalmighty wrote:I was picking up brass at the indoor range today when the company owner showed up and took the broom from me as we were talking there were 2 other guys present he swept up the brass into a shovel and before I could say anything dumped it in the trash canI yelled whoa I was gonna reload that and he said I forgot you shoulda said something earlier
I then said besides do you realise how much a pound of brass is at the recyclers,I think he learned his lesson but I still had to dig that brass outta the trash,thank god it was just paper targets,Yep if ya ain't guessed it yet I -R- A Reloader
because he already knows how much per pound the recycler gets because he has been selling it.
Most folks wouldn't go to the effort of digging it back out of the trash, so he gets to sell most of it.
This is major peave with me, selling brass for scrap instead of keeping it in ammunition. If someone wants to sell brass back to reloaders, that's great. But to sell it for scrap is just wrong.
