Rossi 12 gauge single shot

bevilsiz · 11-01-2009, 09:33 AM

Does anyone know what the best slug to use for the Rossi 12 gauge single shot? I have attempted firing Federal bird shots and it misfired 8 of 50. I used a remington slug and would not fire at all. Fire 3 of 5 federal 3 in slugs, and fired 25 winchester birdshots without a single misfire. The birdshots and remington slugs were the 2.75 rounds. I am totally confused. I am going deer hunting. I want to get a slug that won't misfire from this gun. It is only 2 weeks old. When it doesn't misfire it shoots great.

It sounds like the problem is with the gun itself. Is it new or used? Is it clean? Is there any crud around the firing pin? Is the hammer spring OK?

Its a brand new gun. I have cleaned it religiously. I have put a total of 55 rounds of winchesters through it. No misfires at all. Had a smith look at it and he couldn't find anything wrong with it. He said it could have just been some of the preservative oil around the pin that was causing some of the issues and just needed to be worked out a little. She fires winchesters like a dream. I have had 1in spreads @ 50 yards with those slugs.
