Get out and hit the range!

I know folks have been pretty built up over the recent announcements, sometimes we gotta just put that down for a minute and hit the range!

It's ammo testing day for me!

Nice shooting what ammo had the best groups for you? What barrel and scope you got on that rig?

I've got the a Volquartsen 18.5 inch snake fluted barrel on it; it's been pretty good.

Scope is a 3-15 vortex viper (taken from a safe queen now); some random vortex rings I had kicking around as well.

The best groups were Eley Benchrest semi-auto and Eley Team. Eley Club was pretty close too but I had a few flyers (It's definitely just me pulling it, the rifle is not to blame). CCI SV wasn't bad, I didn't notice a huge change from CCI SV and CCI green tag, I'm convinced green tag is just a marketing scam at this point.

S&B Match was decent but I'm not buying anymore of it for two reasons, it's cheap as hell but also super dirty and I'm not going to support CZ/Colt moving forward.

Next week I'm gonna try some RWS in it.

All of this was shot at 50y, I had similar results at the 100y as well. The Eley Force stops working as well at 100y though from what I've seen.

That’s a sweet rifle ya I was getting good groups out of cci sv in my 10/22 build I can’t bring myself to buy 13$ boxes .22 but could get my groups down to .26” at 50m and was happy with that

Still cheaper then feeding some of my centre-fire options (6.5 CM hurts my wallet).

If your rifle likes the CCI SV, try Eley Club. It's cheap but I find the performance was just a smidge tighter, but that's only off of like, 200ish rounds from each.
