History of Centennial Arms Corporation:
Centennial Arms Corporation for founded by Sigmund “Sig” Shore in 1959, who owned Shore Galleries an auction company, which grew into a corporation in the 1960s selling antique firearms, then due to demand, started selling antique firearm replicas, the first being an 1860 Army Colt produced in Belgian.
The address for the company was Lincolnwood, Illinois 06645 and 3318 W. Devon, Chicago, Illinois, 60645, which is the address of Shore Galleries today.
Shore galleries is still opened however for some reason declined to offer any more information on the Centennial Arms Corporation history than the above, which is from internet searches.
It appears a Mr. Sigmund Shore of Lincolnwood (Chicago), Illinois pasted away in 2004, we could not verify it is the same person. History of the .22-250 Remington cartridge:
The 22-250 Remington began as a wildcat by necking down the250-3000 Savage (also called the250 Savage) to .22″ caliber, by Harvey Donaldson in 1934.
The 250 Savage was designed by Charles Newton in 1915 and named it the 250-3000 because it was a 25 (250) caliber, and would go 3,000 Feet per Second.
Somehow Remington got the rights to the design and started production under the 22-250 Remington label and introduced it to the public in 1965.
I personally load and shoot this caliber and it is a great cartridge and easily produces 4,000 + Feet per Second velocities with 45 to 55 grain projectiles.
It is one of the best all round varmint cartridges and has outstanding accuracy.
