Best ( most thorough ) Practice is to put " keeper brass " into box/ bag/ other container as you go .
That ring also makes ejecting .357 brass more difficult because the cases grab that ring. I shot so much .38 special in my S&W 686-1 that in order to fully remove the ring, I chucked a bronze brush into my drill in order to power the rings out.Not damaging, but a steady diet of 38’s could leave a ring of lead/dirt in the cylinders. This ring, if not cleaned could make seating the longer 357 case difficult/impossible. Clean your cylinder well and everything will be just fine.
That sucks. Why I love me a good revolver and bolt action. The other day I was shooting 45 without my hand catcher and the guy at the other end of the range, after already seeing me clean up my brass and drop it in a brass bag, stoop down and start scooping it up.I was shooting 350 legend this weekend, and was only 1 of 3 people at the range. During each break I would pick up my casings. The last cycle I put down about 30 rounds, I went to pull my targets and when I got back the RO was sweeping up my casings. I was pissed.
Not being able to pick up my brass is the number 1 reason I don't shoot at indoor ranges very often. While some of them will technically allow you to retrieve your brass, they call the range cold so infrequently that it's not worth my time to wait.I was shooting 350 legend this weekend, and was only 1 of 3 people at the range.

Me too. I have the same disorder. I'll go try a gun out at an indoor range and if I can't use a brass catcher of some kind, I'll stop early instead of watching the brass head off to never never land, etc.I’m glad I’m not the only one.
