Thread: Help with single shot Rossi

ok just fired off a few subs and they were fine. fired some factory 150gr and they all opened the action.

looks like it going to be out with the bearing blue and stone to get more engagement and less angle on the locking peice

Update, fired 50 rounds threw it this evening with zero dead mans click and zero opening on fireing YAY!

I had gone down the bearing blue and stone route on the locking piece intill the locking piece fully engaged leaving the triger group out each time I trial fitted so I could see whats going on. sorry no pics bloody phone I know I took them but they arnt there.

Not having access to a range this evening I went bush to test.

Lying in the dirt with a bipod and my hand as a rear bag,Rapid fire in rapidly failing light with a shit fixed 3x scope I resighted after remounting the rail that had come loose fitted by NOT ME

Factory fed 150 went 1.5-2" at a hundy yards........good enough for its intended use

90gr xtp subsonic went around a inch @ 50y

130 barnesTTSX with no load development whatsoever (just dropped a grain from my Sakos load) and a plucked out of thin air seating depth produced 6x 3 shot groups all under a inch at 100y averageing around .8

The shooting crony averaged 3020fps for the barnes 2650 for the fed and 1020 for the subs out of the 18" barrel

The barnes is a bit hot really but it shoots so im loading up some more and giving it back to the old man.

This is 3 of the barnes groups(scope wasnt doing what it was told) shot in shit light with a fixed 3x off the ground with no bags rapid fire.




Rossies are shit there is no hope for them

I might have to see if I can knock something over with this before I give it back

Hi, old thread I know, but after being away from the game for awhile, I'm looking at some new reloads for my .308win Handi rifle, specifically some subsonic (and supersonic) XTP 90g and 130g Barnes TTSX - any chance you recall what powders and weights you were loading?

Trailboss for the subs and I was using 2208 for the ttsx as it's what I had but 2206h or h335 are better options as 2208 is heavily compressed

Sweet now, but if it isnt shut with authority then it wont fire
You can easy it shut and pull the open lever back down and its good - but if its not completely down then no go
Its only fired a handful of rounds and still pretty tight

they all do this..with a tight round I still make sure to push cocking/opening lever down ...learnt this the hard way with BILs 7.62x39mm years ago....that would go click instead of bang..drove us nuts till took to gunsmith for a very quick and not expensive fix. dont need to slam them but do need to make sure lever is down...got funny feeling Greg Duley reported same issue with a Begara single shot in test fire years back so its not Bakail specific.
