    Reccomended testing distances??

    Re: Reccomended testing distances?? I did some late 2012 testing with the bulk pack (525 count) 36 grain Remington Golden Bullets in one of my vintage Marlin 80DL's from 100 yards, and low and behold in that rifle it actually out shot some of my (what I considered) better ammo (Fed 510B & CCI...

    FEB 2013 SH SHORT RANGE RIMFIRE COMPETITIONS

    Re: FEB 2013 SH SHORT RANGE RIMFIRE COMPETITIONS Tony, I'm guessing you are going to shoot the 25 yard - 4 position - (25Y4P)... If so, this is the target we use, TQ3-5; Also, Top Predator has a link in the Rules where you can run copies of this target. Course of fire is; Top Left Bull...

    Expected Accuracy at 100 Yards?

    Re: Expected Accuracy at 100 Yards? Just keep at it while testing different ammo (subsonic I would suggest) to find what works best in your new .22... When you find the ammo that your rifle likes your groups will tighten up and you will have become very familiar with your new rifle, which is...

    academy 22lr price gouging

    Re: academy 22lr price gouging I think it was mid March that some .22lr ammo would be available over on the Midway USA site. I expect that in this latest craze of ammo buying, some seller's did gouge the buyer. When these ammo panic buying situations come up, it's pretty much cut-throat...

    AMMO

    Re: AMMO This latest round of panic buying is far worse then the 2008/09 panic buying, that's for sure. In the mean time until things get better and ammo is available, I'll just do more trigger time with my pellet rifles.

    hard to find .22lr ammo?

    Re: hard to find .22lr ammo? Haven't really been looking for my own benefit as I told myself I wasn't going to fall into this panic buying again like what took place in 2008 / 2009. I'm kind of seeing a replay of 2008/09 with the latest firearm issues taking place right now. Our company...

    Learnings from Rimfire Comp Thread

    Re: Learnings from Rimfire Comp Thread My grandpa won a 1929 small bore match with iron sights (aperture is my guess) that was shot at 200 yards with a .22 rim fire rifle. He was a Lt. in the Guards at the time, and was also their shooting instructor. The match he won was a 20 shot prone...

    DEC. 2012 SH Short Range Rimfire Competitions

    Re: DEC. 2012 SH Short Range Rimfire Competitions Nice shooting Clodhopper. I have to admit that I'm not a big fan of shooting when the weather gets so cold it just is not enjoyable. Teens and 20's and 10 to 20 mph wind just doesn't appeal to me. I'll get after our comps once the weather...

    Savage MKII or Marlin XT-22 as Trainer?

    Re: Savage MKII or Marlin XT-22 as Trainer? I would be inclined to go with the Savage, or better yet the Savage MKII BTV. IMHO it's the entire package less the scope. It has the stock, barrel, and proven accu-trigger, and accuracy. The Marlin XT-22 may be a fine firearm, I don't know as I...

    150yds today with my TR

    Re: 150yds today with my TR Long range with the .22,,, always fun! I've done a little testing with some cheap Federal 510B, and CCI Blazer from 200 yards on an eight inch gong and found both perform just fine. It's not until I get down to the five inch gong that I need to use the subsonic...

    .22LR keyhole??

    Re: .22LR keyhole?? I've never seen a .22lr subsonic round in 40 grains ever keyhole a target from 25 to 250 yards. However, I do understand that this can happen with the 60 grain .22lr SS Aguila as the rifling twist is not correct for this round in most (if not all) factory stocked .22lr...
