Rimfire liners for our BPCR's

[Kenny Wasserburger]

THX Kenny for your time on that.
The question about the muzzle crud from the .22 liner is a concern of mine also. You are the first to post this concern in that it can't be good for the Shiloh's bore.
When funds come around. I think I will do as you did and have a .22 built.
What .22 ammo does yours like best?
If you get a chance, could you post the specs for your .22?

Gary, My 1875 likes the Eley Team the best and a slight nod to Eley Match Osp. However Like I said @ 200 yards they both tend to fall apart in windy conditions. This ammo runs in the 1056 to 1068 fps range. The Guys at the NRC matches that were kicking butt and taking names, all were shooting ammo in the 1147 fps range. This mirrors my findings in BPCR Long range, steady mild conditions a 45-70 at 1140-50 does well at long range, However the harder the conditions are they tend to fall off real fast: case in point look at the Winter Nationals Phoenix, Day 1 very tough conditions ( the whole week was actually). Top 4 shooters day one with spotters, 1st 45-100, 2nd 45-100, 3rd 45-100, 4th 45-110.

I have some Remmington Target at 1150 fps that is Eley cases and primed, with a remmington Target bullet. Initial Load tests at 50 yards showed it to be almost as good as the team for accuracy, I plan on testing it in the next day or two at 200 here and it most likely will end up being my Ram Load for the 22 BPCR Nationals. Bryan Youngberg and I both plan on doing some sight in testing At Raton this coming Friday afternoon. Before the Matches start on Saturday. This rifle hates every type of Federal match I have tried in it.

One thing I have found these rifles are picky once you find a type of ammo that it likes stick too it.

The Rifle is C Sharps standard match 1875 22 with the additon of a Single Set Trigger.
