HA! "and there is only a certain amount of ridiculous I'm willing to tolerate from my contraptions."
That, often times, is the rate limiting factor...

But 30 06 will be only be slightly warm immediately after being ejected.
I can palm a 7mm RM case on extraction without so much as a warm sensation.
No pics, it never happened (Maria, BTW)I have had some personal experience with ejected cases. In my experience they have been VERY hot!
It's not advisable to wear short pants to a high-power match in the middle of the summer in Louisiana. If you do, when shooting rapid fire prone, a piece of .223 brass from the shooter next to you can burn itself to the skin of the back of your thigh. You have to pull it off and it will leave a .223 shaped scar. That was over 10 years ago, and if I wasn't at work I would pull down my pants and take a picture of the scar for you.
When I used to run the monthly combat pistol matches at my club we usually had 10-12 people show up. One match one of the guy's wives showed up to shoot. Maria is a very pretty, EXTREMELY well-endowed young Brazilian lady, and caught a piece of brass down her cleavage. Suddenly every thing started coming off!! It was the best pistol match we ever had.
I never got to see if it left a scar, but the next month we had almost 40 people show up for the match. Unfortunately, Maria never returned and our turnout dropped back to normal.

Been there, done that, DON'T LIKE IT !!! Burns like hell !!When a .45 drops down your shirt... it's HOT
Garands will kick cases out in almost a 360 degree circle.
This is pretty much what I was going to say. M1 30-06 brass is blazing hot.Most of the discussion seems to be semiauto pistol brass (9mm, .45ACP, etc.) and I can confirm that these are hot on ejection.
However,
is true only for bolt-actions and lever-actions. I've tried this in a Model 70 clone and a Winchester 1895 and the brass is warm on ejection.
The Garand ejects the case before the heat can transfer to the chamber, and the case is too hot to touch.
Same load, different speed of ejection...
Speaking of how things eject, mini 14 cases must heat up due to the friction of the air and the speed they are flying.
Ha! And I thought it was from flying too close to the sun.Speaking of how things eject, mini 14 cases must heat up due to the friction of the air and the speed they are flying.
Frogo - truly a gent!The best part was helping comfort her that evening.
