"New" 05 M/S in the safe.

[MS9x56]

You are the second person I have ever met with my affliction. I and my granddaughter are left handed with right master eyes. My Dad switched me to shooting right handed when I was 14. Its pretty natural for me now. Grew up shooting Ithica deeds layer shotguns so got pretty handy with them.

A first cousin I grew up with has it too, sometimes it works the other way. A boyhood friend is right handed with left master eye, so shoots left handed. Even though I write, eat, and swing a hammer left handed, I shoot right handed now. I wonder if that condition is the reason some people don't shoot. Sometimes it is an advantage, I have killed several deer shooting left handed, when they came in "hard" on my right side and I couldn't turn enough without running then away. The scope and set trigger made that possible, I couldn't have done it with open sights and a 3 or 4 pound trigger.

I also have shot several deer left handed one with muzzle loader Hawken with set trigger and one that snuck up on me while I was dozing that was point blank range actually left powder burns on hair was literally 3 feet away with 308.

Mike I did slug my 05 as I had purchased some loaded ammo made from 35 Whelen brass with 358 spritzer bullets. When fired they produced sticky bolt lift. I slugged the barrel and found it was 354. I also blued the cases and found my chamber to be tight also. I ordered some 9x56 brass from Quality cartridge that solved my issues. On top of both those issues I had intermittent feeding issues with spritzer bullets. Since feeding it nothing but round nose bullets have had no feeding issues. It is a delightful hunting rifle. I handled one of the standard arm Mod M rifles at a gun show but the MS has spoiled me I fear as it just felt clunky to me.

I had that same difficulty with Buffalo Arms ammo my son bought for me except it was 8 X 56 but, it wasn't the bullet diameter. I pulled the bullets, checked the charge weight in 3-4 then reduced the charge 2 grs., reloaded the bullets and they shot fine. All I was after was the brass as I'm about a 95% cast bullet shooter Turns out the brass I reformed and turned the necks on works better than the BA brass....cast bullets shoot better also.
