Not to ruffle any feathers, but ask over at Rimfirecentral.com. Somebody over there is bound to have a copy, if there is one to be had.

Yes; "The Art of Rimfire Accuracy" by Bill Calfee, published by AuthorHouse, 1663 Liberty Drive, Bloomington, IN 47403. Last I saw you could purchase it on Amazon.com - just click on the Amazon.com privacy statement ad box (should be one at the top of this page) to go there from this site and earn AccurateShooter.com some referral money with your purchase....

It doesn't exist. All the threading and chambering and crowning is basically the same as any other bbl. It's the details pertinent to any lead bullet bbl that are the critical issues. This mostly has to do with throat/leade polishing after the reaming and slugging the bbl to find the correct point to place the crown.

For slugging I use the bullets from the cartridges I will be shooting in the bbl. Either Eley EPS or Lapua Center X.

IMO, the most critical tool for success in rimfire bbl chambering is a high quality borescope. Being able to examine the leade under magnification is critical. The borescope also helps you diagnose leading or carbon fouling of the bore. You can also determine the proper cleaning procedure for individual bbl/ammo combinations.

Good luck.
