I always ask.

But just discard the cracked or buldged 45 cases. i also don't pick up the really dirty cases too. If you tumble your own brass plus once fired brass, you can cut an hour off of the tumbling time.

If I retumble my brass, an hour and a half is all I need. but if it's really filthy range brass that been reloaded, my tumbler runs for a good 3 hours before I get it sparkling.

Pick it up and don't worry.

I've even trained no-relaoders to sweep their brass back to the wall so I can pick through it instead of sweeping it out past the firing line.

Got to love yuppies and newbies. They don't reload and always want to help you scoop up their brass so you can svae some bucks.
