Luger ejects brass 15' in the air.

My favorite is having them land and wedge between your shooting glasses and your eyebrow. Lovely smell and you get to walk around looking like Mr. Spock for a week.

Mine is an indoor range, with the aforementioned florescent lights above. I usually get whacked in the head with most of the ejected cases. I wear a hat.

My complaint is that although it's an enclosed range, and I police my brass before going downrange and sweep after shooting, I still lose 1 out of 5 cases...

With 9mm, it's not catastropic, as the police use the range and throw their expended ammo away. We fill a 55 gal drum with left-behind expended brass and then cart it off to the scrapyard [$$$]. I just count my cases and grab a few out of the barrel.

...But the 30 Luger/30 Mauser cases are another story. I'll spend a half hour looking for those boogers. In the end, I lose 5 or 6 out of 100...Don't know where they go...On top of the light fixtures maybe???...
