Ammunition And Magazine Report

Well, have been shooting conventional round ball Winchester Whitebox for a couple of months now, and I must say it works without problems in the S/42 refurb. It took a short while for the magazine to get 'used' to the winchester rounds, but this happened quite soon (only had a few issues with the first couple of mag loads). Holdopen doesn't work as consistently as with S&B 124gr but that's not really an issue.

Even the relatively short S&B subsonic worked well, which was a bit of a surprise, as I had expected lots of feeding issues. I have to say that I never load more than 5 rounds, range regulations.

In defence of the Winchester Whitebox: Even the 32-round drum mag, loaded to full capacity functioned flawlessly with it (with special permission to 'break' the 5-round rule).
