Alright guys, just wanted to let everyone know that I got the other extractor and fitted it to the bolt and took it out for a few shots.
Worked really great.
It likes the smooth sided Remington STS shells better than the ridged exterior federals, which doesn't really surprise me too much, but I can live with that. It worked really good with either shell.
I didn't even shoot for patterns today. Today, I was just concentrating on function.
In fairness, it's not really an improvement to a single shot because after you pull the trigger, you still have to take if off your shoulder to cycle another shell and isn't really any quicker than loading and re-shouldering a single shot, but I still see myself hunting with it this fall and am really looking forward to it.
Next time I take it out, is going to be for patterns at various distances and with different size shot to see what it likes.
