The 50 at 200 yds posts, is interesting, same for 22 WMR he did........but what relevance is it to me shooting 99% at 100 yds and under, IDK. Just illustrates the consistency of the ammo. If you shoot enough 3 shot groups with most "junk" ammo, eventually you'll get one tight group. But by extending the target to 200 yards, and shooting 50 round groups.. you'll find out pretty quickly if that ammo has any inconsistencies. Whether or not that's relevant to you at 50 or 100 yards is up to you That really is the value of the test. Showing which ones were most consistent. I am still shocked by the velocity spread on some loads. I'd really like to see tests where the shooters buy a brick and sort by weight and appearance. I wonder what that would do.

No doubt you can see trends....and perhaps use to 'extrapolate' info. Yes Paul, Shocking was the word for me as well. Now sorting....who has time for that? Remember the good old days, buy a $10 brick of Fed Lightning and off you go! Lol.

or say you shoot anything other than a 10-22 or CZ bolt action rifle or hunt anything other than tree squirrels.....

Go over there and say how good your rifle shoots with Remington Golden Bullets.......
or say you shoot anything other than a 10-22 or CZ. or hunt anything other than tree squirrels..... Laughable, at best. I've found there are some of the most knowledgeable people I've ever met on collecting rifles of all makes, identification of models of different rifles, dating , slight model variations, values, ammo information, and whatever you want to talk about... I think if you go over there with an attitude they won't give you the time of day- which should probably be expected.
Never underestimate your ability to overestimate your ability.

Varmint Guy,
Exactly right ! On all accounts.
There can be found a bit of info from the " Clique" the flinty old "Know it all Basturds" ....but don't try to contribute if you ain't one of the Nazi mods' favotites.
Especially the nazi Sophia.
Good place for those that can keep their opinions in their gullet .
I reckon it is alot like kicking through a garbage dump ....you will probably find something.
I don't know much about firearms .....but what little I do know did not come from RFC.
What the hell good is a gun forum that does NOT SUPPORT the 2ND AMENDMENT??????

I find it interesting that such opinions are shared about Rimfire Central. That forum is deeply eroded by a "clique" of Admin Favorites. Frankly, it's a forum that could have been good but has been converted to absolute trash. The way they treat newcomers is completely inexcusable. There is a handful of members who behave like complete a**holes. They are totally and completely enabled by Sophia, the Chief Administrator.

"Again, this is all fact. Think about it. Be careful WHAT you post and WHERE you post it. ALSO remember: Just because it's on a forum does not make it factual, except for this post right here."  As a previous poster said . . . .laughable. More than a few "issues" at play here . . . . . Somebody got there butt hurt at Rimfire Central. If HPC1989 thinks this place is a place he won't get his balz busted, he's gonna get an education. Let's hope so.

Well back to original topic, I’ve been an active member there for some time now. I’ve gotten answers when I needed them and I’ve learned a ton from there as well as here on the fire. I try to ignore the critically ignorant in both places.

I just realized this thread was already a year old and I couldn’t figure out why I hadn’t seen it back last spring. Then I realized while this thread was originally going on, I was laying on a slab in a coma for three weeks. Sorry I came late to the party.

My issue with RFC is a minor one. I can't log in. I was a member for a bunch of years, now when I try to log in my old password doesn't work, and requests for a password change go unanswered. Been like that for a couple years now, so I've given up trying and merely lurk.

No Cooper 57M, it's a matter of truth. The form is "ran" by a handful of toxic people.

I just registered on rimfirecentral.com. For whatever reason every time I try to log on it won;t let me. Are any of you guys registered there, and would have any ideas why I can't get logged on. Did you get it figured out?

It was my email blocking the forums emails, like they did with Gunbroker emails.
