  It looks like the board erased my pictures after a period of time. In here you will find one that was .362" and I cut all mine to .300"  ;D

I don't reload yet so I always grin a little when I hear someone bitching about wild brass a few stalls down 8)

I regulate the ejection with the recoil spring.

too heavy and brass goes forward.
too light an brass goes behind me
just right and the brass drops on the bench

This is a Witness elite.

You shoot Underwood and it dribbles out on the bench? What's that setup?

Intercoller , Thank you very much for the link on your testing . You have been very helpful .  Once I get over the fear of cutting down the ejector , I'm going to give it a try .

You can go a little at a time like I did on my first one. After seeing the results of that one, I just cut them all the same. Somewhere between .300" and .375" will be fine too.

The only problem I have had with my Witness so far , is when I go to the range . It puts all my brass in low earth orbit .
Have you cut down your ejector yet? They use the same length for all the calibers and I documented a test cutting it back. It helps with that!

That's been pretty frustrating for me too. I can't believe I missed that. I'll have to try it. Did you do a video? Link to the specifics? I don't want to cut too much. I see the link. Thank you, sir.

No video, but the information is in this link.

Well, that was fast. Thank you much. Your contribution to the 10mm and Witness community has been monumental.

BTW, I think I'll be testing the Underwood loaded Lehigh controlled fracturing round this weekend. Video should be up sometime next week.

Great news! I will have some more out to you soon... for the back-log  ;D
