Thread: 22lr Ammo/Accuracy Testing - Eley and RWS - Pic Heavy

Now for the "Match" style ammo. All of these groups were 10x shot. This was to try and give me the best consistent and accurate results. Not sure if this is how you should do it but it's what I did.
I also notice group sizes @ 5 shots were generally quite a lot better than @ 10. Makes sense of coarse but I just thought I'd mention it.

I shot these the night the ammo turned up as patience is not a strong point of mine and the conditions got worse as I went.

First up was Eley Sport and Eley Subs.

I was not that impressed. The wind had started to pick up by this stage so I thought I'd try the premium ammo, Eley Match and R50, next before it got worse.

Faaaaaaarrrrrk. I was very frustrated after this and losing interest pretty quick. I expected better results from ammo that cost this much! But I continued and Eley Force and contact were up next.

Faaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrkkkkkkkkkkkk. I only shot 3x shots of the Force out of the 452 because it shot so bad. I was not a happy camper by this stage, toy's getting thrown everywhere (which did not help my shooting) but I pressed on. Next up Eley club and Edge.

Finally something to get a little excited about. By now the wind was quite bad so I was very happy with this. Next up was RWS Target and Geco Rifle.

Well the 1416 was starting to produce so Ok results. I still wasn't over the moon but I only had 3x types of ammo to go at this stage so I thought well I've come this far so I should finish what I started so here are the last 3x, RWS Club, Special Match and Rifle Match.

Some more good results for the 1416 given the conditions, not so much for the 452 though but given the price difference between the rifles it did seem fitting.

By this stage the wind was howling so I had to call it a night as it would just be a complete waste of ammo if I continued.

I've still got more...
