There are a ton of wallet groups out there.
The best results from a range session.
I prefer to call them "random acts of accuracy".
I like to see the results from the entire box, not just the best of the session.
I'm going to send 50 shots, might as well view the results from all 50.
Keeps things real regarding what to expect from the 22lr at extended range.
targets can look like this at 200 yards....
to this...
and when the wind and ammo quality cooperates...
German, assuming worst case, no super low ES ammo, has anyone over the years had any success trying to set a tuner to focus the positive compensation at 300 yds as a work-around ? Or a radically reverse-tapered bbl to attempt same ? SeymourYep, that's what we've mentioned many times in different threads over the years with 22LR. The extreme spread of the velocity, assuming your wind call is correct, is the largest factor that you simply cannot control.
That's why I was hoping the 'ELR' ammo figured this out and cut this down.
That’s obviously a rhetorical question as it is known that competition shooters in specific distance benchrest disciplines have properly applied positive compensation with great success. However, this is not a great answer for disciplines wherein the distances vary considerably and often during a single stage.German, assuming worst case, no super low ES ammo, has anyone over the years had any success trying to set a tuner to focus the positive compensation at 300 yds as a work-around ?

Lash, you assume a lot. The question was specific. History of tuners is common knowledge.That’s obviously a rhetorical question as it is known that competition shooters in specific distance benchrest disciplines have properly applied positive compensation with great success.

So, lay it on me then. What about those two questions were specific to German’s question? What in the world does a 300 yard tuned positive compensation have to do with finding a good quality ELR ammo that is usable for distances other than 300?Lash, you assume a lot.

. German made a statement, not a question. Do you agree ? From the “ that you simply cannot control” part, it seems to me that suggests he might know of folks who had tried and failed to find any joy with the tuner/ positive compensation bit at 300 yds. Useful to know before embarking on that quest, if so. No challenge implied. It is comical that you misconstrue this sufficiently to necessitate a rush to his defense. As to what I know or Should know, the fact is, at 200-300 and beyond, I don’t Know.So, lay it on me then. What about those two questions were specific to German’s question?

And just how were your two questions above not rhetorical, considering you already knew (or at least should know) the answers to them?
First, I wasn’t “defending” German as there was no need, nor does he require any help were there such need. My response had more to do with your asking a question that seemed rhetorical as you seemed to imply that there was an implicit answer. Obviously I gave you too much credit..

Let’s leave it at that. No harm/no foulFirst, I wasn’t “defending” German as there was no need, nor does he require any help were there such need.

Secondly, you obviously assume that you understand what you are talking about, but have lost me. I’m glad that you enjoyed the comedy of the situation as it is just not sufficiently important enough for me to continue responding.
Carry on.
I’ve found Eley Tenex to perform well out to 500 yards with my V-22’s. I have a video of hitting a 12” steel plate 10 for 10 at 400 yards, but I can’t get the video to load with my slow internet connection here.Curious as to what ammo is showing promise in the ELR game?
Doubting the EPS bullet stands up well at LR.

That's what I've been hoping to hear from someone with extended-range experience with the Eley EPS round. I'd been shooting Lapua Polar Biathlon because of its performance at 200-300, but more testing of the lot of Polar that I have has shown it's got a pretty lousy ES, while some lot samples of Eley Match EPS is showing far better ES/SD, and with slightly higher avg vel than Polar, is requiring a half mil less elevation than SK Rifle Match & Lapua Center-X at 200yds. I've got a 60 MOA rail on a V-22 Kukri, and have been wanting to test to see how far out I can get on internal elevation of the Athlon Cronus scope on that rifle - only problem is, my backstop & steel targets are still buried in snow, so I haven't been able to get out past 210yds to date.
I'm not crazy about having to use $16+/box ammo for the few 300yd shots we have in our current 22RF precision rifle matches, and there's always the chance that our match director could put a price-per-box ammo limit in the match program, and I wouldn't bitch about it if he did. I'm still thinking that lot testing with SK Flatnose, Sport Biathlon, & probably Lapua Center-X will turn up some ammo that's plenty good enough to be competitive at 300yds & beyond.
