I only do that type of check on an MP5, where pulling the charging handle back to confirm the presence of a round in the chamber is impossible (or next to impossible) without ejecting the round.
Forgive my ignorance but by a brass check do you mean a press check where the bolt is partially retracted and the round is seen and felt or is there another check I am not familiar with. I was trained on press checks and I still do them. But my latest round of training was geared towards left right load. They said that as the weapon becomes fouled a press check could leave the bolt out of battery. I normally gently nudge the forward assist to make sure its in battery. If you have another take or I am missing something please bring me up to speed. Take care.
