I'll do the 1st serious shooting of my 6.5 Grendel upper this coming weekend. I've got a couple of boxes of factory stuff but mostly I'll be shooting reloads. And since my brass is new Lapua that cost $1 per round, I really want to keep it. At my home range north of Atlanta, I found that when shooting AR's from a bench, I could place a range box beside the rifle about a couple of feet to the side and angled to the rear and the empties would hit it and bounce and land behind me. It maybe would take a shot or three to get the placement and angle perfect.
Won't be at a nice civilized range this coming weekend and just bought a brass catcher. It occurs to me that I've watched, for decades, hundreds of fanatic AR competitors, a fair number world class, who reload shooting both practice and competition. And I've not seen the 1st brass catcher being used.
Why not? Anyone here both reload and shoot AR's in competition? If you're shooting an AR in grass, it kicks it out there and you'd lose 60% + of your brass. Reloaders ain't gonna put up with that. Why have I never seen a brass catcher in operation?
