I set up a .243 and a .30-06 to eject forcefully (over my shoulder, if I tip the rifle slightly) when hunting.
However, on the bench I didn't want to chase the brass, and I also didn't want to mess with the ejector tension (even though it is quite easy, as described in a previous post.)
I found out that if I put my right thumb in front of the safety as I operated the lever with my left hand, the brass would eject and bounce off my thumb, stopping in the loading groove. Easy to pick up and put it where you want before loading another round.
This also works when unloading the rifle when returning to your truck. Balance the butt against your thigh, hold the rifle firmly with your right hand on the pistol grip, thumb in front of the safety. (Safety can be on or off, but it should be on of course...) Then, operate the lever with your left hand. Loaded cartridge ejects and bounces on thumb tip, but will not fall to ground. Move left hand to forend, lower rifle to horizontal, capture ejected round and store it where you want it to go.
It actually looks a lot more elegant than it sounds in words...
