Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire 22 LR Zero’d @ 100 yards.

Beaver10;
Good evening to you my cyber friend, I hope the weekend was a good one for you all and this finds you well.

On another forum I'm on, a fellow from up north was muttering that his rebarreled CZ 452 was getting tighter groups at 100yds than his new 6.5PRC build and no, that didn't make him pleased one little bit.

While I do a wee bit of shooting with .22's at 100yds, usually I'll test ammo at 25yds with 10 shot groups to see what the dispersion looks like there.

Then with some of them I'll stretch it with paper out to 50 next and sometimes 100yds, but honestly usually I prefer to take the good grouping stuff out as far as the wind will allow me on that day. Ponderosa Pine cones are a great reactive and biodegradable target.

I'm sure you know that even good .22's can be ammunition sensitive, here's one of the initial test runs on a Tikka T1X I ran.



This was another day with the Tikka and a CZ No 5



Anyways sir, I'm not sure that was super helpful, but it does illustrate ammo preferences for sure in a couple different rifles.

Good luck with your testing and Merry Christmas to you all.
