Good Evening,

Not satisfied with status quo, I have had to move to permanently using 50BMG cases for the T. Was waiting on RCC Brass to make some cases to original specs but bankruptcy got the better of them. So, it has to be 50BMG from now on.

I do not have the patience or time to do such and sent my bolt to John Taylor in Idaho to make a new extractor and bolthead inserts. John is amazing and what came back works great. Now, the BMG cases are firmly held by the bult-head and ignition/extraction works perfectly.
