    Brass collecting

    I have reloaded rifle for a while and am just starting to load pistol - mainly .45 acp. Are there any good brass collectors out there that someone could recommend. I shoot both indoors and outdoors........... Thanks

    If you mean a brass pickup device, I just got a device that is used to pick up nuts. www.seedsandsuch.com. Just roll it on the ground and it picks up the brass in a wire cage. I shoot USPSA and IDPA, greatest device since the reloading press. We had a shooter show up with one and now 6 other shooters got them.
    If you can't shoot good, at least look good shooting

        Do they really work as good on brass as the youtube video shows on nuts?

          The nut wizard is a great gizmo. At Sac Valley the pistol range is hard packed dirt with very little gravel, when the first nut wizard showed up we had shooters begging to pick up brass. Like I wrote earlier, 6 other shooters bought the wizard, it works that good. One of our shooters ( with too much time)mounted a rail and red laser on the handle! Boys and their toys!
          It will pick up 223 rifle brass also. One guy took it to the public range and had people all over him asking where he got it. Order 3 at a time and shipping is the same. For pistol brass order the extra small. Some of our shooters shoot at the Yolo range and it has a lot of grass and he said it works good there also. He said since getting the nutwizard and having the guy use it with brass duty, he gets back at least 95% of his brass back. 38 super shooter. Shooters want brass duty it is so easy!

              that looks like it would make picking up brass much easier. Might be worth it to get one. Just the reduced strain on your back from bending down to pick up brass would be worth it.

                Besides the strain on the old back, helps with keeping shirt tail tucked in and your hands clean.

                  I just ordered 3 of them.
                  I'm pretty sure I will sell the other two when people see me using mine...

                    Randall,

                    Post a review once you've tried it out.

                    Always nice to get a second opinion.

                            It works good for rimless cases.
                            Rimmed cases seem to hang up and let the brass fall out.
                            I'm buying them in quantity and re-selling them now.

                              Have you guys used these in the desert with any luck. There are lots of small rocks and hard pack where I shoot at and even though I try to get most of the shells to land on the tarp some got out of bounds. Also will the extra small pick up 22LR cases as well as 30-06?
