Out of curiosity does this discipline require that a rifle be able to extract an unfired round? I ask because I'm primarily a Smallbore silhouette shooter and occasionally there is a need to extract an unfired round in the event of a cease fire.
My current reamer is the PTG Anschutz Match because it's supposed to allow me to extract an unfired round, but in reality not so much.
If that quality is a requirement a "sporting" chamber might be my choice. Both my factory Anschutz sporters do well with one.
I have a nice 300 yard range behind my machine shop. what i would like to do is hold a few rimfire matches here at my place. we would shoot steel targets at varying distances. Informal fun.
I have received lots of different suggestion here this evening . i appreciate all the support.
Centerfire is my thing, but this rimfire stuff is interesting. I think its going to be like anything else. Trial and error to learn the ropes. Lee

Boyd , not wanting to cause any problems , but I've chambered and tested dozens of receiver types and a half dozen Reamers . Even with the win 52 reamer , I've never had a problem extracting a live round . Granted I only use bolt guns . The PTG Anschutz reamer is a little larger than the win 52 and I've not had any problems with either . ( unless I use the Russian steel cased stuff )
I am thinking about holding 22LR F-Class matches.. i was thinking of 200 yards.. I am still looking at targets that can be used for that

I don't mind if Lee doesn't.
Not to get too far off into a major thread drift (sorry OP), but I often wonder if my issues are related to the angle of the extractor groove cuts in the guns in question. I've personally only done two, one with a cone breach and one that I used the mill and made plunge cuts. The cone breach extracts pretty well, but I can't seem to get the stock finished to really try out the rifle with the plunge cuts for extractor relief.
Back to regular programming.
First of all, thanks for all the support and help. this is a great site full of good people and i appreciate all of you. I Have received several PM's, and i have reamers in route.
I have made some tooling so i can measure my reamer depth, and i have the proper cutters to cut extractor grooves. i think this project will go off without a hitch. Ill post my results. thanks again fellas. Lee

Visit some of the mid size machine shops often they have "drops". Metal cutouts from fabrication, various sizes and thickness scrap to them good for you.
Not the kind of target that was thinking of..
