This can still happen with this product, but less frequently. My solution was to buy some Kydex at a craft store and taking a small piece of Kydex about the size of a playing card. Heated it up with a torch (A BIC lighter works as well) then forming the Kydex to have a slight angle, then I used .99 cent fabric glue and a little two part epoxy to glue my Kydex insert to the inside of the bag directly opposite of the ejection port to deflect the rounds down into the bag.
This also prevent the bag from getting burned as the Kydex deflector gives the round the split second it needs to slightly cool and less apt to melt.
The best ammo catchers are normally always ridged and don't employ netting. But this slight modification that costs next to nothing allows at least one benefit of a ridged brass catcher, while still keeping the brass catcher light and maneuverable due to the netting being flexible and lightweight.
As far as the brass catcher goes, the mounting mechanism is very good and it's low profile allows me to mount my Leupold scope or Eotech while still using the brass catcher. The brass catcher also is great that it can disconnect in seconds from the picatilly rail and should you want to put it back on, it goes on quickly.
It must be noted that asides from the detents for perpendicular adjustment (width of firearm), it is also adjustable in the parallel fashion where the rail receptacle rides the two inner wire rods. The catcher itself is secured to the heavy duty wired frame by Velcro and the receptacle can be adjusted for nominal positioning with the ejection port &/or optics being used. The included T15 key, though a nice thought, is a horrible fit, so using a real T15 (torx) makes short work of mounting the base & adjusting the linear position.
***
True case capacities are as follows and are approximate values prior to FTF/FTE (Failure to Feed / Eject Issues)
5.7x28 = 150
7.62 (.308) = 40 rounds, 3 of the 10 tests captured 50 rounds before FTF/FTE, but crunching the necks on 7.62 brass on a less than average stat constituted no further testing. We hit the 50 round mark comfortably with 7.62x39 as an fyi.
5.56 (.223) = 75 rounds, @ 80 rounds, we started crunching necks very repeatably.
In conclusion, the "100 round capacity" as advertised is untrue in the actual use category. However, to the defense of someone sitting in an office seeing how many empty 5.56 cases they could fit in before they began falling out constitutes as "capacity", we were able to squeeze 100 empty cases foooorrrr transport purposes?! Sure, that's what they meant. ;)
***
Would I recommend this product to others? Absolutely!
Would I recommend a real T15 & a little medium strength thread locker, most definitely!
