Those that reload for their TRG 22, what weight of bullets does the rifle seem to prefer? do you change to a different bullet for different distances?
(X upto 500 yards, Y beyond 500)
Thanks
 
Re: TRG,,, what weight bullets?

Although I don't have a TRG, I would imagine you wouldn't be horribly off if you tried 168 or 175 SMK.. both would probably work for long and short range but I'd try the 175 after 500
 
Re: TRG,,, what weight bullets?

I use 168 Sierra, 168 Nosler and 168 AMAX. I think the AMAX are best, but everything I put through the TRG shoots sub MOA. I have hit 1/2 MOA targets at 600 yards with the 168 AMAX, so I dont see the need to change for distance.
 
Re: TRG,,, what weight bullets?

My 22 will shoot 155 thru 178 accuratly. It shoots 155's best 200-1000 and 175 SMK's from 100-200. Since I don't shoot under 300 often I use the the KISS method and use 155's exclusively.

I have had very good luck shooting 178 AMAX and 175 SMK with my TRG22. It seems to shoot just about anything well!

I use 155 Scenar for everything 100 - 1000.

Factory 167 Scenars are very accurate but I have not had cause to use them beyond 300.

Probably no huge suprise given the origin of rifle and ammo.

Re: TRG,,, what weight bullets?

I did that very test in my trg-22. I used 155,168,and 175 SMK's. I used IMR-4064 and Varget powders. At 100 and 200yrds(only 2 distances my range has) the 168's shot better, followed by 155 then 175's. I know this is pretty close range, but no group was over 3/4" at 200yrds. I do 10 shot groups for load testing. So when i visit my father in Idaho I will do the same test in his backyard range. We built a range to 900yrds.
By the way I did that same test with my FN-SPRA2,Kimber Advanced Tactical,and my Rem700P and got the same results. They also liked the 168 SMK. Hope this helps out.
