I've been looking at the SSAA disciplines here in ACT. Anyone know if I could use my CZ515 .22 WMR for any of the disciplines? It seems that most, if not all, require 22LR.
Also, In terms of practical shotgun shooting discipline. Any idea what a straight pull would come under? I could only see 'Break-action, Lever-action, Pump-action and Semi-automatic (where legal)'. https://www.ssaa.org.au/disciplines/all ... -shooting/. Very keen to get into practical shooting discipline but not clay shooting.
Really keen to try 3-gun courses but seems that isn't much of a thing here in AUS.
Thanks for any thoughts!

This is a dumb question but would a bolt action lever release rimfire rifle be considered 'lever action'?

Are you asking specifically about the likes of Savage A22R and CZ515 lever-release? In which case, No.
For Smallbore LAS, you have to read and understand this rule: -
3.12.7 (c) Smallbore Lever Action Silhouette Rifle: Any Lever Action rifle with a tubular magazine - the rifle shall be chambered for only the .22” calibre short, long, or long rifle cartridge.
EXCEPTION: Tubular magazine Pump and Semi-auto Rimfire rifles chambered for the .22” calibre short, long, or long rifle, may be used if allowed by legislation.
This caveat takes us back to the intent of the rifle class, i.e., see Rule 3.12., hence the tubular magazine. A BSA Ralock would fit the bill, but not a BSA Armatic.

It doesn't qualify for Lever action silhouette (pistol cartridge) either, the only discipline that allows .22WMR, direct from the SSAA rulebook:
4.2.2 Pistol Cartridge Cowboy Lever Action Silhouette: Any Lever Action rifle with a
tubular magazine. A rimmed pistol cartridge loaded with a round or flat nosed
bullet must be used, i.e. 25-20, 32-20, 38's, 357 Magnum, 38-40, 44's, 44-40, 45
Colt, 45 Long Colt, .22 Magnum, .22 long rifle.
sorry, you are stuck with a hunter and plinker.
