    Also available in jacketed ammo but very pricey.

    DO NOT DISASSEMBLE

    do not disassemble this rifle yourself. Take it to a gunsmith. Try flushing the bolt with gun scrubber and then use Federal 210 primers. That should cure the problem.

    Another thing is that the Cowboy brass is supposed to have the same head diminsions as the 45lc.

    Just load your 45 Cowboy brass to the same load as the 45acp and enjoy.
