Been shooting 38 super before moving to Canada, back then the lost brass is not a concern, all clubs has its own brass boys ( like golf caddies), regardless of the match level, so expect 95% of your brass will be back after shooting the stage. In Canada, Since labor is expensive here, I switched to 9 major, just used IF $35/K. I only picked up my fired brass during my practice shoots at my local range, my 9mm brass ilfe cycle is between 5-6 reloads. after that will use for my Classic loads.
