Is there some kind of tool that I can drag over 22LR spent cases to pick them up easier?

Got a new place to shoot and it's clean and I want to keep it that way.

What is the ground like the cases are on? Battery powered vacuum cleaner if grass or hard surface.

they make little roller type wire football shaped things.
I don't know if they pick up 22lr cases though.

Yeah, they are available in the Dillon catalog, I don't know if they have one for 22 LR either. When my kids were little, bunch of us went down to my range to shoot in the valley. Not wanting to pick up all our brass at that time I figured we could do it tomorrow. Since I reload it all I wanted it back in the loading room. My middle son was about 5 I think + I told him if you pick up the brass I would pay him a penny apiece. After a while, he came back up with a big grin + 2 handfuls of 22 LR cases. What are you gonna do? Pay him of course + next time be more spesific.


Never mistake motion for action.

Use a big push broom to get 'em in a pile.
Then a shovel and buckets.

At one time I was considering getting into
making my own bullets from .22lr cases.
Gathered up about 10 buckets full. Some rocks
of course. In the end I changed my mind
and sold it all for brass scrap. Discounted
10% of weight for the rocks. Still came
out with over $100.

When I was going out shooting a lot. I'd
pick up the loaded .22's. Amazing how quick
it was to pick up 400 rounds. Just turned
them around a bit to a fresh spot and they'd
nearly 90% would fire. Others had a
misfire and just eject 'em.
