    Anyone tried the sk or lapua ammo available from Belmont? I have bought some sk magazine ammo as it was cheap but I'm refinishing the stock so my 22 is out of action. Hence not testing it yet

    Yep, bought a case (5000 rounds) of the SK rifle match for cheap practice compared to my centrefire. Averaged just on 0.5" at 50m for 9 x 10 shot groups. Tenex was the best in my 22LR but it's also 2.5 times the cost of SK... Around 0.3" at 50m for 5 x 10 shot groups.

    If it's not a first round hit you need to practice more

    Guys, be aware that your favourite .22 RF rifle will likely prefer one brand of ammo in terms of accuracy, than most others. Buy a range of .22 ammo brands and get out to the range and test them. It will pay dividends. I have a rack full of .22RF rifles; each one has a preferred brand/weight of ammo.
