Ideas for rounding up brass.

Kman · Mar 19, 2011

I shoot in my backyard sometimes and I try to police all brass for reloading and keeping it from tearing up the mower deck and becoming a projectile.

At some point I will probably pour a cement pad, but until then I have been putting down a tarp that gets most of the strays.

Just wondering what you all do. Thanks.

This guy really could have used a nut wizard.

I use tarps too. It's a little time consuming but if you don't want the cops having evidence and you don't use a revolver it's what has to be done.

A magnet

I recall an ad for a mesh / net that you could lay out to catch brass. It seemed much easier to handle then either a heavy canvas tarp or a light but unruly blue tarp.

I've also seen the "wizard" thing in action. Worked OK but seemed have problems with grass.

nut wizard looks pretty cool

Are you shooting from a bench? Prone? Standing? Moving?

There are a lot of brass catchers out there for tabletop benchrest and some that attach to your firearm.

Another idea is to build a frame to open a bedsheet/tarp upright if you are standing. Wind could cause it to turn into a sail though.

I have the Brass Grabber, no complaints so far.

Except I just noticed they jumped up the price quite a bit. Yeow.

Or you could find the right combination of powder, powder charge, also the right powder that performs well in your weapon have them eject right where you shoot. I use a charge in my .45 that drops them all right at my feet so I don't have to be a "nut wizard" to pick them up. I also load my black weapon so they are not strune all over the land scape, mind you they are not at my feet but I don't have to walk all over the range/yard to find them. Just my .02 cents worth.

Mostly standing. Only about 100 feet longest shot.

My goal is to coat the whole area with brass... :lol2:

Why not buy a brass catcher? (google it lol. you'll find 'em)

Yard Vac perhaps?

Instead of an Easter Egg hunt how about getting all the kids in the neighborhood to hunt for brass? :innocent0

This should work, but it's probably best for rifles.....
