i police everything but i shoot about 1000 rounds per week at practice and more before a competition. I annually shoot about 80-100,000 rounds. i wear out brass a little quicker than most.
most of the ranges around me are always picked clean of everything even steel cases and berdan primed. 22's are about the only things you find.
for about every 50 shots i loose 1 piece of brass. that adds up to about 1600+ pieces of brass that go awol.
plus range pick up brass is not always up to passing my quality control. i still take it but it goes in a separate bucket.
even with buying brass i still come in cheaper than buying retail and it supplements my brass stockpile.
with shooting competitions i like to run larger lots of ammo for consistency. usually around 5000 round lots.
just to test a load i will run 1000 rounds and shoot it in a day or two.
