[QUOTE="okietom, post: 2298074, member: 18710"] I bought a youth model .223 for my youngest son which he has now outgrown. It was accurate enough but there was one problem with ejecting empty brass. It wouldn't do it reliably. I lapped the chamber a little and that didn't fix it. I tried various hand loads in it and some loads were worse than others. Only the powder was different. I am guessing one had higher pressure than the other. Graybeards forum has DIY conversion to an extractor from an ejector and the other way too. I may do that. I had to take a cleaning rod along to shoot it. The new ones may be extractor. This was worse on .223 barrels than others from reading about it. I also know a man with a heavy barreled H&R .223 that was great. He used it on prairie dogs with great success. [/QUOTE]
