I have not disassemble the action completely, but the lever is open to keep the extractor away from the barrel. Evelio.

Sorry, on my previous post I wrote Ruger Mark 3, this is really the Ruger rifle No.3. Barrel is clamped on barrel vise, and use a big wrench on the flat action, hit on it with a 10 pound hammer, put heat on it, soaked in Kroil oil overnight, beat on it again, and still won't budge, what else can...

I have a Ruger Mark 3 in the shop that needs to be re-barreled. I have tried every which way to remove the barrel, with no luck, it just won't budge, is there a trick to it ? Evelio.

This year the USBR Nationals will be held at the Angelina Rifle & Pistol Club in Lufkin, Texas. The format has been changed to where we will shoot 3 cards which each gun. The aggregate of all 3 cards will determine the winners of each class, and the Aggregate of all 9 cards will determine the...

Bill B. You are correct, it is a Hall action, and a Harrell tuner.

Kevin, I finally had the time to deepen the chamber on the spare BM2 that was threaded for the Myers/Stiller action, and the damm thing started shooting bug holes with either the Lapua or the Ely ammo. without a tuner, after about 200 rounds, with no fliers, I decided to pull the barrel off from...

Kevin, NOV stands for National Oilwell Varco, the company I retired from, one of the vice presidents had the same name as yours, and was a Canadian, Just checking it was not you. The weather have been horrible, no chance to do any further testing. I do have another Benchmark 2 grooves barrel...

I agree with everything you said, that was my original statement when I started this posting, once is tuned, different machines or a small variant in speed should not throw shots, it may increased the group size but not throw flyers. I do all the work on my equipment, and others, but the tuning...

Kevin I was just thinking about the previous posting, and remember that when slugging the 2 groove barrel it took a lot more pressure to push the slug than it did with a 6 groove barrel, and it makes sense, since there is a lot more lead being displaced in the 2 groove. Even not being official...

Tim So practically you are saying, that the gun stays in tuned if you use the same manufacturing machine number regardless of speed, also that means that if you can't get ammo. from that particular machine you will have to re-tune. According to the PRX formula once you get the gun tuned which...

Kevin The PTG Myers reamer have a 1.5 degree leade as you stated, It has spiral flutes, and no build in stop, but I do have and adjustable stop on it, so I can change the amount of engraving. Right now the barrel in question shows .115" from the face of the cone to the inner face of the rim with...

Mike My barrel is 24 1/2" and tried the PRX for the 9th harmonic at -0.187 and was within two clicks from shooting bug holes, I also tried the -.402 and it also shot great. I am talking 15 shots groups at 50 yds. all inside the 10 ring on a USBR target, the Ely would do the same except a...

Joe The chamber engraves just past the first band on both type of bullets. linekin. The twist on the BM barrel is 16.5" The Turbo action is only 2 months old, the Ely ammo. was purchased before the Turbo was build, and really is all I shot on my other benchrest rifles. I won a brick of the Midas...

Linekin, The Ely that I have shoots fantastic on my two 40x and even better on my Anschutz 54, no chance on getting rid of it. Evelio.

Tony The barrel in question where the PRX did not work is 21.947 long using the 9Th. harmonic, I will try using the 7th harmonic this week. How about trimming 1/2" from the Harrel inner tube ? Evelio.

The Benchmark barrel shoots the Lapua ammo. great, my problem is with the Ely EPS bullets, that's when it throws one out every 6 or 7 rounds. It does it with a clean or dirty bore, and not in the same area, very frustrating. I have several cases of Ely Black that's why I keep trying it. RLB 40X...

I had the same problem, the PRX seams to work OK on barrels 24" & longer, I can't make it work on less than 23" long. Evelio.

Pete I tried the PRX formula, and was two clicks off from what I consider a good tune, I also started adding weights to the tuner, and it pretty much stayed in tune, but the weird thing, is that the POI did not changed much. WEIRD this was tried on a 24 1/2" barrel. I tried it on a 22 1/4"...

I have a new Turbo with a new 2 grooves Benchmark barrel, mounted on a Mc Millan edge stock, pillar bedded, with a Myers chamber, and toped with a Nightforce 12x42 benchrest scope. Using Ely Match ammo. it will shoot a bug hole for about 5 to 6 rounds then it will throw a 7 using a USBR target...

It is my understanding that once the gun is in perfect tune, it should be able to shoot any match ammo. and still hold its tune. After trying several lots and speeds of Ely Match, I had to change tuning sometimes as much as 15 to 20 clicks to be able to shoot a tiny moth ball. I can see the POI...
