    I have a round 1 gallon jug that I cut an opening into opposite the handle about 1/3 the circumference of the jug. Makes it east for me to toss brass in there as I go, or walk around and pick it up.

      I use this when I'm with a group of multiple people at a private range. It gives a nice target to toss a handful of brass in at once. You can buy a lid for it for not too much extra. Can never have enough buckets lying around! Beyond that, I'll just toss it back in my range bag or whatever else I have with me.

        Small pillow case.

        Revolver brass goes back in the plastic case. All semi-auto brass gets put in the same bag. Sometimes I use a 12 pack soda box to put the brass in because I bring soda with me when I go camping and shooting for a few days.

          I mark my brass with a red sharpie to ID it. Also, I police the area of foreign brass before shooting to be a little more cautious.

          I tend to make lots of 100 and toss them in freezer bags and then put them back into the bags they come out of before heading out.....works for me

            Gallon ziplock bags have always worked good for me.

              Gallon freezer zip lock bags or a 2-3 gallon bucket if I am going to literally pick up alpt of range brass. I have several ammo cans full of cleaned and tumbled brass right now. Haven't had the need to pick up brass besides my own in awhile.

                That's what I use. Double it up. Throw it away when done. Get them now while you can!

                  I bought a few small wire mesh baskets with handles at the dollar store. At the end I hand them out and everyone helps pick up the brass. I like the wire mesh because dirt and rocks fall through. Before that I just brought a 5 gallon bucket.

                        I just got a new range bag that won't allow me to do this, without getting the bag dirty.

                        Anybody got any good tips/ideas for picking up and transporting used brass?
                        Cut the end off of an assembled FLAT RATE SMALL USPS box and use it as a scoop.

                        As for bags, I now carry all of my used brass in a different bag because I do not care to get things dirty, Of course, I intend to take all of the brass around me when I do this, so I got a messenger bag or seperate cloth/canvas bag that I fold up and stick inside my range bag. Actually, it kinda folds up and fits inside the usps box which sits inside on top of my range bag...

                          Homer bucket works for me if I am shooting all day outdoors. The bucket is also my trash container. I set a trash bag on top of the brass.

                          Ziplocks for indoor range.
