So I Made These Inserts

[USMCDOC]

Ok, got it. Then my next question is how is ammo sorted for different shooting temps and wind. I would think that on a windy day a faster bullet could minimize drift. Or is it the burn rate of different ammo powders? I read somewhere that a specific top shooter has a variety of ammo that he may change from card to card as the match progresses. What is the variable that a shooter is chasing in ammo?

Well think that in the rimfire.. wind gives the faster projectile something to "lean" on.. so in essence, is the reason that it might shoot better in the wind.. i have noticed this with Federal UM719. It is also said that when there is no apparent wind (Lance Dement whom says "There never ain't nothin'!"), to use the slowest thing you have!

I have another, maybe a dumb question. Is there a mini hand press for rimfire to make a overall length for each lot number the same? It would eliminate one variable instead of having to sort.

That type of activity is verboten and will get you disqualified if caught doing it.

Wow, that is very interesting. I thought I read all the rules pertaining to rimfire benchrest. Obviously I have not and again , I thank you for sharing your wisdom on the sport. When hunting or any type of shooting I strive for absolutely following all the rules. I have never received a citation of any kind, including driving and I'm 62. Better knock on wood.

I found the rule and it also states no removal of lubricant or adding a lubricant. I have read several threads where they remove the wax on the ammo because of accuracy. They would be in violation as well?

That is the theory..

This pic is shot at 50 yards this morning. Alternating between SK SP and Center-X. There was a total of 6 rounds each shot.. Shooting a SP one round then Center-X for a round till 6 of each were shot. the two that are alone were the last two shots.. apparently there was a down draft as each shot were one right after the other.

Rim thickness on the each was 0.385 and base to Driving band was 0.771 for the SP and for the Center-X it was .0768

Next



My aiming point was the center of the number

Wow, now that's what I call shooting accurately. And that is what I'm shooting for.

What is worth working for is accuracy that is consistent..
