Sure Rimfire Sensitive Targets
Hi all. We've had quite a few PM's asking questions about the Rimfire Magnum Target that we produce so i thought I'd make a post explaining what the product is and what calibres it can be used with.
WHAT IS THE SURE SHOT RIMFIRE MAGNUM? - The Sure Shot Rimfire Magnum is a safe Rimfire sensitive binary exploding target that works within 100 yards with a .22lr and most hand gun calibres IF you can hit it!
It is also good for use with shotguns, buckshot, slugs etc we do advise not to use birdshot or target loads.
The Rimfire Magnum is also a precision tool for the long range shooter that wants a positive report when they hit the target at 1000 yards. That 1000 yard shot with a .308 is not possible with most Centrefire Binary targets because the bullet has lost too much velocity by the time it gets to the target. The rimfire magnum however is very reliable at that distance and has been used by the US military as a target indicator.
CLASSIFICATION - The target went though rigorous testing procedures with the federal government here in Canada, passed every safety test and is classed the same as a standard binary target meaning all of the same laws apply in regards to purchase limits and use etc, it is however limited to 1/2lb targets since 1lb was deemed too powerful.
MIXING THE RIMFIRE MAGNUM - There is an extra step involved, the larger bag containing the white ingredients will often have large chunks inside, make sure to crush those in the bag before fully mixing the target. See
the mixing video below explaining this produced by the Gould Brothers exhibition Shooting team (product in the video has the American labeling but is the same target)
