    I don’t have group pics at 200 but the federal still did better than the Eley. SK did a little better than federal maybe at 200. SK did almost as good as the Federal at 50. I was wrong on the SD. SK had the SD under 5 and Eley was 10 something. Federal was 21 something.

    Second group was Federal. The rest was Eley. I wasn’t even gonna try the federal, just had it to use to get an initial zero.

    Well I’m not the one asking the questions here for one thing. And when the better match ammo I tested can’t even hold a 3/4” group at 50 but bulk federal punches one hole less than half an inch at 50 I would say that’s a pretty good indication. This was done with four 5 shot groups and then the...

    As far as group size vs wind reading and rifle manipulation that’s fine, but when I’m testing out ammo in a rifle I for sure want as good performance as I can get in group size. That’s the point in testing different ammo.

    Well the 2 moa at 200 wasn’t the group size either, just the plate size. I usually keep a 2” plate at 200 as well but it went flying off after I had shot it with my 6.5 the other day and I haven’t replaced it yet. I also shot them all side by side as best as I could on a 12” plate at 200 and...

    Not sure about everyone else but I don’t pay near as much attention to SD’s with rimfire. I shoot it, get my velocity, check groups out to distance. The Federal I’m shooting has an SD in the mid 20’s and it did better for me than the Eley I was shooting with an SD under 5 was but the Eley...

    I use Federal Automatch. I just tested out different ammo in my new CZ MTR last week and it actually was the best out of that rifle compared to Eley, SK, Wolf, and RWS. SD wasn’t the best but it grouped well out to 200 yards.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns I think I want a new range belt but don't know which one

    I have an HSGI and a G-Code Scorpion. I’ve had both for about 6 years now. I had to slightly modify the HSGI one to work with my g code inner belt as the Velcro was the opposite inside the HSGI from what I needed. Both are nice but the g code is the better of the two.

    Rifle Scopes PRS/NRL22 scopes

    Just pick one and spend some time learning it. Watch some YouTube videos on it if you need to. They’re pretty easy to use once you understand what you’re doing on one.

    Best Sub $750 optic for target and varmint - 2025

    I love the 5-25x Strike Eagle. I have a few gen1 PST’s an Athlon Ares BTR gen2 and a Leupold Mk3hd and the Strike Eagle is my favorite. Clear bright glass, big image, good features, tracks well, great reticle. Farthest I have used it out to is about 547 yards so far and it did well. It’s not...

    CZ 457

    I’ve had it on an RPR rimfire for several years and it does well. I’m ready to upgrade it though.

    CZ 457

    Tested out some different ammo today. Best groups came from Federal Auto Match making one hole at 50 yards. Then shot it at a 4” plate I have at 200 yards. I’m not adding or changing anything except a cheek riser and an arca rail and change the scope out. Gonna use it as a base class rifle in...
