Collecting your brass when spotlighting

[duncan61]

I always tilted the rifle and caught the empty brass and placed them in a icecream container next to me as if they went on the floor and were stepped on it would take 48 hours in the polisher to get the brass clean again.

As with all forms of shooting, I eject into my other hand and put into my pocket. Try and catch most but if I miss a few here or there then so be it, as tends to happen when in the middle of a mob of oinkers.
If you lose a few it’s only a few bucks here and there and I consider well worth it to be hunting.

22lr stay where they land, 223, 243 & 308 I grab as I eject the cases or collect before moving on so I can use them for reloading

I am a lefty and usually the driver. With a LH rifle the brass Goes into the cab if I do not stop it with a open palm when working the bolt. Never considered it a drama. If I know I am in the passenger seat for the night I tend to pick / use a RH rifle. This is only for CF. Rim fire just goes wherever.

Thanks for the input everyone, I reckon Ive just got to learn to go a bit slower and catch my empties. Although being a natural lefitie shooting right handed bolt action I look like a disabled T-Rex juggling custard at the best of times HAA.!

You need something like this: -

That's what I use.
Brass catchers are illegal in NSW though.

I know I read this recently and my first thought was wtf are brass catchers illegal?
Another strange law
