 | | The.222 Remington, a popular varmint cartridge of the day, dominated the benchrest world from its inception until around 1975, when the wildcat 6 mm PPC, based on a modified.220 Russian case (which is in turn a boxer-primed derivative of the military 7.62 x 39 mm), took over as the most accurate cartridge. |
 | | Today, the 6 mm PPC and the Remington BR line of cartridges (based on the 3.08 x 1.5", a shortened, small primer pocket.308 Winchester) are tops in the field. |
 | | Unlimited class rail guns are just barrelled actions clamped directly to a machine rest, no additional rests are needed; the base of the railgun provides adjustable feet to provide a stable position on the bench, and the rifle is aimed with horizontal and vertical adjustments built into the rest. |
