Primer 014: Ross Rifle Mark III (by C&Rsenal)

[Ax.303]

I have a large collection of Ross rifles, including several examples of the predecessor to the Mk III, the Mk II** target rifles (which were originally called the Mk III!). Many years ago, I shot a few of the early ones using some surplus .303 ball ammo, and found that they jammed after about 4 fast shots. Not all did, but some did. They couldn't be opened again until they had cooled down.

Don`t forget unless they were hogged out, lots of the early Rosses had tight chambers as well as tight bores (.300 as apposed to .303)

I also have a number of Ross rifles. And although I haven`t tried it with the MkII s, I have ripped through 30 or so rounds with a couple of different MKIII sporters a few times without a hitch.
