My lucky day at the range......

On one side of me are two guys shooting factory 9mm and .45, all landing behind me and they don't want it. On the other side of me is a guy shooting .38 special, .357 Mag's and .45 Acps. Ask's me if I want his brass, which of course I did. A few minutes later, a guy walks up and hands me a bucket filled with 38's and 9mm, fired once. Took me 3 hours at home to separate all the brass. It's great when you see the factory boxes and you know its new....

I love leaving the range with more reloadable brass than I produced.
