Is it better to spend 2 or 3 bucks less on steel-case 5.56, or get brass 5.56 and keep the empties to sell them to recycling places/reloaders once you've gathered enough of them?

I don't care, just pick up your cases so I'm not stepping on them when I step up to the bench.

>empty hulls are litter

No reloader is going to buy brass from you ya fucknut. There may be some commercial recyclers who will buy spent brass in bulk, but I've never heard of them.
Would be a fun idea to set up a coinstar machine at the local range for you to dump brass into.
>>
>>32607915
Yes, it is. Unless you only shoot a couple dozen rounds a year, you should reload.

Well, I picked up shooting as a hobby basically right when I turned 18, and thus far I've fired at least 800 rounds collectively... so.

Fuck, I'm stupid and forgot to say WHEN I turned 18. August. so, bout 6 months of pewpews

>>32608243
the range faces the other direction, duh.
>>
>>32608248
You should probably invest in Reloading then. It might not save you much money (depends on the caliber and the components you buy) but you get better ammo and are more immune from scares and hoarders.
>>
>>32608274
Well, I shoot 5.45, 7.62x39, 5.56, and .308, but I'm going to sell my .308 soon, and I'm pretty sure it's the only caliber worth actually reloading.
>>
>>32608273
So you're shooting backwards out of the range?

>>32607915
That wholly depends if you think the up front costs of buying reloading dies, powder, primer, and bullets for use in spent brass and THEN the cost of spending time reloading that brass is more worth it to you than just buying slightly cheaper steel case ammo.

Shit I've misread the point of your OP. Oh well, I might as well post because it's relevent to the thread.
>>
>>32609070
*and I forgot the most important part of all, the cost of the reloader itself! Fuck me sideways and call me a chink, I'm going to bed.

Meh, not everyones got the time, space, or inclination. Small volume shooters dont get much savings from reloading extremely common calibers and new shooters wont see better groups because theyre not always great shots. That said, its still good to collect your brass because you might one day reload and the thousands of cases will come in handy.
