I am playing with the idea of reloading 7.62 x 39 rounds for hunting. problem being, the damn then sling brass about 10 yrds or more and I can only find 75% maybe 85% of the fired brass. I have a few ideas on how to make a shell catcher for it. I want to pick your brains to see if yall have any ideas.

I know I can find them on the net. but I am a cheap sob and looks like something I can make.

details:
I have a shell deflector mounted because I have a full lengh 3 - 9 X40 mounted
something that won't fell stange if I hunt with it

any input would be great.

Well, you could just take a friend with a baseball mitt and make him run for them...but he's have to be a really good friend (or well paid)!!

You might be able to rig something up based on your current brass deflector that would further deflect the brass more downward. Then put something like a piece of cardboard or even an open hard case to catch the brass.

cut a 2 to 4 inch place out of it,

couple things bother me, on having jamming problems and loading. I think I figured out how to mount it
