My Colt is 5:00 but my Spikes throws brass out in front of me around 1:00
I asked awhile back in the tec forum and was pretty much told not to worry about it  So where should or where do most eject?

Depends...out of my SBR steel-cased stuff ejects pretty squarely at 4:00 or so reliably and consistently; more than once I've positioned a bucket where the first empty hit and the rest of the magazine landed nicely in the bucket.
Brass-cased stuff seems to come out around 2:00 or so, again pretty consistently. It runs a BCM extractor upgrade kit (spring, o-ring), and has an H buffer. |

I'm running M855 in both. I'll throw a oring in the Spikes and see if that's it? |

One bounced off the truck one time and hopped down my shirt and I thought I had the world's first honest to goodness 7o clock right hand ejecting rifle.
But when its not sending me into spontaneous instances of the hot brass dance, mine normally go from 2 to 4ish. So long as its consistent I couldn't care less where they go... unless it's down my shirt

My Bushmaster scatters them around 3:00 - 5:00. My son's Del-Ton drops them all into a neat pile at 3:00. If it were any more consistent, we could set an empty box there and it would stack them neatly in the box. 
But my HK SR9 throws its empties out at 2:00 across a minimum of 2 county borders. |

Depends since 99% of the time I'm shooting my SBR thats the only one I've really paid any attention to(11.5 with H buffer and LaRue BCG)
Steel Case No can about 4:00-consistently Steel Case with can About 2:00-consistently Brass-well I don't shoot brass so no clue |

I just don't like the Spikes throwing brass out in front of me. No reason other then I don't like it. Off topic, but don't get a Golani then, I've fired two, and both throw about 12ft or more to12:30-1, and the casing gets dented from the charging handle presumably. |
| Since I handload my 223/5.56 rounds, I can tell you that the barrel pressure at teh time the bullet passes the port controls where the spent cases land. Too little pressure and the gun will throw them forward, too much pressure and the gun will throw them backwards and dent the mouth, just right and the cases land just to your right shoulder in a nice pile. |

My Colt 6940 (16" barrel, carbine gas system, auto bolt carrier, "H" buffer) is usually around 2-3 o' clock (closer to 3) with Federal XM193 (55 gr brass cased 5.56 NATO).
It's usually around 4 o' clock with the (very little) shooting I've done with 75 gr brass cased .223 Rem Hornady TAP. I've never put any steel case through it, so I don't know where those would go. I selected 2-3 o' clock since I shoot XM193 far far more than anything else. |
