I did a little research of my own on this thread. Used my own M25 Marlin and Dads M783 Marlin. 5 different types from 3 brands shot into 5 shot groups at 50 yrds. Winchester Supreme H-P shot best in my M25. Just less than 1/2 inch. All others were about 1 to 1.5 inches. The CCI solids were 2nd at 1 inch. None really shined in the 783, but all were around 1 inch or a little more.<P>Get a friend with a .22 mag to work with you on this. 4 boxes of shells at 8 bucks and change a pop gets expensive. I'll be using the Winchester Supreme from now on. I still have some left over to try in my cousins gun later. I'll let you know what happens when I do. Thanks to all for your help.<BR>7mm
