I got a friend that picks up all the brass (decent usable) at a local public range on a state wma. After about a year of taking it home, sorting, polishing, and bagging it, sold it to a commercial reloading company for 10-25 cents a piece (Magnum rifles some even in .30/378 !). Got a check for $1,250.00 !!!
Went and bought a Sako 75 in .22 PPC.

Said it paid better than picked up Aluminum cans.

I picked up 2200 rds of once fired win 9mm at a match last year and wasn't the only one picking up the brass. It too was 90% Winchester USA as Winchester sponsered the match.
The other 10% was Hornady/Frontier. Boy! - what nice brass !!!
