Question for the Omark experts

[Bigtravoz]

Can I safely run an Omark without the ejector in place in the bolt?

[Cutanything]

There is nothing to say you to have the ejector in place the hole will best been filled to prevent damage to brass though

[lonerider43]

thats how i run mine.
i put a brass bolt in a drill and spun the thread off it,cut it to length and put a notch in the side for the retaining pin.
just make sure what ever you use is flush with the bolt face or you will get a dent/lump in the case face.

Yep

Mine got removed and filled in when I got the bolt face bushed

It is not a requirement to block the ejector hole.

Same here

When i was using my 308 barrel with a 175 on top of a kg of 2208 I got bad marks on the case head .
Closing it up made a big difference.

Some could argue the point that less burn would have also fixed the problem

[Bigtravoz]

Thanks. I am more worried about my head than the brass.

I hope if anyone is loading an Omark to the point that they are flowing brass back into the ejector hole, that they are never at the same end of the mound that I am shooting. Regards Malcolm.

They do have quite a large ejector hole which is why I asked the question, I did think it may leave a mark or lump on the rear of the case, but was mostly concerned about it being unsafe to my wellbeing. I really only want to try it as a bit of an experiment.

my loads were 46gn of 2208,never had a problem.
i did get the lump before i filled the hole.
