200 yards with rimfire

[264pr]

Shooting 22lr at steel plates at 300 yards is a blast

The round is moving so slow that you can literally watch/see the round being lobbed at the target and the impact with naked eye

You've got a good eye.

Switching winds throws a big wrench in 22 shooting at 200. Shoot that CCI and some center x or eley match at 200 in calm conditions and I bet the groups are way better with CX or eley.

Eley Tenex shoots better than CCI SV 100%. But $50 a brick is way easier to buy than $180.
Better ammo won't help me in gusting switching wind conditions where the best guy at the match has hits with his first 5 rounds and then the bext 5 just disappear.
With the targets getting smaller at the last few matches, more consistent and tighter shooting ammo will probably help. But is it worth an extra $30 a match? Am I going to buy 1 extra hit, or 5 extra hits? How many spots do I move up, maybe 5 or 6, maybe none?
I did shoot Tenex at the 400 yard match and got 8 hits out of 10 at 400. I don't know that CCI SV would have hit more than 3.
Maybe the targets are getting smaler and futher and it's time to step up and buy a couple bricks of Tenex and really see what I can do.... But what if it helps and then I have to buy fancy ammo all the time.... Cheaper and better than a lot of habbits other people have though.

I know the thing these days is to go beyond 200 yards with consistency and that little .22lr pill. That's a good thing!!! As for myself, I'll stick with what has worked for me at 200 yards on a 5 inch gong - rather than changing ammo / or I'll just move up to a 6 or 7 inch gong at 200 yards and continue the fun... I'm awful close to passing that midway point in my 60's - so it doesn't take much to entertain me on the Range anymore. LOL!!!

Tenex might not be worth it. Eley match or the lower grade eley stuff will probably notably outshoot CCI.

The Lapua looks pretty consistent…
