Chapo Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 For those reloaders that pick up their brass at range, do you use any tools for it? I made this video... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelCityShooter Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 It seems to work well on that flat, sandy area you showed. How is it on grass or coarser gravel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stock Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Most of our ranges in the north east are rocks mixed with brass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrel45 Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 They seem to work okay on sand, grass and concrete. The one i have struggles with smaller cases but does good with 40 and larger. The only real complaint that I have is the handle. I ended up replacing mine with a mop handle as the stock one kept slipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leezway Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 I have one I use quite often and it works well, once you learn how to do it… I suffer from back problems and it’s been a lifesaver for me. If you work it across the side and you have the the right pressure it works really good on dirt, sand, concrete and works good on grass too. I have friends that try and can’t keep a couple of cases in the basket but with a little finesse it actually works pretty damn good and I can fill it up…. I do have agree with Squirrel… you need a wooden mop/broom handle(a quality one) it will make all the difference in the world… I rather it not collapse and work versus the alternative.

LuvDog Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Any comments on how it works on gravel? I would think it would pick up all the rocks too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would be correct on gravel, but it will also depend on the size of said gravel… there are a couple places I’ve been that it was very difficult and did not work because the gravel was thicker than 22lr and as big as acorns… (you do realize that This is a re-marketed nut / acorn picker?) so in reality it has its limitations…. But it works good enough…. You’ll definitely figure out the tricks after you use it for a while. Save your back and your knees!!!!

Chapo Posted June 3, 2022 Author Share Posted June 3, 2022 Like leezway said, it does pick up gravel. Not only that, but it also picks up 22lr cases. But in general, it saves you time and your back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to learn new ways to do things… and I have to say that is one of those tools that helps me still do what I love to do, shoot & reload…. good luck I think it’s a good product… hope it works well for you….
