[QUOTE="Brown Dog, post: 59598, member: 1622"] Torsten, I've owned 2 R93s in the last few years and am very familiar with their design (I bought the second to demonstrate that I had a horizontal learning curve following all that went wrong with the first. It had the same problems but to a lesser degree [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img].). I believe, but would stand correction, that because of the 'collet' style locking mechanism of the bolt head you should reload ammunition for the R93 in the same manner as for a semi-auto; ie; full-length resizing and not just neck-sizing so that your reloaded ammo is always returned to factory dimensions. Because of the nature of the collet's lock up under pressure (it allows the cases to elongate slightly), you will have to pay particular attention to ensuring that the case shoulder is returned to factory dimensions. If you allow the cases to 'grow' the R93 will start to fail to fire due to light primer strikes. Hope that is of help [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Out of interest, does your R93 occasionally fail to fire factory ammunition due to striking the primer with insufficient force- my first one did 10 percent of the time, the second did 2 percent of the time?!
