Now I'm wondering when the first thousand yard black powder rifle matches were started. Then, I wonder at what point they stopped being front loader, then breech loaded cartridges, both with loose bullets in the chamber and actual loaded rounds.
I know that there are so many differing explanations for this sort of thing. Now, I'm also wondering whether harry popes progressive rifling has ever been used with smokeless cartridges.
