My Brno M2 yesterday off a wonky alluminium table. Measured 54 meters. Fairly sure I pulled the shot just out of the main group. I had been having trouble with the group size and a few flidrs. After a bit of experimenting a little pressure point under the barrel near the forend seems to have done the trick.

Another good game if your a smoker with a 22 we used to play in the paddocks was sit your own smokes on top of a post and try to open the pack flip top type . More fun than shooting empty cans but normally after you had emptied a few
rule 1 only shoot at your own smokes
rule 2 you could only have a smoke when you open the pack
dont know i could do that now the cost of smokes then was 40 c a pack

My first ever .22LR sub-MoA group at 100m - very impressed.

Eley Edge five rounds into 26.8mm at 101m.
Ruger American Compact in MDT LSS-22 chassis.

The other surprise was CCI Velocitors. Ten rounds grouped 20.5mm high but 64.7mm wide. I'm hoping that was due to the wind picking up toward the end of the group. Definitely going to do more testing with those.

Eley Edge is the most accurate I've found in my Ruger so far, but I only took ten rounds out just to see how far point-of-aim shifted swapping the action into the new chassis. A five-shot group to start and another to finish the test. The first group was a decent 52.7mm, but 44mm low and 79mm left from where I had it zeroed last week in the original stock.
Before any scope adjustment I dropped three ten-round groups on the same PoA to see where they were shooting compared to the Eley Edge.
CCI Std was 62mm low and 3mm left.
CCI Subsonic Seg. HP was 16mm low and 21mm left.
Velocitor was 70mm high and 10mm left.
I expected the Velocitor to shoot high, but I was very surprised that the CCI Std Vel dropped 2MoA below the Eley Edge.

I only tried a few types today just to get a feel for whether accuracy is improved with the new chassis.
Best groups:
Eley Edge (40gn 1085fps) 5rds 26.8mm
Eley Club (40gn 1085fps) 10rds 52.0mm
CCI Velocitor (40gn 1435fps) 10rds 64.7mm
CCI Standard Velocity (40gn 1070fps) 10rds 68.7mm
CCI Subsonic Segmented HP (40gn 1050fps) 10rds 73.1mm
Remington Cyclone (36gn 1280fps) 10rds 74.4mm
Remington Target (40gn 1150fps) 10rds 92.1mm
Eley Match (40gn 1085fps) 10rds 92.2mm

It's a Redfield Revolution 3-9x40, but I don't recommend it, particularly on a rimfire as it doesn't focus much under 50m.

Blade, i find velocitors a great little round for hunting out to 70-80m and is tight as at 50m in my T-bolt, but try grouping at 100m and they are completely useless.

PS: well done getting the sub MOA group. Good stuff at 100m! :drinks: :thumbsup:

That's about what I'd expected, having seen similar from other high-velocity stuff past about 70m.
Which is why I was so surprised by the group the Velocitors shot.
Way too windy today for any worthwhile testing :-(

Took a trip to St Marys indoor center last week. Been shooting at Syndey International Center on a digital screen lately but its better to back to paper....
I shoot SK magazine only loading 5 in magazine, Ruger American with lightened trigger, 3-9 40 scope, bipod with no rear bag.
Next week is 6-24 50 scope and front rear bags.


Both groups were best of night 5 group sets at 50mtrs....

What range are they at?
I have shot some 200m groups but haven't had any totally windless opportunities. Even a constant wind would be good rather than the normal gusts we have here.
Groups of ten are holding around the 5" mark at 200m with the ammo I've tried so far. 1085fps Eley is dropping about 1220mm (20MoA) from a 100m zero. I finally swapped a Bushnell AR onto the Ruger Rimfire to get rid of the Redfield Revolution and I shimmed the rear so a subsonic 100m zero puts the turret near minimum elevation. This gives me about 90 clicks of elevation, about 22.5MoA, so I can now dial the scope right on out to 200m, plus I still have the BDC reticle for another 15MoA which should be very close at 270m with subsonic ammo. I'm waiting for a brick of Eley Edge to come in hopefully today.

