Anschutz 1710 D HB long term ammo test

[SHV]

got the special deal, 700 dollars less than RRP (not sure if it's still available), went to St Mary's twice, tried two ammo, Lapua standard club, 65 dollars per 500 rounds
and CCI standard velocity 45 dollars per brick, both not bad, will try others soon

first time Lapua standard club, 5 shots group, the best one

lapua standard club is a little better than CCI standard velocity I reckon but not much, maybe use CCI for practise is good enough

What distance are all these targets shot at...??? 25, 50 metres or what...???

If you want super accuracy and consistant accuracy then try some specific target ammo like Lapua Center-X, Elley Black and so on. They will cost a heap more but are far better for consistant accuracy.

Lapua Center-X in my Brno Model 2 produces one hole groups just about every time at 50 metres but more important to me produce tiny groups at 200 Yards which is what I wanted them for to use in 200 Yard State Competition Fly Target. Factory rifle, factory barrel from 1965.

For shooting bunnies I use Winchester Power Points, the old version.

Two purposes, two different types of ammo.

BTW... For competition target I also sort my rounds by rim thickness which for me has minimised any possible flyers. Weight sorting is another idea to try. It's that flyer that destroys a group and good score.

Nice rifle and groups, pics look familiar though

all at 50 meters

thanks a lot, I'll try those expensive ammo later

and try 100m and 150m, for me it's not easy though, the only place to shot 100m and 150m is Silverdale (or hornsby) in Syd?

It is a very nice looking rifle and great to see you put decent optics on it.

Pity you are restricted on the range distance you can use but the advantage I think you have is to be able to test inside away from the effects of wind. I forget that other people are restricted unlike myself living on a rural property where I can pick my distance even from virtually my front door.

I'm sure you are aware that virtually every rimfire will like a certain breed/type/weight ammo better than another but the thing is to find that one that works the best. I know I have tried heaps in the past even high quality target ammo to find the most accurate and the moast accurate/consistant wasn't always the most expensive. It varied quite a bit from like 7-30 dollars a box of 50 to trial. I started with a box of everything I could find and initially Eley Match (Black Box) was the best and also the most expensive. Then a friend gave me a box of Lapua Center-X which I found to be just as good if not better and it was near half the price.

I really had a lot of fun testing each type. During my testing I cleaned the barrel each time I tried a different manufacturer which means a different wax coating, it does mean I found it took quite a few rounds to settle the bore down again so I tested all the same wax coatings at the same time...ie all the Lapua types then a clean and tested all the Eley types etc.

My next testing will be with high velocity Lapua ammo to see if I can stick with Lapua for target and bunny busting hence not needing to clean out the different wax. I don't clean my .22LR unless I have to.

I'm sure you will get a lot of pleasure from the Anschutz.

thanks a lot, I hope I have a farm, that's my dream

each time try one ammo (wax) and clean the barrel is a very good point, testing the ammo not need hurry

got the special deal, 700 dollars less than RRP

Is that the fell off a back of a truck special?

Jokes obviously

Great deal for an Annie.
