I was thinking about the amount of brass my 15-22 will be spitting out when I take it out to plink, probably hundreds of rounds. I wouldn't mind doing some desert shooting, but I want to keep my footprint at zero while firing. Do they sell something like this off the shelf?

At my local range, I saw a homemade brass catcher that I really liked. The base was a C clamp, that could be secured to the edge of the bench. The pole was made from electrical conduit. The conduit passed through a coupler of some type because he could adjust the height and lock it with a set screw. The hoop was made from some heavy gauge wire, shaped like a rectangle, maybe 24X18 inches. Some 1/4 in. netting sewn around the hoop, with enough material to form a pouch. I thought it was the coolest thing. I can see making one for those desert/BLM shoots. Maybe use an umbrella base to keep the thing from flying away. Personally, I don't like having a net attached to my rifle.

That's not a bad idea. Something stationary with a big enough throat to catch ejected casings...

I'll have to look at that idea closer. I tend to agree with having a limp casing condom flopping around on the side would be annoying. Maybe an actual box, though.

You collect enough of that brass and its worth some money. The reload guys love to buy it up.

.22LR can't be reloaded. But you can recycle it, and after 10K rounds, get $1 back Seriously, though- recycle it! Better than throwing it in the trash.

I got a brass catcher off of Amazon- about $15-25 (I forget), and it clips on and works nicely. Holds about 40 rounds of 5.56/.223, about 50-60 of 300 BLK, or one heck of a lot of .22LR I'd imagine! Mark W.

What can I say, I like my condom full and upright and placed in a box.
