What does the 'x' ring measure on that TGT?Maybe this will go
to outside 1.9". Shot 200/10x, 4 way tie for 2nd today, 12 shooters, win was 12xWhat does the 'x' ring measure on that TGT?
Carbon Ring.At range today, my bolt had a really hard time with Midas, it refused to close 6-7 times. I slowly ejected that round and loaded again, no problem at all. Got home, cleaned bolt head, wet Qtip for around and in chamber then dried. Not enough rounds to clean bore. Lubricant build up? Didn't happen 2 days ago.
I've had a carbon ring form in a rifle that had the bore cleaned every outing which was generally less than 120 rounds.Mine did the same with Midas. It was fine with Eley. I cleaned it well and will try again next time out. I clean the barrel every time so I do not see how a carbon ring can form.
If the carbon ring form in the camber or just after (in rifling) that means the barrel has to be cleaned?? Last time I cleaned it took a good while to season!How do you know you're removing the carbon ring? Unless you're using a solvent made for carbon you most likely aren't removing it. I and a lot of br shooters use c4 by boretech. Works very well , wet a patch let it sit in the chamber for about 20 to 30 mins. and then nylon brush with a patch to swab it a little should be good to go. Works for me just saying. Sam

I have it out 3 turns, with 2 turns - could see dent in rim didn't go bang. I read someplace on this forum red is best?Mike
How much would/should Turing bolt/spring lock, 1 turn in, effect depth of pin strike?
(sorry to change subject.)
Flatland1. Which brand ammo are you using and spring color?It's been a couple of month or more ago that I last watched Mike's video on VGW dealing with adjusting the firing pin, but IIRC, he said the threads on the pin were 64tpi. Divide 1 by 64, and you get .015" per revolution on the pin. I kept screwing (literally) with the original crescent-shaped pin on my V22S, and decided to stay with two revolutions out from dead-ending it. Seems like I had to go to the heaviest or next to heaviest spring that came with the action to get reliable ignition. I don't have a clue how consistent the striker adjustments would be between actions - IOW, would the same two turns out from dead-end result in the same amount of striker pin protrusion? I'd like to think that these CNC produced actions & striker assemblies are very consistent, to the point that any variation from one action to the next would be so minor that it could be disregarded.
Since VGW has stopped shipping single shot actions with the crescent pins in favor of the chisel tipped pin, unless a poster here specifies which style pin he's using, the info on how many turns out from dead-end is probably not going to be very useful.
How is that Nevis chamber shooting at 50 yards? Do you shoot ARA targetsI usually push a cartridge in with fingertip - never worry about whether it's all the way in or not, since my Nevius chambers engrave the bullets at least .040". Haven't seen anything on paper that gives me any reason to believe there would be much if any advantage to pushing rounds in any further than far enough to make sure they're aligned with the chamber, and there's no chance of putting any side load on the round by closing the bolt.
flatland1, if you're in need of some Mini-Palma action, I have a 100 yard match you can try out for fun. Check it out if you're interested...I've bought a couple of packages of the ARA targets, and had shot several of them back before I re-barreled the original V22S with a Benchmark 3-groove, but haven't shot on any of the ARA targets yet this year. No doubt in my mind that shooting really good 5-shot groups is easier than shooting really good scores on any of the targets that require a shot on a different bull each time.
I have good confidence in the Nevius chamber at 50yds - will be shooting the new smallbore prone V22S in prone bullseye smallbore matches, so will be at both 50 & 100yds with it. May wind up putting another Pro-X tuner on it if I feel the need...
Thanks for your response. Why do you think the Pro-x will do better in the wind? Are you using a tuner now? I use Harrell tuner now with the extra weight. I struggle in the wind and finally got my first 2,000 plus targets on our last 2 card match.I've bought a couple of packages of the ARA targets, and had shot several of them back before I re-barreled the original V22S with a Benchmark 3-groove, but haven't shot on any of the ARA targets yet this year.

The Harrell seems to be the poplar one of choice in the ARA world. I am planning to add more weight to the turner to move the node further out?What tuner does Ivan and MB use?
Hozer,After shooting my 223 Ackley bolt gun at our monthly PRS match, I decided to relax and spend some time with my Vudoo single shot on the 200 meter range.
I put a new Rodzilla top on my SEB NEO rest and wanted to just get some rounds across it to see how I am going to like it.
It tracks absolutely incredible. Vey happy with it so far. Hitting coffee can sized targets at 220 yards was pretty easy.
Vudoo SS, right bolt, left port. Shilen Ratchet, 16 twist, MTU contour. Bix and Andy 2 ounce trigger, McM stock, S&B 5-25 scope.
I have another stock for it, a Cerrus F-Class wood stock with CF stringers. But it will be a while before the stock doc is done with it. Time will tell which stock I will prefer more.
The only other change will be 7/8-24 muzzle threading for a Thunderbeast Ultra 5 suppressor and an ATS tuner. Maybe a Flavio trigger.
Thanks for posting the link to the targets again RF99 - I printed the unlimited 50yd & 100yd Mini Palma ones out, as well as the other textual info. Living out here in the sticks, this may well be the only form of competition that I can shoot easily, without driving a few hours. To tell the truth though, all these consecutive triple-digit days are keeping me from doing any shooting right now. I try to get any & all farm work that requires me to be outdoors done early in the day - which is the only time I've got any desire to be shooting right now. This just isn't a good summer - for shooting or anything else I can think of. It's burning up all the non-irrigated crops across not only Kansas, but eastern Colorado, Oklahoma, and Texas - the lucky folks up in Nebraska have had quite a few more showers than us. Maybe we'll get some relief from the heat & drought before winter hits - who knows?flatland1, if you're in need of some Mini-Palma action, I have a 100 yard match you can try out for fun.

flatland1, I completely understand. Glad you can use these when you get a break from your chores! I can't shoot here in SE Wisconsin when it gets into the 90's with high humidity. I can't imagine trying to shoot in the conditions you're going through. Let's hope that the weather breaks, gives us all a little rain and cools down just a bit!Thanks for posting the link to the targets again RF99 - I printed the unlimited 50yd & 100yd Mini Palma ones out, as well as the other textual info.

I asked this question a while back. No specific torque setting. What I decided was tighten till it won’t rotate by hand. In other words, don’t over tighten.For those of you who use a tuner with set screws like the ATS and others, do you use a specific torque setting for the set screw?
What do you guys recommend?
Appreciate any replies, thanks.
If you are referring to the firing pin, the small set screws should not be all that tight, and when you are ready to tighten them back down, Mike bush states to just "snug" them down. there is a video on the bolt dis-assembly and assembly at the vudoo website, or on youtube.Hello
To change the pin, did you have difficulties to loosen the 0.05" BTR screws
Thank you for your answer
