Went to the shooting range today to shoot the new springfeild XD 45 cal. Nice gun. The guy there let me take about 1/2 bucket full of brass. I was hoping to get alot of 45's. There wasnt any! I have about 400+ 9mm brass that i want to trade for about 200 or so 45's? anybody?

Some guys at the range do pick up select brass, especially .45.

.45 brass is getting harder to find, even online.

Hang on to that 9mm. Last time I was out they were asking $16.95 for a box.

Grabb all the brass you can I and others have been lectured by ommelanden staff for taking brass there excuse is new management doesn't allow taking any brass other than the brass you use!

Sounds like the employees have decided to start scrapping the brass for profit. What else would ommelanden use or keep it for?

[stephpd]

Some of the staff reloads. That's why thy get first dibs on range brass and stuff like .45 is never in the cans.

With the ammo shortage even 9mm brass is getting hard to come by. When Walmart can't keep WWB in stock for 9mm there aren't many alternative but reloading.

I don't reload, but one thing I've heard a lot:

When you find brass, even if it's not your caliber, GRAB IT UP!!!!

[LordJim]

i would if i had a 9mm pistol.

You never know when you will.

I've got .38 special revolvers and I'd like to get a .38 semi-auto, also. I wish I hadn't passed up on all .38 brass that I've come across over the years. Now I'm struggling to find enough to make reloading a meaningful endeavor.
