    Actual Accuracy of 22lr Premium Rifles

    Hit or miss is a binary issue. If it's a simple "hit or miss" -- one small dot or the intersection of two lines at 50 yards, for example -- it's either a yes or a no. If it's a miss, it must be a "no". A lot of shooters will do a lot of missing what they aim at. Scoring with X's, 10's...

    Actual Accuracy of 22lr Premium Rifles

    If ammo won't group well, it won't score well.

    New Lapua Long Range and Super Long Range (Announced)

    It must be as it can't be done with .22LR. Swapping bullets on 22 mag isn't new. CF 22 cal is the same diameter as .22WMR.

    New Lapua Long Range and Super Long Range (Announced)

    That's incredible. You say he puts a .22 cal centerfire bullet in a .22LR case and recrimps it. It would be revealing to see how he fits a centerfire bullet with a diameter of .224" inside a .22LR case that has a smaller inside diameter.

    Perhaps a good point. The shape of a rimfire bullet may be sufficiently phallic for the imagination of some.

    New Lapua Long Range and Super Long Range (Announced)

    No, only factory-made .22LR ammo can be used in sanctioned competion such as RFBR and 3P ISSF events. The issue is that .22LR ammo uses heeled bullets and centerfire bullets will not fit inside a .22LR casing. While the diameter of the .22LR casing and bullet are the same, the part of the...

    New Lapua Long Range and Super Long Range (Announced)

    Someone is swapping original .22LR bullets with factory Hornady 40 grain centerfire bullets similar to what's shown below? How's that possible?

    New Lapua Long Range and Super Long Range (Announced)

    Only 50 cents per round for the kind of .22LR ammo that averages 1.5" (0.5 MOA) at 300 yards? For many shooters it can be a tall order to average 0.5 MOA (1/4") five shot groups at 50 yards. At 300 yards where 0.5 MOA results are vastly more difficult, most serious shooters would pay much, much...

    Anyone heard anything on the new Lapua .22 offerings?

    A boattail bullet for .22LR seems unlikely. Match .22LR bullets (as well as those of most if not all .22LR HV and other SV ammo) is a heeled bullet with a cavity or hollow base. In Rifleman's Guide to Rimfire Ammunition, Steven Boelter explains that the hollow base "helps seal the bullet to...

    Anyone heard anything on the new Lapua .22 offerings?

    When it comes to similar ballistics, according to their respective ballistics charts the specs for SK Magazine (a lesser grade than SK Standard Plus) has the same ballistics as Lapua X-Act, perhaps the most expensive .22LR match ammo available. Beyond superficial appearances, that's where the...

    Anyone heard anything on the new Lapua .22 offerings?

    It's neither. There is absolutely no reason to believe that in terms of performance characteristics -- MV variation among them -- it can or will be any superior to existing grades of Lapua. As a Lapua-branded ammo, it's loaded on the Lapua production line, and so is not rebranded SK.

    New Lapua Long Range and Super Long Range (Announced)

    The loading machines experience ongoing parts replacement and readjustment. Each time that occurs, tolerances must be reeestablished. This, as well as the use of different lots of components -- e.g. casings, bullets, priming compound, propellant -- calls for new lot numbers for the rounds...

    New Lapua Long Range and Super Long Range (Announced)

    Based on what's said in the video, CP asks a very good question. The Capstone representative in the video is Emil Praslick, who is described online as a Capstone Precision Group's Business Development Manager. He is a former coach of the US Army Marksmanship Unit and USA National long range...

    New Lapua Long Range and Super Long Range (Announced)

    The claim for improved performance in the wind is not easy to understand. Lapua says the ballistic coefficient is the same (0.172) as that for all other Lapua and SK .22LR ammo. According to Lapua's ballistic chart, in a 13 fps (8.86 mph) crosswind, wind drift at 100 yards is only 3 inches...

    Eley Contact ammo

    How can the same .22LR ammo shoot to average the same MOA at 50 yards and at 200? Accuracy performance with .22LR is non-linear.

    MTM wind reader flags

    Indolence is alive and well. Better not get flags if they must remain on the range indefinitely. Much less expensive to use and eventually lose surveyor's tape on a stick.

    Bergara b14r first round flyer

    Sounds like every shot was a flyer. You haven't indicated under what conditions the flyers occur. Regarding a damnable (accursed) package of a new barrel for 1200, there's no guarantee that it will shoot well, is there?

    Bergara b14r first round flyer

    Are you getting the flyer from both a clean bore? Does it happen with a bore that's freshly fouled by previous shots? If it happens when the bore is clean and unfouled, that's not unusual. If it happens after the bore has had rounds go through and allowed to sit for a time, that's not unusual...

    Looking for your experiance with an ATS tuner for rimfire.

    This is a good observation. At 50 yards, two .22LR SV rounds with an MV difference of 50 fps would have about .35" of vertical dispersion between them. Tuners can't make those rounds shoot to the same POI.
