USA 50 Targets - Scoring Gauge(s)
I have been told many different things by different people. It is now my understanding that when plugging USA 50 targets you must use 2 plugs (outer and inner). Unfortunately we have been using just the inner for quite a while now. Anyways, know that I know that I should use both plugs I cannot find a USA 50 outer scoring plug. Champions Choice and Shooters do not sell a USA 50 plug, they only sell a '.22 caliber' plug and they say that should work??!!?? Ultimately I was told I need a outer plug that measures 8.983mm. Any thoughts?

USA-50 Scoring Gauges

You can score the USA-50 using either gauge (to a point). The outer gauge will not be usable outside the 4 ring. The inner gauge will be required for these rings.Otherwise, either gauge is approved for scoring. USAS has an addendum to their rules addressing the scoring of this target. NRA published changes for the smallbore rules that didn't include all the procedures for scoring this target. HQ Moody at NRA has said the new rules should be published by the end of this week. They should detail everything you need to know about scoring. I personally prefer the outward gauge for those shots 6 and above, because you aren't looking at a disturbed shot hole. Especially with a 10, where the whole dot must be obliterated or covered by the inner plug, the outward plug is easier for me to use against the scoring ring.

swamped?
He's probably REALLY BUSY trying to turn out all those plugs we need :^) This would be a good chance for those people with a lathe in their garage or basement. Wish I would have had the moxie to buy a little UniMat way back when ...jmkwyo wrote:Alright I have called Mr. Earnest several times and left several messages... Anyone know of someone else who might mill outer USA 50 plugs?
Thanks,
