It works great but there are two challenges I have seen.

1. Hot case necks from ejected brass can melt themselves into the nylon mesh. This leaves residue on case necks.

2. Ejection reliability is reduced considerably . This isn’t a real issue since you would never use this in a critical situation.

Editor: We have shot a bunch of rounds with no reliability issues whatsoever, so long as you keep the unit positioned properly. The unit can get jiggled slightly if the gun is moved around (as on a varmint hunt) — you just need to pay attention to that. (We also keep our ejector/extractor very clean which might help). We haven’t seen the issue with the melted mesh… but that’s certainly possible — thanks for the tip.

I would rather spend 50 or so to have a stainless mesh or something that wouldn’t melt and stick to my brass.
