I have some more 22 ammo to test in the weekend.
Looking to mainly do some velocity & es testing first just for the info.

Will get some more accuracy testing & tuner settings done inside when I get the chance.
Then it will be interesting to see how they go at 50, 100 & 200, need some great conditions for that though :D
None of that ammo I can afford!

The standard plus is pretty cheap AndyQuote:

Whats the top right ammo ?
Its Eley Black MatchQuote:

years back we used AUSSIE AMMO and Ive never seen it since,it was a semi hollow point,eg it just had a dimple in the nose,plurry awesome round on possoms or goats.... the flat nose stuff caught my eye too John....it should hit rather hard.
A terrible EVIL thing to have that much ammunition in your possession, @Kiwi Greg...
:D you can't see the boxes they came in :thumbsup:Quote:

Also Lapua Pistol King shot really well in my rifles , it would be interesting to know if there is powder differences between Pistol and rifle ammo ?
IIRC, the Rifle, flat nose & pistol match, had the same velocities in a previous test.Quote:

Interestingly Litz has the round nose rifle match G1 BC at 0.122...bit of a difference....
Time will tell :)
The Claw has been doing some accuracy testing at 100-200 metres with some outstanding results with most of the ammo you have got shown I think?
Some of that ammo isn't readily available here :)Quote:

worst ever : remington

then winchester
cci stood above the rest for clean burn and consistency
i have used eley etc but never target nested it or burned a few powders to see how much "tar" it left behind
When I was competing the “ Big Dogs “ mostly used Eley Black box ammo and had special chamber reamers to suit it .
My rifle seemed to prefer the Lapua / SK line of ammo which suited me because of the greater selection, with the Harrel barrel tuner dialed in accuracy was superb.......... but then the wind started to blow :)
Rimfire accuracy is an absolute mind bender with many emotional highs and lows .
Interested to see the velocity results Greg. Tested a shit load of some of the best names out there through my CZ Varmint and that Eley Black match came out trumps. Literally 5 shots through the same hole at 50y. Only really shoot CCI std velocity through it now though as it shoots small ragged single hole groups.. at half the cost per brick its a no brainier for my rifles 90% bunny busting purpose.
Shooting a benchrest 22 at 50 metres outside is a truly humbling experience, flags & all.......:pissed off::oQuote:

So true, just when I think I've cracked it, I can't repeat my results.Quote:

Just bought a small brick of those two days ago... you have filled me with advance confidence.Quote:

Makes sense for longer range, the supersonics may have gone through (or be in) the transonic wobble by the time they reach the target, with a resulting drop in accuracy.Quote:

I thought that I might use subsonic for close range and supersonic for longer range, but having two points of aim is confusing. Also, I never got adequate accuracy with the supersonics at long range and fiddling around with 22LR rounds at night was impractical.
I've come to the same conclusion. If you do have enough money for two rifles the 17hmr should p**s all over the supersonic 22LR. I haven't even fired supersonic ammo through my new 22.
I did get better killing from the supersonic (winch powerpoint) than their subsonic. Just that bit easier to connect well I think.
I was fortunate that my old norinco would shoot subsonic with suppressor to 25 HD zero on the same sight setting that put the PowerPoint without suppressor bang on a 50. Very convenient.
I use CCI velocitor a bit when hunting hares over open ground,will post a photo tomorrow of how it groups in my Brno,the CCI subs are my go to for most small game though.
Huge subsonic SK Gold box fan, but even their cheap "magazine" ammo is outstanding at 100 yds through a 10" Anshultz pistol. A bit greasy so might gum up semi-autos after a while but bloody accurate.
The old gold box Std+ is much better than my new yellow box Std +Quote:

Old days shooting comps, eley tenex (red box) was the bees knees. Eley match (black) was next. Shooting a anshultz 1913. Was a good Wednesday made barrel and action though - the factory test card was 1 hole... the shooter let that rifle down......
Now days, ruger 10/22, cci subs, rough 1 hole groups at 50, and only slightly bigger at 100 if the nut behind the trigger does their job. Need to try some eley to compare....
Winchester subs, power point, - crap.
However Winchester subs are great from daughters savage rascal. Cci subs not so great
Goes to prove, rifles can prefer some ammo.
