Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Accurate 22 long rifle ammo for Rem 541T?

Good afternoon Dwayne,
All seems to be going great in BC for you.
Like you, I'm always looking for the Holy Grail of rimfire accuracy without costing an arm and a leg.
Hence the reason CCI of any sort is not in my ammo box. Recently because of all the hoopla over how
well it shoots I bought some CCI SV to try out again. Unfortunately my rifles showed it to be mediocre, ie Minute of Berm.
A while back I decided to shoot a 50 rd box at a target just to see how well they would do. My first mistake was centering on the
bullseye and after 10 rounds I had to guess at the center. I ended up shooting 45 rounds but I can't remember if they were RWS Subsonic or
Norma Subsonic. The rifle was a Kimber HS in a Varmint stock with a 6X scope. That target is below.




On another day when proving a point to someone, I cleaned the barrel of a custom Rem. and a Sako Quad. I shot 5 rounds per target of Wolf MT and compared the 2 rifles. The Sako was wearing an 8-24 scope and the Rem. a 6X. That scope power of course was the issue. Like the target above, these were shot at 50yds.
Below is that target. This type of grouping is what I expect out of my rimfires at 50yds. Anything other than that is not of any interest to me.



So I certainly understand your chasing the elusive 10 rounds in a ragged hole at 50yds...............with a repeater, and I should add, a Sporter weight.
