[QUOTE="longarm, post: 866849, member: 47671"] I had 2 old 220 swift cases with cracked necks so I turned down the rim from .473 to .450 to make the cases virtually rimless. They stacked nicely on top of each other in the magazine eliminating the requirement to stack one in front of the other and fed very smoothly in both the Winchester Model 70 action and the Remington 700 action. They also extracted flawlessly each time. Now I realise it will probably be different with difficult to extract cases which have been loaded to maximum and fired, but the results so far are better than what I thought. If I cut the extracter groove slightly deeper and had either the bolt face built up or use one from say a 22 PPC opened up slightly it might work really well. [/QUOTE]
