No one has said that your suggestion was not sensible only that there was no need for it as it is already covered in the current rules. If you are not in agreement the proper procedure would be  to send your request for change in writing to the board of directors for their consideration. We all know that the board does not conduct their business on this site so all of the discussions about rule changes are going unheard and all they have accomplished is to create a distraction from the original intent of the breach seating topic.

OK
I'll try to make this simpler The rule book does not tell you what you can do. It tells you what you can't do. I see no language that says that breech seating rimfire is not allowed. 
I can not speak to what went on before I became involved with the board but since I have been involved the focus has been No. 1 safety and No. 2 trying to eliminate unfair advantage. That has been the 2 considerations in every rule change since I have been involved. 
I can't see either being a problem here. While I personally shoot fixed rimfire ammunition I see nothing either dangerous or unfair about using it. 
Changing the entire rulebook because a handful of members want to litigate what is is, is simply impractical. If a local member club feels different then there is always the local Schuetzenmeister's prerogative of "Not in the spirit of the match". Schuetzenmeisters may use this in areas where they feel the rules are murky or where local custom is different from the norm.

     You're right, 15 cents a round for something like eley target ammo is quite a bargain.  Now if I could find a couple hundred rounds at that price, I'd give it a try.                                                                 [quote author=333333080F0F140512600link=1350497165/48#48 date=1350828519]Thank you. Clarity, at last. 
I'll likely never BS rimfire, and don't care if others do. 
Personally, I do not think $0.15/shot is expensive ammo considering what we pay to shoot a CF Scheutzen or BPCR round, so I'll likely continue to shoot fixed rimfire ammo. To each their own as long as it is safe and fun. At least that's why I'm shooting. [/quote]

You know,
Sometimes I think some of the guys here forget where they are posting and carry on and rant about things that really don't make much sense.
the title of this tread is:

BSing 22 RF, YOUR  OPPINION

So I offer an opinion on how to put a stop to any and all crying and whining that may start because of the wording in the rules  ( I guess some still don't understand the meaning of the word cartridge and that it means single unit, thanks to Tenx you should all know that by now ) and just because some don't agree with it I'm trying to destroy the whole ASSRA because good match "cartridges"  are to expensive for new guys to start shooting, and now I'm trying put a stop to guys experimenting.

All I can say is BULL, the next thing some of you will want to do is put a limit on the value of a scope that can be used just so new guys can afford to get started, lets say no one can use a scope that cost over $ 200.00, ya right this way the poor guys can shoot with other poor guys. 

Please, give me a break, I bet some of you are the same ones that agree that no child will be held back, who cares if they cant read, if you hold them back there feelings will be hurt.

Do any of you really think that "new guys" will start shooting just because BSing is cheaper that buying good match ammo, get real, most new guys don't even know what BS is, and if you tell them how it's done and what they will have to do, for sure they will run away and will never be seen again.

I'll go for the scope cost restriction to keep the old rich guys from dominating all BSed .22 matches in the future.  Lol!
Anyone shooting cheap American made ammo has to use a cheap scope. That is assuming the lead the brass and powder are all made in the US

Frank, The rule book clearly states "cartridge".  Why try to twist it around? No one is trying to stop you or anyone from shooting BSed 22s in matches. Nothing wrong with quoting the rule book. And there's no interpretation needed. It's very clear.

Whitey, A pair of 244s isnt gonna throw a scare into the old rich guys!

Find which ammo/cartridges works best in your favorite rifle and buy low. Dont buy a brick, buy ten cases! Then when inflation overtakes the the ones who didnt, everyone will think you're rich.

I dont see anything wrong with the thread.  No rules have been broken.  This thread has been very entertaining.  A lot of twists and turns but certainly not spiraling downwards.  

I reread my posts and I wouldnt change a thing. 

Cheer up DW.

Just curious, why isnt this thread in reloading? Shouldnt it be there?
