I admitted that t h e r e w a s c o n s i d e r a b l e t r u t h i n h i s a r g u m e n t , b u t , n e v e r theless, ventured that even the novice requires to possess unlimited confidence in the ammunition he uses, otherwise he soon becomes discouraged, and the club deplores his absence from practice. Perhaps not the least important article in a club's paraphernalia is this indispensable commodity. 1 do not propose to recommend any particular brand of ammu nition. although 1 have a particular weakness for one, for the simple iteason that we have to be satisfied with the limited resources at our disposal to-day. A marksman in the old days studied the ammunition question only in the light of self-aggrandisement ; he demanded the absolute best on the market, caring not one iota where or how it was manufactured, and the employment of British labour in its production was probably his last consideration. How ever, when supplies were cut off owing to the outbreak of hostilities, it was proved that the peculiar penchant the m a r k s m a n h a d h a d f o r G e r m a n . 2 2 a m m u n i t i o n w a s a n unwarranted obsession, and the wave of patriotism which swept the country inspired all riflemen to demand either an article of British manufacture or, if unobtainable, the powder and shot produced by our American cousins. Before the war British manufacturers were devoting their energies to place ammunition on the market equal in accuracy to any supplied by the subjects of the Kaiser, and if it was ever questionable that in that they had not succeeded, there is preponderating evidence that their brands were infinitely more economical to use, because they were in many cases cheaper, and also that its com bustion did not have such a devastating effect upon the barrels of the rifles—a very important point for many of our clubmen and also our club committee to conjure with. 1 have laboured this point intentionally because we o f t e i T h e a r i t r e m a r k e d t h a t t h e r e i s n o a m m u n i t i o n o n t h e market to-day that can approach the old " R " brand for accuracy. It is nothing but a fallacy, and 1 sincerely hope that when we are once again on a friendly footing with w h a t r e m a i n s o f K a i s e r d o m w e , w h o h a v e d i s c o v e r e d t h a t our factories or those of our Allies can supply all that we require to re-establish our predominance of skill, will taboo any brand that is not supplied by one of the nations w h o w e r e a t w a r w i t h t h e H u n . The S.Al.R.C. are disposed to supply very reliable a m m u n i t i o n t o i t s a f fi l i a t e d c l u b s , a n d I t h e r e f o r e a d v i s e all clubs to place themselves entirely in their hands as the}- naturally should have their needs attended to at the first onset. The difficulty of obtaining just what one requires is but temporary, while the prices, which are now certainly inflated,Tvill be in a few months much more reasonable. Before dismissing the subject of ammunition I must ■ caution clubs to purchase only that suitable tor fheir rifles in respect of the two varieties, viz., " Long" and " Short." There is a considerable quantity of Remington U.M.C. "Short" in this country just now, which, although par- t i c u l a r h ' a c c u r a t e i n r i fl e s c h a m b e r e d f o r t h e s h o r t c a r t ridge, is most unsuitable for the greater proportion of rifles —chambered for the " long rifle " cartridge—which are offered for sale or are in use in the United Kingdom. The "Shoit" U.M.C. cartridge is very popular in tFe States, and it is easy to form an opinion how it arrived in this country. It is also to be observed that a cartridge of a certain brand that may shoot well in one rifle will often e.xasperatingly send a bullet all over the place in another. This is almost invariably due to the condition of the breech end of the barrel, which has probably suffered from the evil effects of high velocity brands of ammunition being used or being leaded owing to the use of "short" ammu nition when.unsuitable, ks a rough and ready guide, it may be stated that a cartridge which slips too easily into the breech will not shoot well. The Care of the Clit! Rifle. It may not be in the correct order of secjuence that a mem. regarding the imjiortance of the care and attention of the club rifle should appear, but as we are dealing more or less with paraphernalia it must not be forgotten that the club rifle needs just as much attention as a member's privately-owned weapon. Even more so I because it is "nobody's pal." To begin, the sights need adjusting. This should be the job of a consistently good shot, who having leisurely fired at least five rounds after obtaining carton hits, should take a note of the rifle's number arc! WWW.RIFLEMAN.ORG.UK228 T H E R I F L E M A N . June, 1919. its elevation and direction in this manner, i.e., if the weapon is equipped with a B.S.A. orthoptic backsight : " Rifle 2549, Elevation, 25yds., lofths. Direction fths right." But if the rifle is equipped with a Greener or a L.S.A. backsight which show markings for 25, 50 and looyds., a slight scratch may be made on the upright stem and a suitable reference made regarding the direction. When e a c h r i fl e h a s b e e n a t t e n d e d t o , t h e n o t e s s h o u l d b e -collected and clearly printed on a stout card and posted at the firing point or at a place adjacent to it. Members should be forbidden to make marks of identification other than those prescribed, otherwise confusion will ensue. Volunteers are no doubt thoroughly intimate with the regulations as laid down for the care and cleaning of arms, but these are by no means adequate regarding .22 rifles. For instance, the oil issued, which I understand is called Russian petroleum, is not a cleansing oil. The member possessing a rifle would not use it, even if it were obtain able, so why should anything of its nature be sufficient for the club gun ? Good cleaning rods are absolutely essential to a club. Pull-throughs are not to be recom mended. No, stout highly-polished steel rods are best, especially if they have freely turning handles. A polished steel stout rod can do no damage to the rifling if used carefully. Neither do I recommend the "Jag"; plug loops and brushes fitted to the screw end of the rods will be quite adequate. At the close of a day's shooting the range officer on that particular occasion should see that the club rifles are "racked" properly. The barrels should be first cleared of deposit, then cleansed with a piece of flannelette, saturated with a suitable "cleaner" (which may be purchased through the S.M.R.C.). The barrel should then be wiped and a thick oil or petroleum jelly applied. The writer always uses a brass loop