BrassMagnet netting to catch your brass?
Interesting product:
http://www.brassmagnet.com/ Quote:
Anyone have any idea of where to get netting tight enough to capture pistol brass, but flexible enough to fold up? It would need to be at least 8'x12' to be useful, although a longer roll isn't out of the question (split the cost of a longer roll?). A tarp works, but this sounds like it would be more convenient (and trap less dirt).

Actually, I'm really close to starting (just need powder and set up the 650), but I've been saving my brass for three years. I have three buckets full of 9mm just waiting for me.

Gryff, you sound just like me with my 550, 2 weeks!
I did just load some 223 on my single stage. Going out tomorrow morning to test about 8 different loads. Once I get that done I have to get started on the pistol reloading. 9, 40, 40 long, 40 minor, 40 minor long, and 45, and maybe 38. I have about 5 buckts of brass. Thank god I got that brass sorter. Works great. I have been cleaning brass over the past 4 years, so at least I have a jump on that. |

Some guns throw brass way father than this net can cover. I think a vertical net would be more effective.

Theres a little do dad that actually goes on your gun that collects brass, from the videos ive seen it didnt seem to really get in the way. Im sure if you empty it after every mag the weight wouldnt be to big of an issue.

You don't want to run something like that when practicing for competitions. You want to run the gun just like it would be when competing.

Well, Id also seeing myself running a bit more then 144 inches during a stage also.
As for the netting. Shade cloth sold at ace hardware / home depot may work, or at some vineyard supply houses they have a similar netting for covering grapes from birds, but I think its a bit to big to catch brass. Last edited by zfields; 08-23-2010 at 9:50 PM.. |

I bought one from my AR, it is decent. On rare occasions it can sag and end up blocking your ejection port. Almost once every magazine a casing will slip between the rifle and bag and fall onto your hand and burn you. They are decent but toying around with it so much, I am cool just chasing my brass and taking a loss on some of it.

Once you have a plan for practicing action pistol, you'll understand.

Very true, my only practise is on the course itself.
Either way check out shade cloth, 6' wide by up to 100 long, relitivly inexpensive. For the "frame" maybe .700 irrigation tubing? Flexible, cheap, and probly enough weight not to fly off on you. |

I will. Great suggestion regarding the cloth.

I tried those, but they kept causing FTF/FTEs in my XD.

Gryff, you can find what you're looking for at GI surplus stores.

Figuring that out was the hardest part. Otherwise, it is pretty easy to do. If you want a full-blown trigger job without sending the gun in, look at the Springer Trigger Kit. If you want something that is a little less expensive, but also improves the trigger noticeably, then look at the Powder River Match Target Easy Fit Trigger Kit. Both products are winners.

I also do some advance/retreat/lateral shooting drills, but the bulk of the practice is easily done in a fairly small area. Anytime. We could meet at Richmond and do the modifications in the scoring shack easy enough.

I noticed her. I couldn't tell if she was 13 or 23. That's pretty much a red flag for me...

Yeah, I have a plastic tarp that I use, but the netting is better since it will allow dirt/dust to fall through, and should fold up more tightly.

OMG, I was reading this thread and it took 26 posts to mention this. Way to GO "In this City." I was thinking the net was what she was wearing and she came with it. For $120.00 to pick up my brass. What a deal. Last edited by Chivas; 08-25-2010 at 12:05 PM.. |

Sorry, I meant 26 posts, not threads, for someone to mention the chick in the picture. Also, I was complimenting "In This City" who posted it. |
