I got a little group therapy in this weekend with my 22 long rifle built by S&S precision in Denton, Texas. To 18 shot groups at 300 yards. I think it will work.

Very nice! I guess that's what you can expect when you get the best 22 ammo. I'm not spending that kind of money on it. I'm cheap, SK is all I shoot haha. My groups are about 2-3x that at 300 yards with SK. It's ok tho, $20-25/50 rounds of 22 is insane to me. This is about average at 300 for my CZ457/Bartlein with a light breeze...

That looks pretty good too. I have shot SK long range match shoots almost as good. My problem with it is it has a ginormous flyer in it every 10 to 20 rounds. I saved the 10x for matches and shoot a lot cheaper stuff to practice with.

Scrub out all the carbon from the chamber area to see if that helps. I know people don’t like cleaning rimfire barrels but for me if I start getting fliers it’s usually because of a heavily fouled up chamber/throat.

Very good groups as is. Have you played with the tune? You group has vertical in both groups. You tuner may take out some of that vertical. Try just a mark or two at a time, each way, and see if it changes

That was the best tune at 100 yds. I did not have time to play with the tune at 300. Next time I have a decent day I will.
 
I have no access to a 300 yard range. :(

But based on results at 50, 100 and 200 yards,
I can extrapolate what to expect from competition 22lr and a match capable rifle.
50 shots at a single aimpoint under optimum conditions.

50 yards 0.3 inches of spread
100 yards 1 inch of spread
200 yards 3 inches of spread
300 yards 5 inches of spread
400 yards 9 inches of spread

Yeah, like I'm ever gonna see optimum conditions
and cartridges capable of that level of consisitency. ;)

Try a tuner. I think they are sacrilegious in most cases but for 22 LR your options are limited
 
Ben, the best 50 shot group at 200 yards was accomplished with a tuner, 3 inches.
Custom benchrest rifle and lot tested Eley Match off a mechanical rest and rear bag.
I doubt anyone can improve on that using 22lr.

Well shiiiit, that explains it. Using top tier ammo, I'd expect that. I need to try some top tier out of my CZ457/Bartlein. All I've shot so far is a few types of SK and CCI SV. I have a hard time paying $20-25 a box for 22s haha.

You need to buy it from Killough's...it's only $19.50😉

Looking forward to seeing your 300 yard results as well as 200 yard 6x5🤣
