I've been searching all over the internet and can't seem to find a listing of the stock rules for the international sporter class .22's as is shot overseas, especially in Australia and in the Phillipines. I know they have a 2.25" width limit and the bottom must be convex, but by how much I can't seem to find. Anyone able to help me a bit here?
