Recovering lead for bullet casting means you have to sift to avoid carrying too much dirt home...
Policing brass cartridge cases requires the same technique

If your sole adjenda is to police brass from the ground you might look in the Dillon catalog.They have an item that looks like one of those kids popcorn poppers,made of heavy screen that you just roll; on the ground + a bit of pressure forces the cases into the tumbler assembly.I think the link is bluepress.com.Best of luck.

Norman, do those things come in different sizes that you know of? My gun club uses them. The instructors keep the ground nice because we do a lot of rolling around on the ground and shooting from our bellies, sides, and knees. I shoot a .22 and it doesn't pick my brass up. Seems to work great with the larger calibers, though.

I don't know how well it works + am not an employee of Dillon but I will say that all of my presses + every other thing that I have purchased from them has been top of the line.They also offer a 3 level set of baskets that will "sort" "your brass by calibre.In the past I have gone out to the range + filled up buckets(to be sorted later). I'm sorry ,Back to this forum,I have a lovely pic of a mama cat + new kit that I want to post but don't know how.Can I email it to someone + then they can post it or can someone tell me how to do this? Thanks.

If they have different sized baskets, its probable that my club is using larger ones. I'll post the pic for you if you want me to. You have to upload them to a site, like Photobucket. Then copy the link to that picture in your post here. If you don't have an account on Photobucket, you can make one easily for free. If you don't want to go through all that, i'll send you my email.
