.22 LR Ammo Test - Henry Lever Action

[u/EastRidgeOutdoors]

I tested four different .22 LR rounds in my Henry Lever Action to see which one it preferred.

Test setup

• Distance: 50 yards
• Front rest and rear bag
• 10-shot groups

Ammunition tested

• CCI Blazer (included because it won my bulk ammo test)
• CCI Mini-Mag
• Eley Club
• Eley Force

I was starting to lose hope in the Henry at 50 yards until I tried out the Eley Force

Even with premium ammo it's still cheaper than centerfire. In the $75 to $150 / brick range are a lot of choices for really really good ammo.

Yeah, bulk ammo is not going to perform outside of 50m typically.

But when you start pushing 200m+ with a 22 buying good ammo is worth it. That or doing speed shooting like uspsa steel challenge where reliability is most important.
