Anyone else have one????
The one I have will not shoot 147gr condoms.
Have a hard time keeping any on target at 50yds.
It likes 115gr condoms and boolets.
Wondering if it's just my rifle or normal.

I had one several years ago. It shot everything from 115 FMJs to 158 cast lead, and was very accurate. I used to pop the rocks off of the berm at the 125yard range-not often on the first shot.
I had a red dot on mine which made a big difference in my shooting accuracy.
Love mine. But have only shot 115gr lee TL cones or round nose.
QUIS CUSTODIET IPSOS CUSTODES?
I have one. It’s extremely accurate with 125 grain Lee Rn and the lee 356-120-TC. I did try using the heavier RCBS 9mm-147 and although accuracy was decent I believe I seated the OAL too long as I had my first malfunction ever with the rifle. I recommend sticking to the 115-125 grain projectiles sized large mine will chamber .358 all day long.

its a really fun piece. too bad nobody makes one anymore.
OH wait ! Maybe Ruger ??
I have the 45 but had shot the 9 a lot. No problems with heavier but make sure you have spare buffers handy. I decided against getting the 9 and did get the Ruger because of the buffer and potential cracked stock issues. Love the Ruger, lot of fun.
I used to have a 45 to, but cheaper to shoot the 9mm.
The factory buffer just doesn't last.
Replaced it with a blue one from someplace.
Haven't had to change it yet.
I also installed the strongest spring in it.
Makes cocking the bolt hard, but it still cycles fine.
Makes me think the factory, soft, 9mm spring was way to weak.
Yup, forgot about the springs and have a spare. Fun guns but the Ruger, to me, was just better and I am a huge Marlin fan (JM time frame).
