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.
