Thanks ndnchf, I wish I had the original bullet mould. I can extract one from the original cartridges in case a mould is not available through the sources you mentioned and go in that direction. My ultimate goal is to get he gun shooting, so I am not so much concerned with accuracy as having a funct...

The rifle I bought with the broken extractor was purchased a year ago. I never messed with it, or really knew what a good extractor looked like so I thought it was fine, until I chambered a cartridge and could not get it out. That's when I put my two rifles side by side and realized one had a broken...

This is my first attempt casting bullets so the alloy ratios are a little foreign to me. I bought lead from Buffalo based on what they thought would be best. However the tightness is due to the case base, I don't think the bullet is a contributor to this as a sized case and one loaded with a bullet ...

As you can see in my pic...

Thanks for the help posting photos, looks like mine were too large to post so I used the link via photobucket. You can see my reloads next to the original cartridges, the next two photos show the extractor, one of which is broken...

Cartridges are tight after resizing with and without loaded bullets, not material difference either way. A good chamber cleaning might make for a better fit. When I say tight I mean they do not gravity drop as to the original rounds do, a gentle push puts them into place and I can extract with my fi...

The amount of information the members offer is amazing! Being a newbie, it is so very much appreciated. I will be sure to post pics (assuming I can do so, just tried and didn't see them) now that I have the rife completely disassembled and update as I progress with this project. I feel a bit more co...

Priceless info, very much appreciated. I was just getting to the actual cartridge loading, after sizing my brass it is still a little bit tight in the chamber, but extracts none the less. A good cleaning will probably improve the fit. I got my mold and brass from Buffalo Arms, using 9-1/2 magnum rif...

First time uploading pics, hope it works, should be the extractors, one compete the other broken. Interestingly enough, it seems this may have been a common problem as other rifles have missing or broken extractors.

Many thanks Danny, this is the only reference that seems to have the correct case specifications for this cartridge. I am also working on a reproduction ammunition box and will be happy to share the completed label with any interested members. Have a gear week.

Hello all, I am new to the community. Did my best to search for info on the Evans Repeating Rifle but did not find anything on the forum, my apologies if I missed a posting. I am a collector and amateur shooter. I have (2) Evans rifles, both are the newer versions shooting the long .44 cartridge. My...
