Big Bore carrier in top ejectors
Yes you should be O.K.. FWIW, the Big Bore carrier and it's two guide plates will fit right into a Post 64 top ejector, also. But except for the 375 Big Bore, the older top ejectors won't handle the Big Bore's factory pressures. So, in my wildcat 44 Marsh, which is a 44-356BB, I stay down to 30-30 pressures. My best load so far is the Hornady 265 Flex tip, at a bit over 1800fps, out of my recut M-94 carbine barrel. Hornady says that 1800fps is the minimum for this bullet, so it's limited to 200 yds.. Taking that much metal out of a carbine barrel, means it weighs and balances much like a M-92 carbine, so you will notice some kick, when you're firing strings over a bench. The old pre-64, is entirely different inside. The pre-64 carrier is forged steel, the Post 64 is stamped sheet metal, and the more recent jobs are castings. The last post 64 carriers I have purchased, came from Browning-Winchester, in Arnold, MO..
