Very innovative! :-) Looks like it works great on a bench. I was thinking something more mobile, something that attaches to the rifle, or something that goes with me in the field.
As a side-note: Perhaps the finest brass-catching configuration I have yet to see is the 5.7 upper for the AR platform, which has a top-loading 50rd mag - that ejects down the mag well. Innovation? pull the follower and spring from a 30rd standard AR mag, insert in mag well .. and, boom, you have a very effective brass catching system... that is cool.

The cannelure would be WELL out of the case mouth in that configuration.
It just doesn't work. If their action needed 2.780" OAL, they would have to either use longer brass or a different bullet. That's my conclusion, although I may be wrong - but I dont think so. I just can't see it from here.

No puppies unleased but some nice dancing.
or if that link is off, search for "hot casing down bra"
actually some cool shooting video. she shoots 25, 22, 40, 357, 44M and then some unnamed auto for the dance moves
