Pistol reloaders: How do you catch your brass?

[gotgunz]

It's called "bend over and pick it up."

Otherwise...The Nut Wizard!

With my back and knee getting worse as I age this "nut wizard" has my undivided attention!

I've used one of those before. It works OK. Better with pistol brass than with rifle brass.

I just sweep it up into a pile, bend over and pick it up and then ***** for the next 3 days about my sore back. Works for me.

Bend down and pick it up! thats what I do

[johnrunner89]

If bending over hurts your back, just bend your knees down real low (like a catcher in baseball) to pick it up.

It's funny how most people I see at the range pick up after every magazine because they know if they don't, people will assume they don't collect their brass and zoom by to collect In some people's eyes its like people dropping nickles on the floor and not picking them up lol

If you look at the price of once fired brass in .45 ACP for example, each case is worth $0.07- more than a nickle! I am not inclined to be a brass poacher at the range so I have paid $70 per 1000 for once fired brass.

I shoot 10MM which is real hard to get. I pick up my brass after each clip is fired. I wish I could poach brass at the range but not to many people shoot 10MM. If they did, "I'd be a poach'n."

Here's a cool idea.

This is exactly what I was designing in my head as I was reading the first post...except the one I was thinking of making was made from wire coat hangers, window screen, and duct tape. Yeah, I've got a little redneck in me.

Bring younger shooters with you---make them pick up brass!

[high_revs]

I saw a guy at the range that built a brass catcher out of pvc and netting. It seemed to be pretty effective and lightweight.

What that me (if you're in the Bay Area)?



Mine's not effective for pistol. I need to create a basket type front, so basically another 12 gauge wire towards the front, and a longer tube for height. Even at the highest point, my .45 brass was going over it. But I think if I have it high enough, move a little closer to it and have a basket type front, it'll catch all my brass. Another guy has one setup just like that. I hardly see him picking up his brass.

It ain't pretty but effective for sure on rifle brass.

You practice shooting Homie Style. Then you can shoot w/ your right & catch w/ your left..

Nah, that would just be silly!
