There hasn't been "cheap" stuff in a year I'd say 
Last year I said to someone at the range "Gas prices? I wan't to know what they're going to do about ammo prices!"
Actually from an economics standpoint I expect we're at the top of the ammo/gun price bubble, and while there probably won't be a collapse in prices, there may even be some moderation because I think we've largely hit market saturation on firearms, and will probably have a similar effect on ammo in the next several months. Even ammoman is at $.55/round for berdan .308 and appears to have some in stock for a change.
With Iraq and Afganistan continuing however I think we'll still see a general elevation in prices for some time to come.

I'm using a (Canadian) military issue laundry bag with a fiberglass tent pole.
The bag is like a net and I pulled out the cord that hold's the bag when it's full and bent the tent pole to fit through it and left about 6-8 inches sticking out.
I drilled a series of holes in my shooting table and just poke the pole ends into the holes that apply to the firearm I'm using at the time to catch the brass.
When I'm prone I use a piece of 2x8 and poke the poles into that.
I reload and am using Norma match brass for my loads so every piece gets picked up.
Be glad you don't live up here and have to hunt through the snow to find where the brass has landed and melted it's way down. 9 times out of 10 I have to chip the brass out as it's made it's own little ice coffin. Or now that spring is here I have to hunt for the brass while it's the same color as the brown grass or wait a month and hunt for green brass in green grass
I too don't like the idea of "attaching" something to the rifle.
Cheers
