20Series......it took me nearly 30 years to find one as good as this. I have had three altogether, two were dog rough, this one is good and has an almost mint barrel.

Do you reload for it? If so, do you neck size or FL size? I assume with neck sizing you'd start out with unfired brass to fire form it?

I've got a chunk of money to pay off on one from C&G, hence the questions!

targetman,

A very fine example of a much underrated and maligned rifle.

I really want one!

It was much liked in it Huot rifle format, cheap aswell, only £50 conversion, compared to the £1000 it cost to make a Lewis gun

I have used mainly Privi with quite good results. I have also used handloads using up a dwindling supply of new Kynoch cases that I acquired many years ago. They shoot very well indeed in most of my .303"s, but with the Ross I keep the cases used in that seperate from the rest for reloading. I am slowly working up a supply of cases exclusively for the Ross, then I will just neck size.
