I'm not shocked about federal 😂 i'd rather use a slingshot to launch the rounds

Lol I didn't think they'd be as good. I just didn't think they'd be that bad

Federal rimfire really sucks I find. All the federal I've ever shot in ANY of my 22s is super inconsistent, lots of failures to fire vs other brands. I regret it every time I buy it and think "it'll be better this time!"

Weirdly I found Hornady Critical Duty the most accurate with my testing, you should try it out too

Interesting. Those are 45gr bullets?

Yup! 45gr and they have a polymer filler for the hollow point, they market it as self defence ammo for 22mag handguns

Nice grouping!

Remington group looks fantastic! Way to go man!

I love my 457. Thinking about upgrade to the mtr version.

Thanks. I used the lead sled. Felt like cheating but a great way to sight in or test ammo. Only took it out a few times but everything I heard about CZ is true. What a great rifle
