I only pick up range empties if I see the shooter loading from a box of factory ammunition. I do not/will not pick up mixed headstamp lots or any brass that has been reloaded because it may be quite 'used' as mentioned above. I always ask the shooter if they are going to claim their brass. If not, I reap the benefit. I also have shot the same brass up to about 30 times and have left it laying at the range since it had passed my threshold for use. Anyone who picks up mixed headstamp brass at the range must be VERY careful. If you are just getting started, I suggest you only use cases that you can ascertain the history of.
