I know this won't count, but I finished up mounting my scope last night and took my 455 Varmint out to the range. I shot a few good groups, this one was particularly good. The covered up holes are from dialing in the scope on the bullseye.

Oh, I was just trying to show that inner circle is about half an inch. Should have stated that for the last photo, which I see is redundant now.

First range trip with a new to me Anschutz 1927F CISM. My official entry was shot with SK Long Range Match at 50 yards. Groups sizes are .221", .237", .276", .331", .227" with an average of .258". I screwed up on the first group and forgot to dial below the bull, that's why there's a different POI for the center group.
I brought a variety of ammo to try out. The conclusion I came to is that I probably can't shoot this rifle well enough to really compare ammunition types. Just as an example I shot another target at 50 yards with the 5 other kinds of ammo I had with me. This also completed the challenge although not quite as well as the Long Range Match, which could just be me shooting one target better than the other. This is easily the least picky rimfire rifle I've ever owned.

Nicely done. As you test ammo with your incredibly nice rifle, keep in mind that different lots of the same variety of ammo can give you different results. Sometimes it seems it can even be challenging to reproduce the same results from one day to the next.
I've read a couple of reports where a variety of .22 ammo was put through a Win M52 with a record of accuracy. Cheap stuff, premium brands, whatever.
He even had selected loose bullet rds of each and shot them separately.
Some of the bulk cheap stuff gave best accuracy. The loose bullet rds shot the same as the tight bullet rds.
He said it was like wine. If you like it, drink it. Ignore what's on the label.

If it was on the internet, it must be true. Everyone knows the cheap bulk ammo gives the best accuracy in a good rifle.
Great shooting and nice rifle. I added you to the successful list.

There have been more than a few articles in gun magazines on the topic over the years.
I don't want to take up space in this thread debating the question of whether cheap bulk ammo in fact gives the best accuracy in a good rifle or in any rifle. Just accept that it's not true and that reputable articles in gun magazines that support the contention don't exist.
Check the kinds of ammo used in this challenge. When you've counted all the cheap bulk ammo that's met the challenge you'll find it adds up to zero. It's not conclusive evidence to be sure but it should help disabuse anyone of the idea that cheap bulk .22LR ammo is accurate.
A new rifle requires a new entry. This is 6 groups as it was shot for the Sniper's Hide 6x5 thread but everything is comfortably under 0.5".
0.265", 0.198", 0.314", 0.236", 0.365", 0.339" for 6 group average of 0.286".
Rifle is an Vudoo V-22 with 18" MTU profile barrel and Trigger Tech Diamond in an MDT ACC chassis shooting Center-X. The rifle is positioned so my face is in the shadow of the table while shooting.
And the caliper close-up to make it official
