patience and practice mate . one of the reasons 22lr is a good thing. lots of practice to develope technique for not a lot of dollars on ammo, factory ammo choice is a big variable. been sorting my old krico 22 hornet. hornady ammo shoots 50 to 70 percent better than other brands. norma ammo in my 22-250 and 6.5x55 shoots awesome. try to find a box of premium european tikka, norma or american hornady and see how it shoots. winchester and remington ammo doesn't work for me. federal ammo is pretty consistant. what brand of ammo were you shooting mate ?

Try some 80 grain Berger target VLD., I have had some very respectable groups using them.
