Joeb,
I see it's your day to pick an argument with me.
When I'm on the ASSRA Forum I think in terms of SS Schuetzen rifles. Now if you want to argue CBA and MV's that can, and do, approach 2400 fps, then I'll go along with you. But, as far as Schuetzen goes I'll stand behind what I said.
Why don't you start a thread on here asking the Schuetzen shooters what alloy they use. Now I don't mean the Shilouette shooters, or the CBA shooters, hunters or the plinker/tin can shooters, but the Schuetzen shooters who are looking for the best target accuracy they can get.
Alloys...... Again you're picking at nits. Your correct in that Lino & WW's can't be said to be one composition or another. WW's have changed compostion at least three times in my life that I know of, and who knows what it is in foreign countries. Lino can be any composition since unless you buy virgin material what you're getting is what the print shops are getting rid of. You're right in the fact that most of the Lead we use in Schuetzen shooting is not 100% pure. But then not even X-Ray Lead is. There will always be SOME impurities. The "pig" Lead, or pipe, most of us use will run at about a minimum of about 98% pure, with most running 99+%. The Tin we use will mostly be as pure as standard refinery techniques allow. If you think we are way off base and only trying to impress the novice, when we say we're using 1-20, 1-25, etc., then you'd really be down on the old timers who felt that you had to change the Tin/Lead ratio by as little as one...... i.e. - 1-20, 1-21, 1-22, etc....... in order to find the best alloy in for their rifle.
You make the claim you can shoot WW bullets as accurately, and breech seat them ALMOST as easily as pure Lead. As for the accuracy...... I assume you've looked at the ASSRA records I've posted on here. From your own talk you aren't able to come even close to any of these scores/groups. In fact you insult those who can shoot sub MOA practically on demand by saying it's not possible. Just because YOU can't do it. As others must wonder....... your WW's aren't doing all that well, are they? As for the breech seating end of things I fail to see what that has to do with accuracy. In a properly throated barrel I can seat Lino bullets as easily as pure Lead. Doesn't make them more accurate.
So Joe, when you're on here why don't you give us your experiences in Schuetzen shooting? You seem to have all the answers, so I'm sure all of us would like to hear them, rather than the antagonistic approach you seem to prefer.
The CBA is an excellent organization. I belong to it and consider many of it's officers/ members as friends. But..... They play a whole different ball game with many rules not even applicable to ASSRA, ISSA, or WSU rules. I wouldn't think of doing what you do here and go on a CBA Forum and tell them because I can do so and so in Schuetzen that they are doing it all wrong and need to ....... as Steve Garbe says..... follow the one true way.
