Iv got an artillery carbine, mk 1 (suicide breech)
First shot went as expected.... sideways through the paper at 25m.

As expected until I tried to extract the case! the chamber had been 'necked up' to approximately 20ga.

Lucky I still have a face.
Anyway, got the case out and now might be looking at making up some 20ga brass with .577 id
