Was reading a thread on the .38 Super and it's ejection habits elsewhere here. Made me think of rifles. Been around the military for years and seen a bunch of different rifles fired. At the range one day, a shooting buddy showed up with an Egyptian Hakim 8x57 and proceeded to fire it. We looked for the brass. I kid you not, we found some at the 25 yard target line and it was beat all to pieces. He reloaded and fired again and several of us watched this time and that was no accident. It went nearly to the 25 yard line. That and the brass condition made it almost unreloadable.
My next in line champion brass thrower was a .351 Winchester Self Loading. This little gem threw them about 15 feet. I eventually moved next to the range shack as they bounced off it and made recovery easy. Very important as these little gems were $.50 each and impossible to find for sale..
My encounter with a handgun came earlier with a Coonan .357. It threw them straight to the right about 20 feet. We found that using .38 Specials loaded at +p velocities, it would both function and drop the brass a couple of feet to the right. Much better. Never know what you'll run into./beagle
