I'm working my way through the 1925 American Rifleman (24 issues) magazines and have found Eric Johnson, the barrel maker at Hoffman Arms Company who was a world class small-bore shooter competing with a "Hoffman". He started the year shooting a Hoffman-Martini and in some matches a Hoffman-Ballard. Luckily they list the equipment. On to 1926.
