Caldwell 122560 Brass Trap Pistol/Rifle Black Heat-Resistant Mesh Shell Catcher
The Caldwell Brass Trap is a heat-resistant mesh shell catcher built for shooters who reload or simply want to keep their brass organized at the range. Whether you're running a rifle or pistol, this shell catcher mounts quickly to your bench or tripod setup and collects fired casings as they eject, saving you from crawling through grass or combing the range floor after every session. For reloaders especially, the ability to catch brass before it hits the ground means fewer lost or damaged cases and more time actually shooting.
Setup is straightforward: the catcher assembles on a flat surface or attaches to any standard tripod equipped with a 1/4-20 male threaded stud (tripod sold separately). The black heat-resistant mesh handles the temperature of freshly fired casings without degradation, and the durable construction is designed to withstand the typical abuse of range use. When you're done shooting, unzip the bottom and dump your brass into a bucket or tumbler—no disassembly required.
The real appeal here is practicality. Brass catchers eliminate the mindless task of post-range cleanup and protect your cases from damage that happens when they bounce across hard-packed ground. A carry bag is included, so the whole rig breaks down and fits into your range kit alongside your ammo, targets, and tools. This is honest gear that simply works—no complicated setup, no fancy features, just a mesh trap that does what it promises.
