Reviews Summary

The Caldwell Brass Catcher Picatinny Mount effectively captures brass from various firearms, aiding reloaders in maintaining their brass. However, many users report durability issues, especially with the fabric melting and tiny screws causing mounting challenges. While it serves its primary function well, compatibility with certain scopes can lead to frustration.

What Reviewers Are Saying

Product Effectiveness

75%

Most reviewers agree that the brass catcher does an excellent job of collecting spent casings. Users are generally satisfied with how it works, mentioning its efficiency in keeping the shooting area clean and the ease of emptying the bag, though the nylon material can melt under high heat.

Durability Concerns

60%

Several reviewers highlighted issues with the durability of the catcher. After repeated use, the fabric tends to develop holes, and some have experienced melting due to hot brass. This raises concerns about the product’s long-term reliability under heavy use.

Mounting Compatibility

70%

Compatibility with different mounts and scope setups is a prominent theme. Users reported difficulties when using forward-offset one-piece mounts, indicating that the product's design is not universally compatible with all setups, which can complicate its use.

Mounting Mechanism

55%

The small screws used for the mounting mechanism drew criticism from multiple reviewers. Many found them challenging to adjust, particularly when trying to reposition the catcher. Suggestions for a more user-friendly mounting solution, such as thumb-turn screws, were noted.

Value for Money

50%

Despite some concerns, many users feel that the Caldwell Brass Catcher offers good value for the price. Its functionality, especially for reloaders looking to collect their brass, seems to outweigh its drawbacks for a considerable number of buyers.

Good product but..

As mentioned in another review, its not great if you have a one piece scope mount. I was able to position mine after the mount but it only covers the ejection port around 90%. May be worse for others depending on the position of the mount. In terms of function, it does what it needs to do and does it well, hence the 4 stars :)

Almost perfect

Works great but 2 things to make it perfect. 1) thumb turn mounting instead of a star head Allen key to install would be better since I plan on using it on multiple different rifles so it's annoying to use an Allen key to switch gun to gun...and hope you remember the key when you go to the range. 2nd thing is if you run a tavor or similar bore height rifles it will not work. The brass bag slides side to side but it would be nice if you could cant the bag too for rifles like the tavor

works

I reload and save as much brass as i can. I have 2 of the collapsable type and saw this one and thought it would be better that brass might would be better to go in it. And it does quite a bit. The only problem I really found is that carrying it in the woods hunting it want collapse or anything else to stay out of the way. I'm a country hick who neither has or wants one of these fancy shootin places so i can only use woodsman experiences to qualify this product.
