Thread: 22 LR "accuracy" ammo

My two Anschutz rifles, 1712 and a 1972 1422 (both match 54 actions) shoot all lots of Lapua Midas + I've tried into very small, virtually one hole 5 shot groups at 50m provided it is dead calm and I'm on form. Considering it's price it should do too and it's not worth the price IMHO unless you're into serious match competition. SK rifle Match isn't too bad usually around .40 at 50m and even Eley Club will consistently shoot around the same in my rifles.

Surprisingly, all the Eley Match batches I've tried didn't group particularly well in my rifles and I get better groups with HV and sub hunting ammo with the exception of the occasional flyer which seems to be the norm for most hunting .22LR ammo. Found the Eley HV HP the most accurate of the hunting ammo.

Every rifle is different of course and with .22LR ammo lot variation adds to the accuracy quest. One thing is for sure and that is 100m will show up the very good from the plain good.
