My experience with the Ross hasn't been so sweet. One rifle, a Charles Lancaster Mauser - std length action - shoots quite good and cycles easily. Another rifle I owned - a George Gibbs square bridge magnum Mauser, with the same ammunition blew primers and was so over pressure that I had to mallet the bolt open - truly disconcerting, that rifle. I should have tried .284" bullets in that rifle but I lost interest in it so let it go. Nice gun though...
