I do tend to look at things black and white, here's the whole part that confused me. Does not seem to allow for much deviation from as used in the day. In my way of thinking, a 120 grain bullet in a 25-20 at 1500 FPS would be an unfair advantage, but easy to do with modern smokeless powders.
Just hoping for a bit of clarification.
Quote:The Quarter Bore Corps is an informal group of ASSRA members who enjoy owning and shooting the old .25 Caliber centerfire single shot rifles. We have no real organization and charge no fees. We simply shoot and try to have a good time. In order to keep things on a lower technical level, and more enjoyable for all, the Q.B.C. subscribes to the idea of shooting old rifles and using old loading techniques which, as much as possible, reflect the customs of the
"turn of the century".
RULES:
While we subscribe to ASSRA rules, we have these further ideals and clarifications:
Rifle actions must be American made and "of the period." (or reproductions) These are usually Stevens, Winchester, Ballard, Hepburn, or Maynard rifles. These rifles should have suitable sights and stocks to fit into this approximate time frame. Tang sights
and 3/4" tube target type scopes will generally be used. Scopes will be the various Lyman Target Spots as well
as Unertls and, various older scopes such as Stevens, Winchester or Malcolm.
While we believe that no one should alter a good old rifle, we realize that sometimes rifles are found which have been neglected or injured by thoughtless conversion to modern Varmint or rimfire calibers. Replacement or refinishing of any original parts is discouraged. When these rifles do require barrel or stock work, it should be expertly done so as to restore the rifle. Any required chambering should be to some real single shot caliber. In .25's this would mean .25-20 Single Shot, .25-20 W.C.F. .25-35, .25-36 .25-21, .25-25, and perhaps a few others.
NO modern supplies, equipment, stock styling, or loading methods will be allowed which could lead to an advantage being secured over/ or harm being done to, the older rifles and methods. Velocities will be generally held to those equivalent to a normal black powder load. Breech seated bullets are highly recommended.
