Controlling rim thickness and weight by sorting are good concepts, however rarely show significant improvements in benchrest scores.
Has anyone done a legit test to see how much difference sorting makes?

What else can we control in rimfire ammunition. Do you think Rimfire Benchrest shooters are going to tell you their secrets to consistency? What do you do to improve consistency? Let us know if you will.Controlling rim thickness and weight by sorting are good concepts, however rarely show significant improvements in benchrest scores.

You don't need no stinking dope, just make the adjustments and shoot.I am! First match with a Vudoo, and the new scope. Never shot past 200, so no dope. It's going to be a learning experience.

Shot a local match today. Did decent but fought hella feeding issues with Midas plus on every mag and sometimes every other mag for 8 stages and 240rds. The front of the round was popping up it seemed and getting stuck and the bolt would dent just under the neck on the case. They’re factory 10rd poly mags and the rifle has the gen 1.2 FCG. It’s happened with center x and Midas plus both. Other than those issues, the gun shot great!
definitely drop a line and let them know. When they get it fix please share the remedy =]

'one more is never enough...'Owning this vudoo has cost me more money than I’d care to admit.... just got my RRS tripod from MHSA last piece of kit is a good range finder and I should be set for a while I hope. View attachment 7349986
there were a couple other guys having issues today as well. While not world ending its frustrating when you’re on the clock and jamming up and not feeding rounds properly. It is what it is, I’ll be doing more testing hopefully Monday night running all four mags fast, slow, medium paced, to see under what specific conditions it happens and hopefully get some pictures of the issue through the ejection port.a friend of mine was having the same exact issue today. He ended up shooting a backup rifle because he could get it to feed properly.
Was it in different shooting positions where the mag could get bound or in prone too?there were a couple other guys having issues today as well.

What chassis or stock/bottom metal?Prone, barricades (mag had zero pressure on it), sitting behind my tripod. Unfortunately it didn’t matter what position, it just struck randomly.

Vudoo will get you fixed up, but this seems to be always a "magwell holding the mag in the wrong place" issue.
Sounds like the mag is a little low, if the bolt is skipping over the rim and hitting in the middle of the shell.
I can't believe there are not a lot more of these issues, with the HUGE variety of chassis and mag well combos out there.
@Krob95 were these magazines relatively new? Purchased in the last 6months or so? My mag that came with my Vudoo ~ March had this issue. I called them up and they sent me a new one. They said they had a problem with the mold which caused the mold to be too narrow, causing the round to not sit up high enough, thus not control fed, and it was causing the round to push up and get caught.
I bought a used mag, and then I bought an aluminum mag. Both those magazines I could tell that the follower was sitting a lot higher in the magazine compared to the defective magazine. The replacement magazine I got also looked like the used magazine (1.5yrs old) and the new aluminum mag with where the follower was sitting.
Not a good image - was from a while ago

You can notice the red follower is sitting a mm lower compared to the black follower (left one) that sits pretty flush to the top of the feed lips.
Accuracy International AX chassis, but I had misfeeds in my J Allen, and bravo chassis’s that I thought were flukes. It’s not the bolt skipping over the round, it’s the round shooting up into the top of the barrel and getting jammed into the breech face when pushing the round out of the magazine. It’s just odd. I’m going to try and film each 10rd mag I shoot to see if I can get it on video.
My vudoo was bought in March and the mags I bought after that were from mile high, also in March. Maybe I have some defective mags?
One of my magazines had issues and they replaced it. With my friends the round will stick straight up. He pulls the mag, strips the round, puts the mag back in and the same thing happens. I think it could be a chassis issue with his though. It’s in an MPA chassis, same as mine but his is an older model. If we can’t figure it out I’m sure Vudoo will take care of it but he would like to resolve the issue without sending the rifle back to them.
that’s where I’m at, I would like resolve the issue if at all possible with out sending the rifle out as my vudoo is my most used rifle. But if that’s what it takes then so be it. I’m just glad they have top notch customer service so I’m not too worried.One of my magazines had issues and they replaced it. With my friends the round will stick straight up.

Thank the lord, that’s the exact issue I’m having. The front of the bullet is catching the top of the chamber/breech face at 12 o’ clock. Glad you have a picture of it, you’ve saved me some ammo!Mine looked like this during a malfunction before they replaced it. Haven't had an issue once in the last 300 rounds through the replacement mag.

15 round mags. I received 2 yesterday, shot a match today, tried to use them during sight in, no go, consistently failed to feed, bolt slid right over the rounds. Running an MDT ACC, all my 10 round mags run fine. Any one else running the aluminum mags?

A picture please if you don’t mind, thank youTake a half round jewlers file and ever so slightly file a small concave indention in the front of the magazine at about 45 degrees o the follower side. This has stopped all Eley feeding problems as well as all othr ammo feeding.

[/QUOTELooks like we got ahold of the same batch of mags. ]
I’ve been shooting my Vudoo for a year, all my 10 rounders run fine, I know the “idiosyncrasies“ of loading the mags. Was shooting a match so I didn’t have time to trouble shoot, but I could get the first round to load, then then the bolt would run over the second one and so.Go to the Vudoo website and watch the video on magazine loading. It may be operator error.
The red ones are the newer ones, I was actually sent black ones (this year) for feeding Eley flat nose.From what I remember, the red followers are the ones that are supposed to feed Eley better. That’s what I was shipped after I had my mags when I mentioned Eley not feeding.
Have you ran his mag in your Vudoo to see if it works?
Says the man with a million magazinesI'd let @Krob95 try one of mine but I don't have any to spare.

Me tooI am into my 5th week waiting for my Vudoo rifle. I am salivating
R99:Is anyone using the Vudoo single-shot insert and if so, could you comment on what you like/dislike about the insert?
Thanks!
