I have been saving my 5.56/.223 brass since I got a S&W Sport and a Mini-14 about 6 years ago. Neither has been shot much, but the Sport probably has seen 50% more rounds than the Ruger. I wanted to see what I had so today I washed them up and counted
That is 823 pieces of brass. I thought it would be at least a thousand. Some are from Curt. He got his AR 2 or 3 years ago but hasn't shot it much. I know I haven't recovered all I shot so if I'm estimate 177 list that would be 1000. Between us we have probably shot 300 to 500 at most of the Russian steel cased ammo . I tend to shoot that in my Mini-14 since it throws cases about 25 feet .
I should set up to load these but right now I seriously doubt I could get components. I do have 1000 Small Rifle primers I bought a couple years ago just in case I decided to load them someday