screwed to the end of a stout ball-bearing rod. The rod is passed down the barrel from the muzzle end and is screwed into the loop, carrying the flannelette, which has been inserted in the breech end. The rod is then drawn up a few inches and the breech closed. The rod is then drawn up carefully to avoid wearing the muzzle end of the barrel, and pushed down several times before finally withdrawing, thus adequately cleansing the grooves. Occasionally the brush is used as an additional scourer, the loop being removed. Barrel cleaning is not a very simple job, but as accurate shooting is desired and also " barrel life" is essential in these days it must be done and done thoroughly. Those who take more than a passing interest in the .22in. calibre cartridge know that the products of combustion of smokeless powders and of the fulminate of the primer are intensely acid and if this fouling is left in the barrel for even a short time corrosion sets in which is very difficult to stop. A corroded spot in the barrel gathers up lead which may alter the zero of the rifle from shot to shot until it reaches the maximum and is then blown out. Rifle barrels are canny things, and whereas some will shoot fairly well when they should be " scrapped," others are responsible for key-holed shots when the slightest of scratches appears on the lands. However, the safest policy is prevention of the evil by cleansing and careful attentron to the barrels and also, I may add, to the sights, the foresight being always pro tected when the rifle is not in use. Something .^bout T argets. Probably in advising the use of the S.M.R.C. Standard Target for the respective ranges in place ot that issued by the Volunteer Association, which the members are more or less familiar with, I shall create some dissatisfaction. However, as the Society's Standard Decimal 1 arget is as near perfection for target shooting as anything that could be devised, the recommendation is justified. The diagrams are designed' for the different distances so that the diameter of the bullseye is as near as possible four minutes of angle at the range it is to be used for, viz., four inches at 100yds., two at 50 and one at 25yds. These objects are quite large enough and each can be seen comfortably at the firing points. The carton subtends two minutes of angle, and, providing good ammunition is used in a suitable weapon, it'is not impossible to obtain all-in groups. Now I am aware that there are several men who were accustomed to place every shot in the bull of the Volunteer target and will be discouraged if they do not score so well in their estimation when the Standard target is used for the first time, but they in most cases will under-estimate their ability to score, overlooking, as they apparently will do, the comparative sizes of the groups made on the old target and on the new. It is surprising to what extent one may become accustomed to a certain target; even novelties— some perfectly hideous—offer very little difficulty after a practice shoot or two. But it is not advisable immediately the club has started to prescribe that the match target shall be used in practice. Many clubs fall into that obvious error of placing a target, which to a novice bristles with difficulties, on the range for all and sundry to fire at. By all means lead your members towards the' match target by easy stages. It is almost essential that the expert should employ none other than the five-bull card at 25yds. and the two-bull at 50yds., he does not require any further extension beyond the five-ring for his wayward shots ; rarely, in fact, will he ever leave the black " nine " in a series of ten rounds, but the novice should have every advantage given him, so I certainly recommend that the single-bull prac.ice target be used at the first onset, followed by the double-bull at 25yds. and the single-bull practice target at 50yds., each having scoring rings of one up to the carton-ten. The five-diagram card was introduced because so many men were accustomed to group their shots very closely and it has proved very satisfactory ; even now two shots are often found absolutely through one hole. Some men experience a difficulty in making good scores on the double and five-bull target on account of the necessary alteration in position in changing from bull to bull. But with the double-bull the change is but four inches, and this should be accomplished without a serious breakdown in the scoring. The " tip " of course is to learn to accom modate the body to the change without making so big a movement. On indoor ranges the losses in changing from bull to bull are generally the result of lighting differences, where the varying effects of light, which must always be considered, invariably more often trouble the marksman than the taking up of a new position. The time-limit target, which is of an elliptical design and comprises an elliptical black bull on a green card, may be tackled later. This design penalises any suspicion of " pulling," but allows a certain latitude for aiming up and down the target. WWW.RIFLEMAN.ORG.UK229 As I have mentioned, don't be discouraged because you have not succeeded in obtaining 3'our customary all-in the black target in your hrst half-dozen attempts. Persevere and success will soon appear. Then you will agree with me that the standard decimal of the S.M.R.C. is by far the best target for practical shooting. Another point in favour of the standard decimal target is that the standardisation assists the rifleman to a remark able extent when making sight alterations. The scale of the orthoptic backsight is generally divided into big divisions, each one-twentieth of an inch. These divisions can b e s ub - d ivi ded int o fif t hs by m eans o f a mo v ing vernier scale, such lifth representing one-hundredth of an inch. Now the reason that one-hundredth of an inch has b e e n c h o s e n a s t h e d i v i s i o n o b t a i n a b l e b y m e a n s o f the vernier is because one-hundredth of an inch gives with the average sight radius in use one inch difference on a target at 100yds., half an inch at 50yds. and a quarter of an inch at 25yds. Now we come to our point of vantage w h i c h t h e c l u b m e m b e r s h o u l d b e a r i n m i n d . A m o v e ment of the sight one division by the vernier will move the shot on the target, if fired from either the 25, 50 or looyds. firing points, half the width of the standard carton or the width of one scoring ring. So after firing your first shot, during which you are confident that you held correctly, j-ou may ascertain b\' the scoring rings the extent of the error and also the number of divisions you maj' require to move your sight so that your subset|uent shots may appear in the carton.
