I have shot in NM, AZ, CO, OK, and TX and you always got your brass back. “Tapers, steel setters and brass pickers”. You had to be one of them. I reloaded the same brass 7, 8 times. Moved to Florida 10 years ago. Then and now all matches are a “lost brass” match. Yup, had a name for those anomalies. I don’t think this is a thing of the past, rather where you are.
