Homemade Brass Catcher
I really enjoy reloading. My problem is that with just one leg its a challenge to pick up the brass ejected from my autos. So, I made me a brass catcher out of an old t-shirt and a length of hot/cold PVC pipe from Lowes. It works even better that I had anticipated and it didn't cost hardly anything.

Here are the Pics:

Here is the thing put together. PVC and old T-shirt. The black clips keep it from sagging.


Here is the frame I made from the PVC pipe


Here is how I take the frame apart to put in in my backpack for when I go to the range.


It ain't patented so feel free use/modify my homemade brass catcher.

I took a 2.5 gal plastic cat litter jug and cut out most of the flat panel out of one side. Then hung a piece of plastic sheet on the opening with a piece of duct tape. It's light and easy to carry to the range. When I get there I throw a sand bag inside to anchor it. So far it's caught all my 308 brass out of my BAR before they land in the Wisconsin snow.
