A little Sunday afternoon casting.

ARs are easy to tame. Pull the ejector and spring. Cut a coil off the spring and try it. Mine from prone piles brass a foot away and in a neat pile. Even offhand it is a bit forward and not far away.

I hope to get my 1911 figured out. It throws brass all over.

You and me both. I even changed the ejector to a Wilson Combat. Still need to tune the extractor now that I know how (thanks to Bill) and probably install a small-radius firing pin stop to slow down the slide a little. The lockup, timing, and link are impeccable and the hood fits the slide well so I don't think it's lockup variations slinging the empties willy-nilly.

Waco, the M&P 15 Sport is a VERY good AR. Even better it was a few years ago with the 5R rifling, wish I could have afforded ten of them then. Those would run with the $2k full-float DDs and RRAs out to 200 yards on paper from a bench.

Try that, they have one for ejector tuning too. Used them to make the defender stop brass to the eye tuning colt sent it out with. It worked well and with a 2 angle ejector shape I was able to make it drop in a neat pile.

I had an HP 9 High Power clone . What a brass delight it was it would drop the brass in a 5 gallon bucket with maybe 1-2 per mag that would bounce off the rim.
Then there was an SKS ....... May as well just shoot from the front wall of a semi trailer from inside if you want to keep 100% if you can settle for 75% then one of the 28' trailers will do. It's bbl was huge, the chamber was huge and the gas port would swallow a #29 drill bit . I hated the trigger too . That beast would throw brass 360° and 15' from the action straight forward as often as over my left shoulder.

I kind of like how it just rattles around in the rafters of the covered shooting lines though.
you can hear it up there you just can't predict where it is gonna come down.
