Plant explosion happen 45yrs ago. Guess it helps talk about good old days.
If they are so much better, why aren't they equaling or breaking records set before 1980?Not really. The rifle barrels and chambers are so much better that what happened in 1980 is totally irrelevant to the current discussion. But I guess you already know that.
I doubt that happens. If it does, it wouldn't be the same across all bullets. All bullets would be unbalanced to varying amounts. Accuracy suffers when that happens.The second article is pretty interesting--I take a look at my bore after each outing and pull cartridges from the chamber every now and then--I find evidence of lead chunks adhering to the throat every time. I'm not sure it's exclusively the bolt and feeding itself that does it; I think it's possibly the "stickiness" of the bullet sealing to the throat that strips some from the bullet.
I see these little chunks stuck to the throat even when I carefully hand-feed a cartridge straight into the chamber--what do you think might account for it? The gun shoots extremely well otherwise.I doubt that happens. If it does, it wouldn't be the same across all bullets. All bullets would be unbalanced to varying amounts.

It takes some doing to get the throat clean, that's where I see about 97% of fouling in my CZ's barrel.I would have to get the stuff analyzed to learn what it is. It's probably the lubricant.
Record for smallest 5 shot group is 1998. One record in 1980 and one in 1981 still stand. A few in 1998. Every other record (about 100 total, 37 in Benchrest) has been beaten in the last 20 years, most in the last 10 years. No registered matches in 2020, but 2019 has about 10 records set. So, there is not a single standing record prior to 1980 that has not been beat. Kind of blows your theory into oblivion. Do some research.If they are so much better, why aren't they equaling or breaking records set before 1980?
A rimfire shooters hack...Tumble your bullets, by hand, in walnut media to get all the lube off. Then use dry compressed air to make sure there is no dust.It takes some doing to get the throat clean, that's where I see about 97% of fouling in my CZ's barrel.
In other words, the lubricant on the bullets has no real beneficial use?A rimfire shooters hack...Tumble your bullets, by hand, in walnut media to get all the lube off. Then use dry compressed air to make sure there is no dust.
Every 10th bullet, lubricate with a drop of Rem oil. I don't shoot those into groups since they will be flyers.
Eliminates the need to sort and maintains a more consistent weight and rifling engagement. In most of my rimfires, it keeps them cleaner and more accurate.
Also, if every rimfire shooter did this, the only proper use for RemOil would become common knowledge.
The premium Ely and RWS ammo I've shot is pretty stiff at around 40 cents a shot, I would think they would come with a better lubricant?Dry lubes/coatings are better for rimfire, but they cost more.

Some people cannot comprehend the fact that some competitive shooting sports are based on how often bullets touch different size scoring rings revealing their marksmanship skills....without artificial support.Hmm, make a statement, proven false again, and then narrow it down to claim it is only 1 of about 100 records. Surely you can comprehend the fallacy of your argument and statements.
