Pat,
Will do.
My thoughts on this issue are: when the gun is fired and the shells ejected, the ejectors are in the "ejected" or "tripped" position. The extractors are pushed out about another 1/16"-1/8" further when in the ejected position than when the ejectors are cocked (closing the gun cocks the ejectors) and then the gun openned again.
When new cartridges inserted in the gun after firing, the tripped ejectors push the extractor rods out more and cause the rims of the shells to hang up on the breachface, unless pressure is put on the shell heads upon closing, or if the gun is fired, openned to eject, closed, and openned again, then loaded. I'll get on this soon, since it's a real pain in the field but soon forgotten if I don't do it right away.