Re: Show us your Rimfire Groups!

Had a very good day with only some light breezes for a change.
I shot ten-round groups with 21 types of ammo today at 100m, after swapping the Redfield Revolution 3-9x40 for the Bushnell AR Optics 4.5-18x40.
All 21 groups were shot with no scope adjustment at the centre of each target, except for the CCI Quiet (600mm holdover - the top row of tape) and the Shorts (aimed at the target to the left).
In order from smallest to largest group:
Eley Club - 37.5mm
RWS Rifle Match - 53mm
Eley Subsonic HP - 56mm
CCI Subsonic Segmented HP - 58.6mm
RWS HVHP - 67mm
Highland RX HP - 68mm
Remington Cyclone - 68.2mm
CCI Stinger - 74mm
CCI Standard Velocity - 75mm
Winchester Subsonic Max 42 - 79mm
Federal American Eagle HP - 79mm
CCI Velocitor - 87mm
CCI MiniMag HP - 96.8mm
Sellier & Bellot Standard - 100mm (I shot these during the week)
Remington Subsonic-22 - 102mm
Winchester PowerPoint 42 - 103mm
Winchester T22 - 139mm
CCI Quiet Segmented HP - 147mm (600mm drop)
Winchester Super-X Short - 148mm (140mm to the right)
ICI Civic Long - Approx. 300mm
Winchester Long-Z - Approx. 300mm
CCI Copper-22 - Approx. 600mm (sprayed everywhere)

After shooting the groups, I zeroed the scope to the CCI Standard Velocity and put five rounds on a target - dropping them into 18.4mm!!!!!!
Then I removed the scope and replaced it before dropping five more rounds on the target below it to see how far zero would move. The first three rounds dropped into a lovely 16mm triangle, but 28mm away at five-o'clock. The next two drifted upward opening the group to 50.8mm but bringing point of impact back to where it was.

The Copper-22's were a disaster. I'm guessing they might work better in an unlubed bore, which would probably dictate _only_ using poly bullets in it. Complete waste of money for me unfortunately. Surprisingly, I recovered two of these bullets from the clay bank, completely undeformed so I can't imagine them being a very effective hunting round. I'll try these again at closer ranges and see if perhaps they shoot better.

I'll restock with some more types and hopefully test shoot some more next week.

I tried out some new ammo yesterday in my CZ452 Varmint.
RWS Subsonic HP
Distance was 50 meters
Wind...15kph across the range and a shower of rain.
Shows some promise for better accuracy in prefect conditions.

Its my first time using the RWS brand. I don't see it very often in our local gun shops.

Hey,

Not really groups.. but I was getting reacquainted with my Lithgow Crossover LA101 as I have been shooting pistols for a bit.

This was my third target for the night and my first shot of the string.

Sh***t, I'll post a piccy if I can find the target, my best group with the LA101 was under 1/4 in at 50 meters, I know this may not be the best in the world but god I was proud of myself. Shot with SK Rifle Match.

Some of the "measured" groups on here need to be re-measured correctly.
Some pretty small numbers there for groups which are clearly not that small. :allegedly:
Have a look at Presson's post above for how to measure a group.
Maximum outside measurement minus bullet diameter = group size.
You're only kidding yourself by not doing this. :drinks:

Yep. I use calipers and zero them on a bullet before measuring to outer edges of the widest two shots in the group.

Bloody fliers!

Quite happy with the aggregate groups of the four rounds into each corner mark, though!

9 rounds on each card, 5 at center, one round into each corner mark.

Browing T-bolt 22lr, 4-12x44 Vortex Diamondback AO. CCI Velocitor.
Groups shot while tuning action screws so i keep them on a pin board for reference.

The "Clubs" was 4 rounds into 0.18 and the the flier blew it out. :thumbsdown:
