Got my new to me 12.7mm Swedish RB from Simpson's a couple of days ago. Cleaned it up a bit and was making some brass for it. About 20 min into the process the extractor broke (dang these are pricey little suckers!). I know I can shoot it with a broken extractor, it just means I have to punch out the empties with a rod. That can get messy. Is it safe to shoot without the extractor? That way I can remove the empties with a pocket knife or small screwdriver??
Planning on shooting Black Powder in this one. Going to start with something like 40-50 gr. FFg, Lee 450 PC'd and Lubed, with enough card wads between the two to remove any air space. Modified 50/70 brass. What do you guys think.
Thanks!
