Hi all - I just found this handy little thing in the IDPA Tactical Journal as an ad and thought it might be useful for matches and sport shooters alike. It also looks like they have some cool portable stand products as well.

 

Brass Wizard by Uniquetek.com

 

 

From their site:

The Brass Wizard™ is designed to make gathering your spent cartridge cases efficient and easy ... as well as saving your back in the process. The Brass Wizard™ quickly picks up most centerfire metallic pistol and rifle cases, and shot hulls. I've even used it to pick up .50 BMG brass!

 

Just roll the Brass Wizard™ over the cases and they pop into the basket! It picks up brass from sand, dirt, grass and hard surfaces. It will hold about 25 to 35 pistol cases before needing to be emptied.

 

The Brass Wizard will pick up:

• Pistol Brass: .380 Auto, 9mm, .38/.357, 40 S&W, .45 ACP, 45 Colt, and up!

• Rifle Brass: .223, .308, 30-06, 45-70, etc.

• Shotgun Hulls: .410 bore through 12 GA.*

• 50 BMG: Yes, even 50 BMG and other large bore rifle brass.*

* If you want to pick up only shot hulls or 50 BMG, and exclude pistol brass, see the Brass Wizard II™ below.

 

Features

• Will not damage the brass cartridge cases or shot hulls

• Eliminates bending over

• Eliminates handling of dirty brass

 

• Minimizes pick up of dirt, stones and debris

 

Thought someone might find value from it.

It only works on fairly hard surfaces. Nice for indoor ranges, a waste of time outdoors if you shoot on grass/sand/gravel.

I have one, it's awesome. Best thing ever for reloaders.

I've seen people using them at matches in the conditions you mention. I'm going to pay closer attention next time to see if they are really working.

If you're on fairly short or matted grass, it's actually not terrible. Col Mortimer was using one at the last Shongum match and it seemed to work fine. I plan to use mine there from now on. But you're right about sand and gravel, it just won't work.

Nope, don't need one, we have Nick and Harry.

I want one. Not that I reload, but some of the outdoor ranges I've been to are LITTERED with brass, some of which appears aged. Collect enough of it, and I may be able to buy some more ammo with the scrap XD.

I've used this on uneven sparse dirt/grass/gravel ground at the MCRPC and it worked great!

Vlad,

 

I used Mike's at Shongum in grass, and it worked like a charm, a lot better than I expected.

I've had one for a few years. It certainly is a back saver. After time they get worn I guess and you miss some cases but, not an issue.

 

The biggest problem I have is remembering to bring it to the range.

Hell I never tried one on a nicely manicured lawn so if it works, then great. We've tried them at both CJ and OB and we were disappointed with the results, on the other hand we use them the OB indoor matches and there it shines. It isn't a bad technology, it just not the answer for everything.

Save your revolver stuff, because your out of the bucket crew dude.. lol

 

You can have Elvis's welfare brass,,,, not sure can I call that brass,, naaaa, aluminum scrap,,, yea that's it...

don't scrap it unless you know it's either no good, or not re-loadable. People who reload will take it and toss you a few bucks, it's worth more to a reloader than a scrap yard and you will wind up with a few more bucks that way also..

Brass Whore...That's Me!!!

 

You have to be quick with the hands or that stuff burns!!! I know.

Much cheaper option is to look for an Acorn collector, same thing but about $30 cheaper.

WHOA!!!!!!! low blow Harry, how many other posts am i being bashed it. Ouch! Btw i just ordered a press and I don't want you to have my brass. i'm rolling another tarp over your tarp.

Good, I was trying to figure out a way to separate that aluminum junk you bring to matches so I don't have to pick it out 1 by 1. Good thinkin'

I was going to go there but I already had 1 Low Blow and figured I'd let someone else field that one..

I need to find a new squad

And change your clothes before you come to shoot, we smell the tacos/barritos 100ft away..................

 

I gotta shoot my 9mm more often so you guys can have my steel-cased Tulo junk mixed-in with your nice brass casings! I think I have .45 ACP in aluminum also!

DAMN that's low

 

 

 

 

 

Love you Elvis.

Same here Elvis, don't you just feel the love...........

 

I just want to beat you fair and square with the carbines one day. No equipment failures for you or Jon next time. I now know how my guns works (thanks Ray Ray) so I can give you guys a run for your money!

How much is once fired brass worth (9mm specifically)? Wondering if its worth it to save my brass.

NJReloader is selling 500 peices for 25$

holy shit, i think that is borderline racist!, fugg the squad I need a new forum. I know how sensitive you old men are so i try to keep quiet but if you want to open this box then don't fear the demons.

 

and Qel save em if you ever plan to reload or want to send them to me. Also if u have enough I'm pretty sure some haters on this forum will buy em off of you.

Maybe i should just wear this on my back.

 

That's awesome Elvis! Remember, what doesn't kill you will make you stronger!

 

See you at the range soon.

I saw the range officer use one at rtsp
