Its 556 brass, but its for bolt guns. 250 for my buddies tikka super varmint and 500 for my tikka varmint. We sling em at prairie dogs, so 100 to 200 a day is easy to do.

Easy to modify with a dremel if you have a side charger.I've been very happy with this model. When it arrives it's much smaller than the pictures make it seem. You can also order a smaller box for catching brass.

I have two questions on that front if you don't mind:
I have two questions on that front if you don't mind:
1. What trimmer do you use, and do you like it?
2. Do you like that Lyman case prep station?
I'm getting back into prone and XTC after a few years off, and looking to streamline my reloading. Case prep is by far my most time consuming step, so trying to evaluate my options for power tools
I have a caldwell one for the range. Sometimes it moves, blocks ejection, and then the bolt crushes that piece of brass. Is this one better?
Thanks! I've been looking at the Lyman trimmer, too, and will check out that 3-way cutter. And good to know you're happy with the case prep station, it's also on my short list!
I tried the Caldwell and was frustrated. I don't recall where I first saw the 3-BUCC, but it works slick. There is a mounting block that goes on the pic rail, then the bag attached to the mount with two rods. I have a mount on each of my uppers, and move the bag from rifle to rifle. The bag has a velcro opening at the bottom, but I generally take it off my rifle to empty, just because. Very secure and stable. I rarely if ever experience any ejection issues that I can blame on the catcher.
It does, I've tried all the catchers. The caldwell - and any other made of nylon mesh - will melt on a hot, high-volume day. The 3Bucc is some type of canvas, doesn't melt (or scorch).
Cut down a 20 gauge hull. Drill a 1/4" hole through the primer. Stick a bolt down the hole from the inside, put nut on outside, tighten down. Put chamfering tool inside hull. Chuck in drill. Chamfer outsides, then reverse tool in hull, chamfer insides.

There are things you can do to stop your rig from overly damaging brass - but you definitely want to get a decent brass catcher. Can't imagine not using one. With my A/R's, I find 2% brass loss due to damage to be acceptable after each firing of a container of ammo, on average. I make sure they are not over-gassed and I polish the sharp edges of the extractor claws, etc.
