For safety reasons, it's a reasonable demand that the range make known its rules to all patrons. When I go to a new range, I keep my head on a swivel and keep an eye out for signs with the rules on them. If at any point I am told or I see a sign that says something along the lines of "Pick up your own brass only" I adhere to the rule as well as I can (but I don't get heartbroken if I accidentally pick up a few too many). If I don't see an equivalent rule posted, nor am I informed of the rule, you better believe that I'm going to pick up as many casings as I can.
Each pistol casing is worth about 3 cents a piece to me, almost a nickel. If you saw people just dropping nickels on the ground everywhere, and it wasn't a fountain or there were no posted rules against picking them up, almost anyone would be scrambling around to collect them.
