Thread: Bsa international accuracy

Well several years back I got a BSA international 22 target rifle through @gundoc and gave it a sporting make over.
Shortened the barrel and forestock and gundoc fitted a scope base.
I did a thumbhole in the stock as well.
Anyhoo my testing was very informally done in the field and while it was never the appropriate set up, I had an inkling it wasn't shooting as well as I'd like.
Never really had more of a play.
Over at my mates place this weekend and we had a proper go off his portable shooting rest etc
Brand new packet of CCI standard velocity,
Part packet (from several years back), eley subsonic and a brand new packet of the same plust a handful of CCI suppressor 45gr. The last stuff didn't really don't shoot well out of the 10/22.
Target as follows and proves what I was thinking.
But geez doesn't it like the CCI suppressor ammo.
It's basically a slightly vertical ragged hole.
Top left target. The SV and Eley were not very good at all and prove what I was thinking.
Might need to grab a couple of packets for it. Shouldve tried the old powerpoints for a go but was doing other stuff
