Hi all, next time you go to the range, put several targets maybe 3-4 feet apart (i use 4-8 targets, paper dessert plates stapled to upright pallets) and stand in one place and fire at all of them with one mag. If you fire at just one paper plate from one position, your brass (anyway my brass) whether .380, 9mm, .45, will be within a couple feet of each other, as long as you stand in one place and shoot at one plate. However, if you move yourself a couple feet, move the pistol from one position to another (up, down, sdeways) and shoot at several different paper plates, your brass will be scattered all over, maybe ten or fifteen feet radius. That's in gravel where it doesn't roll much. Do it with slick floors and the brass will be scattered so far you'll be hunting for it until you start thinking of what time was lunch supposed to be.
Anyway, Nihil's .38 wheel gun saves a lot of time hunting for brass.
