Seems to me there are 2 kinds...the mesh one, which Ive heard causes all sorts of jams and stovepipes, and the plastic box kind, which is heavy and bulky....
I think once you learn how your ejector works you can probably set a 5 gallon bucket in the right area to catch your spent casings...seems like all my brass gets ejected at 4 o clock and can land anywhere from 5ft-15ft away |

cloth - but I think its about $60. Doesn't use straps http://www.brasscatchers.com/store/b...l#Anchor-35882 plastic - is less expensive. Doesn't use straps, either Hack Last edited by btefft; February 3, 2009 at 03:18 AM. |

I bought the one from Brownell's. It was 30$ but it doesn't melt. It is made of ballistic nylon. I read that the 10$ ones are normal nylon and will melt.
Works as expected. The velcro strap is a little long and takes a little manipulation to manuever around my scope.

I've seen someone at the range use a fine lined fishing net in a PVC holder that was placed next to the gun that caught the brass as it was ejected.
