Thread: Fun with 22s - wee ammo test

Second equal and third was the trusty cci standard. It was well ahead of
Most of the Match ammo tested including rws club and sk and others.

Yeah - 22 accuracy is more related to good luck with batches or lots of ammo. I went back out with some CCI I have here and shot the following target - all t10 shot groups at 48M.



This target highlights the batch issue, I gave away the rest of the brick of the CCI target cause it was crap, and the very old CCI HP is better but still nearly twice the group size of an excellent batch of S&B subsonic hp (which isn't usually up to much).

One very interesting thing is the harmonic which is causing the vertical stringing with the new box CCI versus horizontal stringing with the older CCI hp.
