    DeLane Development Group Rimfire Ventures

    I had exactly this issue last summer with OEM magazines in my 360. After playing with my stock as much as I could I’d still get stoppages and shavings. It took a session of just cycling ammo slowly to ID that the transition from the mag to the bolt face wasn’t reliable. One or two in ten...

    It’s funny that I never thought about the chamber cut during my purchase. I assumed it’d be like a Winchester 52 match or something match but common. I cannot even say I assumed it as I didn’t think of it but knew it certainly wasn’t a sporter chamber. ☺️ I guess I just had faith.

    Ok, I am back to catch up on the thread. Is there a plan for a new magazine design for the rifles already out there or is it all designing to a new repeater platform? I am waiting for the new DeLane straight pull integrally silenced .32 S&W Long and ..38 Special switch barrel rifle that takes...

    I would have like to have read some. I am a voyeur at heart.

    It’s been a long long time since that thread about 40x repeater conversions. I remember posting in that and ordering a second or maybe it was my first 40x from CMP then. I did finally swing the cash to buy a Vudoo as my personal retirement gift. I still have that 40x and 40xb too. Thanks...

    Vudoo 360 issue with feeding.

    It was like pea soup humidity wise compared to the previous trip that generated the data. Temps were close. That makes sense for that to be a factor the farther out you go.

    Vudoo 360 issue with feeding.

    On the range things worked perfectly with SK standard plus. Working on getting a couple bricks of SK Rifle match. I also have reduced the trigger so that it isn’t handicapping me. My data from the last trip seems to have been off a touch at 200. I guess I have to build a data set better. I...

    Vudoo 360 issue with feeding.

    Well I was up early so I made a tool. I had a USGI cleaning rod section with a cracked female side. A minute on the grinder and another minute with a mill file to debur it and I had a handy extractor spring pusher. Damn I use that bench grinder a lot to make little tools. I swapped out the...

    Vudoo 360 issue with feeding.

    Those are stronger than my dental pick types. I should grab a set. Thank you for the idea. I have changed lots of them in garands, M14s, FALs, 10/22s etc. I looked it over, should not be overly challenging.

    Vudoo 360 issue with feeding.

    Oh, I’ve never done that! lol, I once on a Sunday was assembling an AR lower and launched a detent pin and spring into a pile of boxes containing various gun stuff from my last move. Like eight boxes. I had to sift through and empty every box until I found them. This was after a long spell...

    Vudoo 360 issue with feeding.

    Well at your suggestion I sent off an email to VGW with the same photo and explanation. Mr. Roman was quick to answer me. His diagnosis is likely weak extractor spring(s). He was kind enough to offer to send new springs and extractors or a call tag so that they could put hands on it. I...

    Vudoo 360 issue with feeding.

    I set up outside and ran some live rounds through the magazine (stagger inspected). This what I get. Edited to add, looking closer I see I was mistaken, it’s an extractor with a tensioner/ holder not twin extractors, which makes sense when it’s time to kick out the empty. It seems like the...

    Vudoo 360 issue with feeding.

    I saw that later, needs too much engraving force and a bit long in profile for feeding. I used it at the very beginning just to get the scope close and shot a few trial groups. The rest of the stuff...the target grade ammo was mostly remnants I figured I’d use for initial break in. All the...

    Vudoo 360 issue with feeding.

    I picked up a new Vudoo 360 and am still trying to tweak the feeding to avoid the jams. I am using the KRG Bravo stock. After the first couple trips I began tweaking the stock to better hold the magazine. Currently I am having just one type of stoppage: the base of the .22 LR cartridge ends...

    Effing Redding dies

    Technically the dimension of interest is the top blue line to the top red line. That is the amount of casing that cannot go in the die. Top of shellholder to the base the brass sits on.

    Effing Redding dies

    One can polish a shell holder or the die mouth itself to shorten a sizing combo. move the item in figure 8s on a flat bench stone. I have a couple sets of the Redding Competition shellholders. The set and the regular shell holder have no fixed relationship as in your regular shellholder is...

    SK Plus accuracy in two different rifles is wildly different

    I wonder if it is a headspace issue from the ammo. It’s not a bolt gun with feel/feedback on bolt close. Could the driving band be hanging up and holding the bolt off at varying headspace? Just spitballing. I have had a Nordic for about six years and have been disgusted with it regarding...

    Resize loaded ammo ?

    Um, I'm not sure I can agree with that about pressing a primer in any way including crushing it flat and it won't go off if you do it slowly. I've set off just two primers in 25ish years of reloading, both in the same lot of military casings where I failed to swage the primer pockets enough...

    Landlord keeps forcing me to hide my stash

    My last landlord was a touch skeptical as he was completely unfamiliar with reloading and only knew what the Army taught him. "Y'aint going to blow the place up?",... "Nope, if there is a fire, it'll all just burn a bit hot, no explosion. I asked him if he ever saw mortarmen burning off...

    I was shooting my gun and noticed flattened primers, but decided to shoot another and.....

    So you have a custom barrel? Call the smith that put it on and chambered it and see if he can provide you with the full reamer dimensions. i write all that stuff down inside folders that I have for each gun. I verify the length to end of the chamber with a modified piece of brass and the...
