Hi All -
'Took my 56-56 rifle out to my second cowboy match today, and while she was a lot of fun
![Smiley :)](https://www.cascity.com/forumhall/Smileys/cowboys/smiley.gif)
- I wound up jamming the rifle three times on extraction.
![Undecided :-\](https://www.cascity.com/forumhall/Smileys/cowboys/undecided.gif)
In each instance, the jam was with a Buffalo Arms cut-down 50-70 case, not one of my hand-filed 50-70's.
Has anyone else had this experience?
Not having measured the diameters of all of the cases, the only really obvious differences in the cases are as follows:
The Buffalo Arms 56-56 cases are based on Starline 50-70 brass, and have been cut down, and had the back rim (rear face) of the case beveled. The ones I did by hand are based on DGW 50-70 cases have the rims rounded, (not beveled), and both the front and the rear face of rim are rounded, not just the rear face.
Ideas of what to look for are welcome - Unjamming the cases was difficult, and left a rough edge on the extractor blade. Should I replace the blade? (S&S Firearmes, here I come).
Thanks. Beadswinger
