Do you guys do 50 yards or 100?
50 yards is pretty even (1/4") but 100 yrds I had switchy winds. I did have better ES's with the Aguila

How far do you plan on shooting? You should test ammo up to that range.
I start at 50 and if it shoots well move to 100. Then (depending on the rifle and usage) go to longer ranges (200, 250, 300....)
It commonly shoots like that. Outdoors. I shoot at dawn or dusk. The rifle was selected from literally dozens of very accurate rifles with years of testing to determine accuracy.
I agree on the Norma USA 22lr ammo. Best I have ever shot @50 yd. I can’t comment at 100 or 200 yds since I have not shot any 22lr pass 50 yds.Helped a friend figure out his "heat stringing" the other day. Norma tac22 would shoot bug holes at 50 but a lot of vertical shooting at distance with any speed. Gave him a box of cci sv to try and 50yd groups were slightly larger but at 200yds it was much tighter. Repeated test with my rifle and same thing cci shot slightly worse at 50 but ALOT better at 200.

Raug fucked Prime and ran them out of business, in a nutshell.What is wrong with Norma?
This is actually a really good question because I’ve run across some interesting things here recently, I start at 50, if it’s roughly 1/2” I move it to 300 and test again, if it’s good there I stretch it out to 600. I have had some ammo shoot great at 50 yds and I’m talking sub .100” groups but not be worth a damn at 300, and some that were marginal at best at 50 that I could hit golf balls at 300 and coke cans at 600. Actually got the can this past weekend in 4 shots at 600. I was using Midas+ at the time then Xact showed up on Tuesday and it’s proving to be twice as consistent out to 600. Eley target is also fantastic at ELR and only 6.99 a box which is nice. Vertical stringing will tell you everything you need to know, and it becomes blatantly obvious at 300 and 600
Midway for eley target and dope was 40.1 milsDamn what was your dope? Also where do you find eley target for 6.99?

If your gun likes Eley target, try the Wolf Match Target, made by Eley. You can get it for $47.99 a brick of 500 from ammunitionstore.com even factoring in shipping for 2 bricks it's less than $57 a brick. I'm getting the same awesome results in my ER Shaw barreled RPRimfire as I did with Eley Club.Damn what was your dope? Also where do you find eley target for 6.99?
I've typically done 50m, but will likely do 100m for my new rifle.
The problem with testing at long distance (70m+) is the wind starts too effect the bullet so much that trying to test differences in ammo becomes worthless.
Unless you can shoot on a 100% windless day, you will drive yourself crazy with long distance groups.
Not so much, the main thing you are looking for is vertical dispersion, and anything with a high Es in velocity will show up fast at ranges of 300yds. Learning drift at that range is another thing all in it’s self but it becomes pretty easy to tell which ones are studs and which are duds out that far.
