I save all my good brass. I use to shoot sporting clays all the time to the point where I was reloading over a 1,000 shells a year.
Any hunters, shooters, or trappers here?

I save and reload about 4-5 handgun calibers, rifle we reload about 4-5 calibers. Back when I was shooting alot of trap I would go through atleast 2-3 thousand a year all reloads.
Reloads for handguns we got .45ACP, 40SW, 38Special, 41Mag, 44Mag. Rifles we reload are .223, 30-06, 30-30, 45-70, .243. Shotguns we can do 12 or 20 gauge.
The only brass I've been saving are 9mm, .44 mag, .357 mag, .223, 7.62x54R, 30.06 and .300 Win Mag. Unfortunately almost all my 7.62x39 ammo is steel cased.
I used to hunt and shoot alot when I was KID , I'm going on 54 now and never get to do the fun things anymore. We used to hunt dove here where I live now within a few miles. That was back in the 60's , you can forget about that now HA 
We also had a 500 acre cattle ranch in the middle of NOWHERE Florida back when I was 18-21 . I wanted the city back then and now I want the country
Loved duck hunting in the Glades but dove was my favorite.
Someone broke into my old apt and stole my 22 rifle and 30.06. All I have now is a hand me down Police special 22 wrf pistol and a 20 ga pump shotgun.
I 've done a little clay bird shooting , that's fun !!!!!!!!
I need to get out and fire off a few rounds somewhere

My dad's side of the family is full of hunters and fishers. Dad used to trap quite a bit, but he doesn't do much with it anymore. He used to own a bait shop with his brother in Waterloo, IA. These days, he's an ice fishing NUT. My parents used to raise Walker coonhounds. I did a lot of fishing and quite a bit of hunting when I was a little younger, but it never really interested me. I do have a really pretty Ruger .22 though. I'm from Lime Springs, IA... About 5 miles from the MN border. I go to school at Luther College in Decorah, IA right now but am transferring to UNI in Cedar Falls in the fall. Don't know if you know any of those places, but possibly!

I know those places my aunt went to college at Luther and we wnet fly fishing there quite a bit.
I have a Rock River Arms AR-15 National Match and my dad has a Bushmaster AR-15. I think alot of people are getting them now cuz of our new President Osama and they are afraid he'll ban them along with high-cap magazines and such. AR-15's, M14s and any other semi-auto rifle has gone up in price alot this year alone cuz of him. He's says there assualt rifles but they aren't in order for it to be an assualt rifle it has to fire full auto which the don't.
