I work with recruiters often, and they're typically very open about salary ranges. I would say 60-70% of the time you can get a range in the second message - either they reach out, you ask for the range, and they give it, or you reach and ask for the range in the first message, and they give it. You get a couple old school folks who really want "a 5 minute chat" before disclosing, and they're easy to block and report.
