Parker Hale Safari rifle 458 Win.

I have acquired a Parker Hale Safari Model rifle in .458 Win. mag. It is giving trouble loading soft nosed(flat top) ammo. Does anyone know of a fix for this problem or is it a fault on all rifles with soft nose ammo? I would be gratfull if anyone can advise me of the correct proceedure.

Hi Chris,
Any good gun smith can fix that in a hurry.

If you own a gun and you are not a member of the NRA and other pro 2nd amendment organizations then YOU are part of the problem.

Did you check out the "Making it feed" post second from the top? There may be some things in there that will give you ideas.

Thanks gents, I have had a look at the "Making it feed" post and I have inspected the throat and extractor, so I will try a few adjustments which should improve matters.

I have reformed the feedrails and magazine plate. The rifle now feeds flat nosed, round nosed, jacketed and lead bullets. Many thanks to all who helped.
