Never have to think about my brass getting gouged up feeding from a mag of picking it up out of the dirt. It gets picked off the bolt face and put where I want it.
For me, I remove the plungers on my Target guns, but leave them in for my hunting guns. Like the gents said above, so much simpler to pick brass from action and put it back in the box.
It makes sense. Thanks for the input. LuckusQuote:

I will say that if I am having a gun that is having problems ejecting brass, it is much easier and faster to pull the plunger out and pick the brass off the bolt head, than it is chasing the brass around inside the port.
As far as advantage, there is a belief that an ejector can cause accuracy problems as it can tip the case in the chamber as the ejector pushes on one saide of the case. As long as the cases are properly sized this will not be an issue.
My target rifles don't have them.
