SK Rifle & LR Match Velocities

[ballisticdaddy]

This is the first time I have done any muzzle velocity testing for rimfire, was testing my CF loads so figured WTF and wanted to share. This was all done today using a LabRadar for velocities through a Vudoo with Ace / Kukri contour 16.5" barrel with just a thread protector. Was surprised at both the velocity out of this shorty barrel and just how consistent this ammo was running through this rifle. Was plinking a 3" swinger at 100 yards, next time will try to shoot groups and match the strings.

Some good numbers

Any reason why you have strings for the same ammo? Different lots?

If same box, I usually just shoot all of it in one aggregate.

How many shots in each string?

Just my usual routine, they were from the same lot.

10 shots each string

A question for the OP ... How well does the LabRadar work with the 22lr? Do you use an external mike?

velocities seemed high but at 7,400+ feet, probably right on. SD's looked good, I thought, for rimfire.

This helps. Just in front of the muzzle, offset a couple inches.

Works great in pistol mode even with subsonic ammo but when using a suppressor I use an inertia trigger.

My thought as well....on both items
