[QUOTE="Randy Tidwell, post: 2733273, member: 109136"] Hello Alex, I have been following this blog on for awhile, allot of great info by you and others. In 2021 I had two Ruger No1s built, 6.5 PRC and 300 Rum by Oregon Gun Smithing in Pendleton WA. Love them both; they did a wonderful job on both rifles. The problem I am having has nothing to do with their workmanship. I am having extraction problems with both (ADG Brass) using below max loads, no pressure signs! The extraction issue is the worst with the Rum to the point I ended up bending the extractor. I know the No1s aren't known for a strong extraction system. It is at a custom gunsmiths locally to have the extractor replaced. So I can't do any detailed measurements at this time on the Rum as all my brass is with the smith. I did some measuring on the brass for the PRC this morning, measured .200" up the web, 10 different cases measured .5322 to .5325. This rifle was chambered with a reamer I had made by Pacific tool with a .295 neck. In comparing my reamer specs to your 6.5 PRC AW 2 drawing, we are .002 apart at the web. Do you think opening up my chamber that .002" might cure my problem? I'm also second guessing the tight neck; it was strictly my anal bench rest mindset that was over thinking the project, lol I have ordered some pin gauges to confirm actual ID of the chamber. Would your custom rifle department be able to run your reamer into these rifles for me? Randy Tidwell [/QUOTE]
