Brass catcher ideas?

I've often looked at those. Can they be put up by one person ?

It's a bit of a pain, but do-able by one. A 10x10 is about the limit. It's easier if you skip the roof and just use it as a frame with the side walls. I've seen an 8x8 model that would be handier.
 
Shooting from the bench testing semi-auto pistols for accuracy and function, I used a cardboard document filing box about 9" x 12" x 2' set on the bench opposite the ejection port, with a rock in the bottom for stability. Not a very elegant solution, but it worked.
 
Turns out that .32acp brass is unavailable online. Unless you want to pay 75 cents a piece.

Given that I’m starting my career as a 32 acp handloader with only 150 pieces, and given how many I lose each go around, I need a better brass catching solution or I’ll be out of business real soon.

Right now, I set up an extra cardboard target stand to my right, so the ejected brass hits the cardboard and doesn’t fly off into the brush to join my lost 762x25 brass. This method gives me about 2/3 recovery rate.

I’m thinking of draping a towel over the catcher target, to lessen the cardboard bounce.

Have you all found a better way to recoup your unusual-caliber brass?
The recent arrival of a mail order package changes the picture for those of us still living in the Great Ammo Depression

This sweet little piece of tactical gear did not even make it as far as the dining-room table before it was strapped onto my right hand

Now I feel like I’m ready to survive in a future wasteland, where brass is longer manufactured, and the only men who can stay in the fight are the men who catch their own brass

When the assailant or home invader finds himself looking down the mouth of your Graco Mark 1, he will know that you aren’t just joshing around

A club officer built one of these for each range shooting location at our local range.....haven't tried it yet....I usually just shoot where I've layed out a blanket. When I'm done I just bring the corners together and scoop them up into a plastic bottle.....

Guess I ought to try this one out....who knows maybe I'll like it. ;)

Nice rig there. You can work on your target practice, while your brass plays a game of Horse.
 
I made this one decades ago when I shot at a indoor range. I have a top that goes on it so they don't go over. I still use it today when I shoot on my own property. Just makes it easier to collet the brass. I put a plastic bag inside, so all I need to do is lift the bag out and I'm done. It's 100% effective if your brass ejects to the side. Those that go over your head you will have to go looking.
