Flying brass
Author: Berg	September 19, 1999 at 10:16:41

It's an embarrassing problem and I hope there is a solution. When I fire my .308 Dragunov the shells get thrown
an amazing distance. Since shells are thrown almost directly sideways, anyone to my right is subjected to a hail of hot brass.
I've had guys 4 rows down come over and complain about shells hitting their head. One shell even hit a fellows match AR-15 and nicked its finish.
He wasn't happy at all. Is there any sort of brass catcher that can be made for this rifle? I've put up a cardboard target as a sheild between
me and my fellow shooters but its not very stable. Has anyone else dealt with this problem?
