Thanks for the reply. I always load from the magazine but the extractor is old. I'm definitely leaning toward replacing the extractor if I could find one but I don't see anyone selling them. I remember now the original extractor broke in two in '86 right after my dad gave me the gun. A local gunsmith took one off an old bolt he had and used a belt sander to make it fit just right. It worked flawlessly for me until now, probably 200 or so rounds.
