Frontier Mick Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I have been watching this thread with great interest. And with Pat's problem being solved I gave trying to fix my Rossi spiting out 160grn 45lc live rounds one more try. Following all the tips, tricks and dimensions posted here I ended up with a .010 shim made from a feeler gauge. Went outside and cycled 30 160grn rounds without any malfunctions. WooHoo! Going to to live fire testing this afternoon, using both 160 and 200grn bullets. The 160's OAL is 1.495. And the 200, which has not given me any trouble is 1.575.

Cypress Sam, SASS #10915 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Feeler Gage's make great shims, but bond typing paper can be used as well. Paper thickness varies from about .004" to about .006" or so. It's easy to measure the thickness and to cut out. After you determine the thickness of shim you need, you can replace the paper with a feeler gage. Or if you're lazy like me, you can just leave the paper shim forever.
