    The MP5 is sexy too. I've put about 120+ rounds through one on full auto & 3 shot burst, very accurate.
    @Mathias,

    Do you recall what sort of accuracy did you get out of the MP3 on semi-auto?

    Hi Cordite, no I don't recall actually putting many through in semi. I was more interested in 3 shot burst & full auto and I was at an indoor range in Charlotte North Carolina.
    This image is of one of my targets set at 20 yards, mostly on auto.

    No cartridge is inaccurate rifles are
    Ie 7.62x39 sks's are pretty inaccurate but other bolt action rifles can be very accurate

    The 22 Hornet has a reputation as being tempremental, thin neck on the case. They can shoot very well but?
    (Anyone shooting Bruno or CZ will disagree)
    Savage 22 Hi-Power. Again these day's the rifles are old and limited range of projectiles in 228.

    Re 22 mag
    Shop around for ammo. Mine did 9 rounds into 1.5: at 100 mtr with Remington 33 gr or Hornady 30 gr.
    or 4" groups with 3 shots of 40 gr CCI.

    I also nearly gave up on .22 mag until I tried the 30 grain hornady. Keeping an eye out for some more of it.

    The .303 cartridge isn't inherently inaccurate but the LE action/two-piece stock/bedding system is what lets it down in reality. And the hot-burning powder/corrosive primers certainly weren't great for barrel life. All in all, a very bad combo for longer term accuracy, especially if you weren't fastidious in your cleaning
