Problem solved; took it apart, no major crud under where the mag catch sits but cleaned it out anyway. Thought about the spring itself but looked to be the same as new old stock springs seen online....

Yeah definitely the next step to take the wood off and have a good look, looking in the mag well the catch does seem to fully spring back but there may be a few mm if crud in there that has built up....

Yup done all of the above. Doesn’t appear to be an issue with the main spring or the auxiliary one

It does seat but needs a firm push…the forward portion rocks up and down a little. Have read somewhere that if the rounds are not picked up it could be that the rear lips need opening up a smidge?

Does move freely and no binding to date

So something has happened to the mag on my Longbranch. It doesn’t seat like it used to so the bolt just rides over the top of the rounds, I have to hold it in a bit so they’ll get picked up.
Is this...

Oh and I cleaned them up with Autosol which worked really well, a little time consuming though. And weigh them too, two of the 100 I purchased were 150gr

I recently loaded a few of these gun city pulled projectiles to compare to the PPU boat tails. Only loaded four, halfway through the mag had a sook and the rounds weren’t being picked up, so came out...

Na definitely not, was hard to capture the ridges without the light making it look like there were all kinds of lines running up the body, no lines on the bodies

Thanks, that’s quite useful for me. I had a play and made some minor adjustments to setup and I’m no longer getting the prominent ridges. Will still check the chamber to see if there are any issue...

Thanks for the input everyone, next task will be to check the chamber area, will post if anything untoward is found

Have found some articles online re these marka now that I know what to search for, fairly common it would seem

Ah ok, new to all this so keen to learn

Ok soooo I just put one of the non-ridged S&B cases through the collet die on a hunch…. First time with no pressure, second time with the pressure I have applied to the neck size cases. The second...

Trick of the light, only on the neck, almost wondering if it’s from the rifling…

I’ve got a whole bunch of once fired .303 PPU brass with these ridges in the necks. The brass was fired between 3 diff .303s, but mainly a No4 Longbranch. I recently fired some factory S&B rounds...

Sadly, over time I've come to realise that regardless of the rights and wrongs of an issue, money talks. The fastest way to get a crap process dumped is to point out how much it costs and where it...

Hi, keen to check where my rounds will land at 200 and 300m so looking for somewhere close by-ish to check this out. I know Cheltenham could be an option but don’t want to inadvertently nick one of...

Funnily enough I was picking up some supplies on Sunday to do this very thing, had a hand me down .22 semi with a bulge and a ring in the barrel. Hacksawed the barrel after work yesterday, filed...

Re 6x47s comment and the trigger, it sounds like mine as well, lots of travel but happy enough with the consistency

Really appreciate the great feedback everyone, so much knowledge out there

Thanks Tech, I did some googling re Model 2107 and found some old brochures on the Voere website, it looks like a match!

I believe the two models I have are a 2114 and a 2119…..so not their top models I believe? The top two in the photo. The mag in the semi is a gevarm (cycled fine but did not sit in there by itself)...

I’ve been given an older Voere .22 semi-auto and subsequently acquired a bolt action as well. They both group well enough. In two minds whether to hold on to either (don’t need two, not easy to find...
