    I don't remember the size, but I have a few of these left over from when I used to sell them.
    The ones I have are sized correctly for common cartridges like 9mm through 45 and 223 through 30-06.
    They are too small for shotshells.

      Yeah.

      I got one. I think the one meant for walnuts was the ideal one to get. It was around $49 I think and it was pretty decent. OH, it was the small one. The small one is the one you want I believe. If you go to the Dillon site you can have a look at it, then go to the nutwizard site and buy it from them OR get it from Dillon.

      They work BEST in grass or on pavement or smooth sand. If you got a lot of case sized gravel or whatever then you WILL get rocks. But it DOES save you from bending over a lot, not ALWAYS, but a lot... I am glad I have mine, but I still need to give it a proper test. Next time I go to Steealeae Peakeae I will...

        I have the small one and it works great for pistol cases on dirt.

          I borrowed one once, but said screw it, just too much stuff to bring to the range .
          I never got it to work well for me, but i wasnt that patient

            I have one and love it. Due to a screwed up back/hip and knees I can pick up brass without getting down to get it. I shoot mostly on hard packed sand.
            A 30cal will reach out and touch them. A 50cal will kick their butt.

              I took mine out to steel peake today to pick up brass and bullets after we were done shooting and guess what?

              I NEVER GOT TO USE IT BECAUSE THE GODDAMN PLACE HAS BROWN POSTS ALL OVER THAT SAY NO SHOOTING BEYOND THIS POINT AND THEY ARE PLACED AT THE GODDAMN ENTRANCE!

              I do not know if this is permanent or temporary BUT IT WAS CLOSED AND NOW I AM PISSED BECAUSE ALL OF THESE ASSHATS GOT IT SHUT DOWN WITH THEIR GARBAGE DUMPING AND BASICALLY BEING IDIOTS WHILE SHOOTING!

              There. I said it, the place was EMPTY all around the mountain and on our way out were TWO asshats parked RIGHT near where it said no shooting and the MALE asshat was teaching a female ASSHAT how to shoot. IT is too bad that NONE of them knew what the **** NO SHOOTING HERE means or NO SHOOTING BEYOND THIS POINT. I guess they were above the law... They were also within that 50 yard zone from the street/road where you are not supposed to shoot.

              We went to the mine shaft and found a little white bottle of green stinky **** that we decided to smoke on our way out to "cope with the pain" of seeing this place shut down... Un****ing believeable...

                I use the smallest one, on http://www.thenutwizard.com/ it's called the Ammo Wizard and shaped like a football. The ones on Ebay show Extra Small and Mini, but they look the same to me.

                Works great and makes pickup quick and easy on pistol and rifle, dirt and concrete. I use a .50 ammo can and hang the wire spreader on it - perfect fit.

                Add a Harbor Freight pickup tool to the other hand for the ones stuck in the cracks, under the bench, or buried in the dirt and you'll have a full can in no time without bending or getting your hands dirty.

                    I got one brass wizard and one Brass wizard Rimfire from Unique Tek. They're a little more expensive, but they have an extendable handle. The rimfire version works better for 380 thru 44. They don't work well over gravel or soft sand.

                      I feel your pain, one of the places I loved to shoot at was shut down, with all the couches, shot up TV's/ cans/ bottles/ garbage, and craploads of leftover cases and shells left all over. I kept telling people to clean up their act and tried to clean up that range but on more than one occasion. But you occassionally see those guys with a full auto something and beer, and its time to leave

                        I bought a couple. I gave the bigger one to my dad who shoots trap several times a week. I liked the smaller one but, I lost it.

                          Have had one for many years and take it to the range when I'm shooting pistol.
