I want to echo what Keith is saying, I think I been very vocal since 2016 about using your chambering information and have had many shooters reach out to me to ask questions. I have not had a single one come back and tell me it didn't work for them. your help has been invaluable to me and many...

Tony, no apology needed I just wanted to give better clarification on what I wrote. so that anyone reading would know I fully credit the Nevius/Lapua chamber for providing a means to have a competitive rifle. sorry for my rant. Also, I understand about what you said about being subjected to...

Tony, I believe you took what I wrote somewhat out of context. so, for the record my current life situation doesn't allow me to go travel and shoot the big matches that seem to be the only measure that means anything. that is what I meant when I said for someone not chasing Nationals, would I be...

New barrel results first 5 shots no tuner Kevin, I been an advocate of using your chambering specs. because for shooters like my shelf who are not chasing National titles and just want good shooting rifles. without having to chase ammo (especially now) IMO the chamber is the friendliest...

Great information Kevin! Lee

Sorry I didn't. but FWIW I run a wet pellet every 30-50 rds. or every card I shoot. Lee

Tim, I have a barrel that I believe was a little tighter in the bore size then I have seen before had it chambered like other barrels and engraving was just pass the first band.it shot really fantastic. But was very erratic had the chamber deepened another .0025 that made all the difference it...

Tim, I am wondering what would be that much different from Lapua than Eley that would cause an out of tune? I see this brought many times IMO could it be the bullet shape and how it affects engraving which make it seem like it is out of tune? IME, I seen that with more engraving lot selections...

Tony, I just remembered that some of the rifles for this type of shooting have what is called control feeding. the RimX comes to mind as you can't feed single rounds it must feed from the magazine.as the round is stripped from the mag it is captured and held by the bolt so it will go straight...

Tim, if the barrel work was done by Vudoo they are supposed to be optimized for Lapua Lee

Tony, I believe the rifles are magazine fed so maybe tradition BR chambers may cause an issue. Lee

I understand now I believe you use magazines to feed rounds in PRS unlike F-class Lee

There are different thoughts on what is ideal. here is one that I been using for several years with great results. go to Rimfire Accuracy and look up this thread by Kevin Nevius Team Lapua shooter https://www.rimfireaccuracy.com/Forum/index.php?threads/testing-chambers-for-lapua-use.23372/ Lee

Thanks, Jerry, for sharing your experiences when turning the OD of a barrel. you shared a lot more than I expected. my question was directed in reference to the chamber end. I would never want the muzzle end turned down. I think it is great that not only do you produce actions for RFBR but also...

Tim, I like to try different things just to see how it may work. for me the fun is tinkering and if the rifle does well then even better. Lee

Tim, some barrel contours are 1.200 at the chamber end from anywhere in length of 3-4". turning them to have a better fit/transition to action. Lee

Jerry, in post #4 you mentioned a detectable bore growth when reducing the OD by .100 or more and you feel this is not good, so I understand you are speaking of strictly the muzzle end? what are your thoughts on reducing the OD at the chamber end? Thanks, Lee

Hey George, you certainly were the 99% of the equation in this case and that 1% perhaps bad luck, bad round, who knows! great example of what I was saying and great shooting too! Lee

Tim, you make some valid points. but putting that aside and knowing rifle and ammo are there it is the shooter who will determine how well they do. that is what I meant now you don't strike me as a shooter who would look at the rifle or ammo as the cause of a dropped point or bad target there is...

Hey Kevin, your personal observation is right on the mark. like motorcycle and car racing the driver/ end user is what determines most wins. RFBR is no different. yes, you need a good shooting rifle and ammo, but the shooter will always be 99% of the equation. as has been said many times if you...
