Field Pistol Presidents club 2024

[Jimologist]

As Promised here is the first entry for 2024.



Jack Lambert from WVa. shot a 64 in the 60 club at his last match. It was an interesting 60 club on several fronts. Jack is using one of the new SSK-50 stainless Contender clones and man are they sweet. CNC tolerances and all the parts are interchangeable with the original Contender. All the blue and stainless barrels from both G1 and G2 Contenders will fit the SSK-50. I do not know if Armor Alloy barrels will fit.

The other interesting item about Jacks record is the calibers he is using. The PAS score was a 33 and was shot with a 25-20 barrel made by Bullberry. I personally have fallen in love with the 25-20 and and am shooting it myself. I even went so far as to buy as Marlin lever gun in 25-20. Several people have extolled the virtues of the ancient 25-20 for the Field Pistol game. Mr. Steve Ware championed it for years and he was kind enough to send me some of his brass recently.

Jack's Prod score was a 31and is even a tad more interesting. Jack had a .270 Ren barrel made by MGM back in the day when he was shooting NRA Hunter Pistol. 12" barrels were legal for NRA at the time so thats how Jack ordered his barrel. That was a few years ago so to make it legal for IHMSA rules of 10 3/4", he sent it back to MGM to be cut and crowned. If you are not familiar with the .270 Ren, it is a .22 hornet blown out straight walled. Think of a .32 HR except in .270 caliber. It too is an excellent cartridge for IHMSA Field Pistol and if you shoot on ranges with sticky rams you might want to consider the 25-20 or the .270 Ren. Both start with heavier bullets than the Hornet and you can move the bullet a lot slower. Recoil on both is negligible.

We have another entry for 2024 and this one is mine;

Shot a 35 Prod and a 25 PAS to just barely make 60 club. This was on Jack Lambert’s range in WV. Jack duplicated his last score with a 64 and he is still in first place in the agg.
