There's been a guy in the Columbus area that has sold rimfire accuracy stuff for years. His name is Carl Juess. (Spelling ?????) As I understand it his background is Army AMTU. I've bought stuff off and on from him for years. You don't need anyone else if he's still in business. I'll get the...

Check out CZ.... their guns are very well made for the money... actually very well made... period. Mine is a .17HMR and I have had a ball with it since I bought it last year. You can get a smaller rifle, sort of a "boy's model" and there are lots of aftermarket parts available. There is a ton...

Tim Gardner once told me... that he could check the microfinish in the bore of his barrels and others. He said he consistently had a better finish than a lapped barrel Tim isn't the sort to lie about something like that. I believe him. Dick Wright

We've used them... a lot. The last two new barrels I got were Douglas. Over the years that we competed a lot both Glorya and I used them and won a few things with them. (Mostly Glorya) Now that Glorya is retired and I don't shoot much the barrels on my bench guns, both the .22 Short and the...

Rule One @ Rachel's Glen... If you meet a guy named Brady and shake hands with him... keep your other hand on your billfold. Trust me. Dick Wright

A duece is probably my all time favorite cartridge. The first new gun I bought was a Sako Rhiimaki in .222. FWIW Remington used to include a group with all new 40X's which showed which load was used. It was almost always 23-1/2 gr. of 4895. This is extremely accurate and safe. You can't get...

Firing pin speed/travel... Years back Ken Markle (K & M) calculated the difference in time it took for a firing pin to hit a primer when the primer was properly seated (see above) but varied in thickness... i.e. thickest primer vs thinnest primer. As previously stated all primers vary a lot in...

Al, Looks like a target rifle with a big scope to me. That's an interesting hunk of wood your gun is setting on. Dick

Tricrown... I wrote about this subject years ago in Precision Shooting. The article was back around 1993 or '94. For optimum results you want a .002" crush on SR primers and a .003" crush on LR primers. I have a letter from Federal so stating. I checked a LOT of primers for thickness and never...

What kind of... shape is it in? Can you get a good picture? I have a friend who buys them. Dick Wright

How to shoot Chipewa County... A. Get reservations and stay at the Kewadin Casino Saturday night. Call Joe and have dinner with the natives Sat. night. B. After din-din excuse yourself and hit the blackjack tables. Glorya and I have found the dealers friendly. I mean, how many times to you go...

Isabella club... The last time I talked to Steve he said the club elders decided that we could have matches any time we wanted this summer... EXCEPT ON SATURDAYS AND SUNDAYS. Cuss words... Dick

Lou, You won't have any problem getting into the Holton range. You will be pleasantly surprised at the quality of the facilities there. Dick

I have three of the... "Ultimate" books plus Wallack's "Modern Accuracy" plus many, many more. I would sell them if I got a good offer. I am in an inventory reduction mode. Dick Wright

Joe, What is your club website? I forgot. Isn't there a map to the club on the website? Dick

Rick... We'll try to keep everyone informed. Steve and Harry and I will be getting together right after the holidays and try to figure out just what, when and how we are going to do it. ICSC did hold rimfire matches a few years back and some of the members are interested. Happy Holidays! Dick

American craftsmanship isn't dead... but it can be hard to find. Go to the gunshop and compare a Pre-war M-70 with most anything offered today. On the other hand let's see you find one of those M-70's that will shoot like a contemporary Savage varmint gun. If you want to see craftsmanship...

I've had excellent luck with a Hornet and the Nosler .224" Hornet bullets. I use WW 680 and AA 1680 powders. Best check that thing out on Varmint Al. I've never had a Ruger Hornet. Dick Wright

Joe, In 2011 there will be both rimfire and centerfire matches at the Isabella County Sportsmans Club which is near Mt. Pleasant. How's that for a central location? Steve Robbins and Harry Ross are putting together a schedule. We will get it published and on here as soon as they decide on...

Get the Benchrest Primer and the Precision Shooting Reloading Guide. Everything you need to know is in there. Also you need Mike Ratigan's book. Dick Wright
