I have a No. 1 currently in 220 Swift with a kind of shot out barrel. I'd like to re-barrel to 6.5 X 47 Lapua.
Being that the Swift is a semi-rimmed cartridge and the 6.5 X 47 a rimless, I'm thinking I will probably need to do something with the extractor.
I do my own barrel work but I must admit that I've never done this change - over before.
Anyone with prior experience in this change-over care to comment ?
Any chance the old extractor will work ? Modify it ? I do have a lathe and mill so should be capable to make another one if necessary but would probably buy one if available.
TIA
