"Any" would be a bit of an understatement, you'd just about need to borrow a football team if you wanted to count them using fingers & toes

I seem to remember it didn't work properly in the correctly orientated 3 o'clock position, so goodness knows what would happen at the 12 o'clock with the net draped to one side.... Then again I suppose all it has to do is stop the brass without dinging the cases up. I think i'll have a look for it when I get home, worth a try at least....

I was also thinking about a net above the rifle, or even something as simple as a sheet of heavy gauge cardboard angled to ping the brass off to one side (that's if the brass didn't just imbed itself in the card!!)

I did contemplate setting out a tarp in front with a curled front lip to catch the cases but the RCO might get a bit fidgety if I'm leaning forward to pick up the cases... Why can't someone invent a brass magnet FGS!

I know how precious Saddler is about his children, sorry guinea pigs so I wouldn't want to risk them scalding their paws!

I was cursing myself a bit when I found out the .223 version has a 1 in 7 twist so needs a 'heavy' bullet to get the most out of it, and wishing I'd gone for a 7.62x39mm but a couple of friends who have AK's have said they're starting to have difficulty getting even milsurp rounds for a decent price locally.

Thanks for the input folks

Cut a hole in both ends. One for legs and the other for barrel.
Lay under box.
