Thread: .22 sporter accuracy

Hey team,

I’ve spent a fair bit of time at the range this weekend working with a 1962 Annie 1415 .22. Being an Anschutz I expected it to be a tack driver, but after testing the 6 types of ammo I could get hold of, the average 5 shot group size is 29mm at 50m. It’s scoped with a 3-9 Tasco, and has been bedded and the crown freshly cut.
CCI Mini mag = 24mm (average of 8 groups)
Fiocchi sub = 28mm
CCI subs = 29mm
Eley HV = 30mm
Win 42 max = 33mm
Win 40gr HV = 35mm
I shot 2x 100m groups of mini mag, and got an average of 43mm

I know that it’s hunting ammo, but was hoping it would perform better than this. Should a good sporter .22 REALISTICALLY shoot tighter than this with hunting ammo? All shot from the bench with sandbags from and rear.
