Kcajeel,

The Monica Lewinsky match is benchrest, 22 rimfires at 100 yards.  We use the red WSU 50-ft gallery target, with 6 bulls on an 8.5x11 piece of card stock paper.  This is the same target as the ASSRA gallery target.

The targets are stapled to backers on our club's 100-yard range.  Each competitor shoots 5 targets for score, shooting 2 shots at each bull, 10 shots for score.  Max score is 1250 with 50 centers.   

Shooters can put up as many targets as they desire.  Some guys put up all 5 at once.  I prefer 2 at a time, side by side.  There is no set pattern or way.

With practice, our scores are about the same as our best offhand scores shot during the winter league.

The bulls are so small that it is effectively a scopes-only match.  We have 2 classes; traditional single shots and any rifle.

Our range is about 300 yards from the beach and faces south.  Wind is normally a factor, as is mirage.

We are very flexible as to when we hold the match.  It appears on the Redwood Gun Club match schedule and we have Tuesdays reserved, but we work around the time & calendar demands of competitors.  We're all local, phone calls & e-mails can arrange things pretty easily.

It is a really long drive from Michigan to the Pacific Ocean.  If you came, we would arrange at least one more match (200 yard benchrest?) or maybe two.  Maybe we could get the State of Jefferson guys to drive down.  Tourism is a big deal here.  There is plenty for the Missus to do.

Would you gentlemen please explain how you are "pulling" the bullets from factory cases and processing them for your reloading. 
I several  methods and have used them on occasionally but not for rimfire ammunition.

One of the major factors in experimenting with the 22rf rounds is the issue of primed case availability. the concept interests me and I have tried to follow most of the threads and posts whenever this has come up.
I personally would be a bit concerned for the safety aspects.  Since purchasing empty but primed 22 rf ammo is no longer a possibility, "pulling" bullets safely seems to only way the rest of us can get cases.

My adventures in pulling .22 rimfire bullets have usually resulted in damaged bullets.  I have not tried an impact puller.  That seems like asking for trouble.  I thought the breech-seated bullets were cast, not the factory ones.

A few years back, one of the smaller companies (the outfit from the Philippines) made up packages of primed cases.  A few guys on this Forum bought them, including me.  Perhaps that could happen again.

Johnny, I don't think so but, I will try it this year. I'm actually suppose to have one when I shoot ISSA matches..

I'll have to try that with pliers.   I have a shell holder for 22 RF, but have used it in my C press, holding the bullets.  They come out, but marred.  I tried dykes.  Just hold the bullet and pull the press handle down. Still marred the bullets.

They are secured in the shell holder. After that, I put them in a cci mini mag container.

I've pulled a few thousand that way. They only seem to go off after being struck with the firing pin.

I don't pull bullets because I lucked out buying primed empty Aqula cases that are not available any more.  But I reload 22LR's with black powder and smokeless.  Might be interested in the latest writeup ...

Yes, it is, pretty much a push rod. 

I set the depth, using the Russ Weber method. 

1. Put the bullet in backward

2. Measure from the back of the barrel, to the bullet nose

3. Add the bullet length to the #2 measurement

4. Make your seater to that length

I make mine out of 3/8 brass rod. They BS easy as long as the bullet isn't over .001 larger than he groove diameter.

I shoot off the bench, throwing each charge into the case before chambering it. The little round thing is the adapter I use so, I can use the powder measure with the 30 cal spout.

Shooting that way, I can easily, load and shoot 10 shots in 20 min. The ISSA time limit.
