Theneasure was an original machine, accurateo less than one-tenth grain. The cases,uhacked off as they were to little more thanlalf the original length were heavy and impossibleto crimp. Each had to be chamfer.earned so that a suitable crimp could beAtained. Harold Russell of the Federalcartridge Company suggested a special .22Long Rifle bullet his outfit was making. Iiecided to try them. Fresh primers wereloaded in all the altered cases.I loaded a thousand rounds and the gun wasready for its baptism. I had no idea of thequantity of powder to be loaded; the limitationsof the case persuaded me I had no fear%bout getting too much! I was hopeful ofworking up a load that would closely approximatethe .22 rimfire as to velocity. I wastearful the hot 1% primer in a case so smallwas going to give me over-ignition and prob-Aly make accuracy very sketchy. These wereall things that would come out in the wash.I marched to the targets.The hybrid shot like a dream! From thefirst shot through the full clip and for allthe thousand first rounds I'd loaded it nevermissed a stutter. I made many adjustmentsof the powder charge and finally after exhaustivebenchrest testings hit on the loadthat gave me best accuracy. I then commencedto shoot for score.The first ten scores at 50 yards showed ahigh of 99 and a low of 94. At timed fire.five shots in 20 seconds at 25 yards, it ranneck and neck with the .22 rim, and at rapidfire it was the same.

NNorth Bend, OregonMatch course 25 times during a week's practiceand had an average 9.7 points higherthan my usual effort with the .38 revolver.Pistol shooting in the United States at thetime I created my .22 centerfire was classifiedas follows:(1) Matches limited to any rimfire pistolor revolver;(2) Matches limited to any centerfire pistolor revolver;(3) Matches limited to the .45 Automatic,Model of 1911.The hybrid I'd thrown together came withinthe rules governing centerfire handguns.The regulations said not a word about thecaliber of the weapon to be used and forthat reason I went ahead with intensive practiceintending to shoot it in those tourneyswhere the other marksmen would be swinging .38s. I was going to have considerableadvantage over fellow competitors and Iknew it. I had long ago decided that theelimination of recoil was the answer to highertallies and now it appeared I'd found thesolution. If this was catching the other topflighterswith their pants at half-mast, whylet 'em breed a new shooting iron as I haddone.I looked upon my new gun in much thesame light as I would view a new golf clubdeveloped by Ben Hogan which while completelylegal was yet capable of trimmingstrokes from the 18-hole stint.I dubbed the altered 5.5 centerfire the .221Askins. To distinguish it from a .22 LongRifle you almost had to upend the cartridgeto see the centerfire primer. Viewed fromthe side the two were well nigh identical.1 LEARN GUNSMITHING 1Great opportunities-Operate YOUR OWN SHOP!Learn easily with Country's most complete elementaryand advanced course.
