Shot some groups at 50 yards the other day and just got around to posting some pics. I got good results with CCI Green Tag and Eley Standard, right around MOA for 10 shots. The target 2nd from the left in the bottom row is a typo, should read "SK Std Plus".

I'm trying out some SK Rifle Match and Lapua Center X this weekend. Anybody else have good results with these? Any suggestions? I'm moving it out to 100 and then 200.

In mine Green tag is very good and not expensive at all, on your target GT look like one of your best bet to... JP.
 
Nice groups. What scope are you running?

BTW call ahead if your gonna drive down, I was up yesterday morning at Silverdale and the 100/200 and metric range was being used by the Police.

Thanks. I've got an old Bushnell 3-9x armorsight on there in these pics. I just put on an EGW rail so I'm going to try out my Nightforce NXS 3.5-15x56 on it because I've got a keeper here.

Good spot on the picture location! Actually I was breaking in the rifle out at Silverdale, then shot the groups at OSGC later that week. I just didn't have a good picture of it out at the 'Shwa. Thanks for the tip but I think I'm going to go East this weekend.
 
Cool thread, I've been researching a lot about .22's lately looking for my first one.

Have you ever tried CCI "Select"? It's supposed to be CCI's match grade ammo. I grabbed a couple boxes of it to try, once I actually have something to shoot in it. It's a bit higher velocity, so I wonder if slowing down to subsonic over longer ranges will hurt the accuracy.

I actually bought this rifle as a trainer for my precision rifle and I am having a lot of fun with it. Best accessory I have got for my M700 yet. :)

I haven't come across any CCI Select but will give it a try if I do.
 
Where you got your CCI Select ?

I want to give them a try as well. Heard good things about them.

My MKII TR loves the Velocitors and Winchester Super X HP

Thanks ST ill pm you my cell # and shoot me a text when your there.

To the OP, I took out the accu-junk and installed myself a Rifle Basix.and now have an average of 14oz for my trigger pull. and it improved my grouping as well.

I used the lyman digital pull gauge with bipod on the gun and butt against the wall and did 5 pulls.

Yeah, I was looking at trigger options but I still haven't even taken the stock off to adjust the trigger yet. Just waiting for DIP bottom metal to arrive as I may as well replace that while I'm at it.

The Accu-Trigger will do for now, it kinda reminds me of a 2 stage trigger, but thanks for the tip, as I'm sure the day will come. :)
