Mac Brothers action and ppc brass

[NC/Br Shooter]

Will a Mac Brothers action pull ppc brass.?
I understand that if the bolt face is bigger than .480 it won't. I have a .308 bolt face single shot Evo . And It's getting a new barrel. I have access to a reamer for ppc but I'm unsure if the extractor on these actions will pull ppc brass.
If the general consensus is what I think it is I'll keep hunting a reamer for br chamber.
This should be my last post on this subject for a while. So I appreciate the input.
Thanks

Do you have a way of checking it yourself? Lots of the older actions will extract but not eject, but most older stuff didn't have ejectors anyway. Wish I could tell you for sure on that ation but I can't, other than what I've said.
But, if you have a piece of brass you might be able to tell.

Good point. I don't shoot with an Ejector, I'm just wanting it to pull out. Iv put a piece of brass in the bolt face just to see. But that's just not really a test. Just could tell there wasn't much to grab to.
Mac Brothers action has a unique extractor only for there actions.
I guess I'd be curious if anyone has tried a ppc with one these actions and how it did.

Was hoping it might rule it out more than anything. Keep in mind that the case will be centered in the bolt face while chambered. So, if it's grabbing it at all while all the way to the far side from the extractor, I'd say there's a really good chance it'll pull cases. Hopefully someone will know for sure and respond. I've done a few ppc's on remingtons with the factory extractor. Everyone said it wouldn't work but it does.

This is ironic! I just went to the Mac Brothers website. They offer an action now with ppc bolt face. No kidding. I was just browsing around looking and hit the options on the single shot action and there it was. Will be in contact with them shortly. Figured I pass this on.
