Slick Yes the triple crown last year was a great trip for me and I did enjoy meeting and shooting against you guys. I'd like to go back again and shoot with my own gear and take it a little more serious. But you guys are good and realistically I doubt I could break into the top 20 but I'd still...

Another thing I have noticed is those who think they have all the answers never seem to win a big match and never improve and those with an open mind who are constantly looking for way to improve alway seem to get better. Peter

In some countries it is hard to get ammo but it places like Australia we have reasonable supplies of Eley, RWS and Lapua and over the years I won nationals and international medals with all 3, I just use what works best. In Europe you have Eley, RWS and Lapua test ranges so roughly within a...

There is no hard data but if you look at results from around the world for about the last 5 year or so, that is the trend that is showing up. But if a lot of match result isn't a way of judging what is working, what is??? Peter

If you look at results world wide from the last couple of years there is a trend with which brand of action works best with which brand of ammo. But as with all things rimfire there is always exceptions to the rule, like the last 2 world championships were won using a Falcon action and who would...

Brian The electronic scoring in the US tells you how close to the the edge the shot is and on a ARA target I had 3 in a row all .001" out and all plugged and were still out. These days I think I'd rather have my targets scored by the computer, I see less mistakes on my scoring. I'm shooting...

Brian I wasn't there yesterday but on the first day with 2 of the LV targets shot there was not one thing protested. Peter PS Australia winning the team gold medal.

One thing to take into consideration is the angle on the outer edge of the firing pin tip. You are pushing a wedge shaped tip into the brass and deeper it goes the more it pushes brass out of the way, so if there is a big angle on that outside edge it can give you a false indication of how close...

Pete Having played with a few Hall bolts I can say for a fact the only way the firing pin can touch the barrel is if the firing pin is too long and any weights on or off would make zero difference. Uncocked your bolt and look at the tip of the firing pin sticking out, ideally the tip should be...

Wayne It's about 33hour trip for me to get there and a fun match on the Thursday to blow out the cobwebs would be appreciated, so count me in. Peter

Jerry The 180 available benches for the Triple Crown have been spoken for since March and there is a bit of a wait list too. Even has a few international shooters on the list of nominations. Peter

Doug The ranges in Europe are all the same and use a big vice, you put your action in a cradle and the cradle goes into the vice. The problem in Europe is they don't have cradles for BR actions. What I did was make a T shaped bracket with 2 pieces of 1x4x10" aluminium and bolted that to the...

Danny Of the top 3 day 1 in the individual match, 1st and 3rd are using the same Falcon/octagonal built by Brett Wilson in Australia I don't know what ammo. Richard Lightfoot in 2nd place I think is using his V1 Turbo/ratchet/Gorham and he's using R50. That's all I know Peter

Ben When RBA started in Australia in 2004 it was run by Western Sydney Rifle Club and was part of the US RBA using the US targets that have smaller scoring rings. You'll find national winners from the early year of RBA in Australia have US made national championship rings. The 2 day 6 target...

Bill Who ever wins in France will be the 2014 world champion and whoever wins the teams match are the 2014 world champion country. As they say, your only as good as your last match, so the rest of us (who have won) are just former world champions. Peter

Bill Plenty of good gear outside the US these days, Craig sold the Duke, it's now in the UK. I have 2 new Turbo's one with 3 Gorham fitted ratchet barrels that Dan Killough tuned in his tunnel my other Turbo has Muller barrels fit by Eck and I'm just one of many outside the US who has tooled up...

Ben The short answer is, not a lot of interest in representing their country overseas with US rimfire shooters. In contrast the top 9 qualifiers in Australia all want to go to France. Peter

Norma is RWS in a Norma box. Some of the lots of Norma shot better than R50 but when Winchester Australia became the importer they didn't seem to want to sell to it shops and you don't see it much these day. Peter

Chris You need to talk to Sully he is the Australian agent. Peter

Dan Those who are getting beat will always say it's all about the gun, those who are picking up medals will say it's more about the the shooter. Peter
