Rossi lever which wont cycle factorys

[WhelanLad]

have you guys heard of this happening with the Rossis 3030? wont cycle some 'cheaper' ammo.??

is this bypass-ed with reloading for them? id likely use Cast 99% of time, Or why would cheaper ammo not cycle like 'premium' stuff?

id be able to talk a chap down on his rossi who says the above regarding cycling, doesnt use the rifle...

let me know what the issue might be here and if the reloading would fix it ,per say

3030 too for specifics

Only thing I can think of is that the angle of the cartridge entering the chamber causes it to bind. It would be a product of bullet shape and cartridge over all length rather than ammunition price point.

If not cycling is referring to not wanting to extract or eject, then a dirty chamber or damaged extractor.

Some times it is the oal of the cartridge

Unless there is a mechanical issue, feeding/cycling is a function of OAL and bullet nose shape. I don't know much about the Rossi, a friend has one and it's OK.

the biggest problem with lever actions is usually from dirty, gummed up chambers. I've fixed most "cycling problems" with a good cleaning.

I had a Rossi ranch hand that would not cycle ammo worth a crap. I sent it in to get fixed under warranty and it was so out to lunch with problems they actually scrapped it and refunded me! I got one literally the next serial number from that one and it was fine...

Rossi/Brazil............meh?

A buddy of mine had similar problems with heavier bullets. I figured it was the angle of the feed but it seems the longer cartridges jammed up.

ok Gents thanks, i decided to pass on that particular 30-30!

the 3030 dream is on hold now the left handed 30-06 came to town

seems it might be a oal issue, i know that happens in my model 94 if to far out.
