Hey hey! Today I went to the range to try my new Hornet trigger group in my Dlask 10/22 (receiver and barrel). At the end of my session and after getting 1 inch groups at 50yards with Fed Champ 510 ammo I decide to try it at 100 yards...not bad for a semi auto!:cheers:

I'd be interested to see what it could do with match ammo.

Well I've tried some Eley Standard in it and it doesn't gave any better result than the cheaper ammo...I have one box of SK Pistol Match left, I'll give them a try next time, but I don't expect better result from it. Just like Dr.Lector said on this thread http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/showthread.php?t=400847&page=5

''To make your life easier, let me tell you that these barrels
are not meant for match-grade ammunition.
Lapua, Eley, or any similar ammo was not taken into consideration
when developing this barrel.
Of course, in some of the test barrels, some brands of better ammo
was occasionally tested (for shizzles).
But this barrel was intended from the very beginning
to make the best out of common and cheap ammo.


So, my advice is that you keep your money in the pocket and
not spend it on super grade ammo like Lapua Midas L
or Eley Tenex or whatever.
Don't get me wrong, these are excellent choices
for barrels like Lilja, Shilen or whatever, but chances are
you will NOT be impressed with the results of that ammo
in this particular barrel.''

We aren't talking about 25 yards here. Intended for match grade or not, at 100 yards velocity deviation comes into play with a .22, and those targets are showing some vertical spread. The drop in SD you get with match ammo should yield a noticeable improvement when you get out that far. SK pistol would be interesting as its close to Wolf MT (SK Standard Plus), which is used as a benchmark for .22LR on US boards because is shoots well in most platforms. It is to .22LR what FGMM is to 308 Win.; not necessarily the most accurate ammo, but a widely accepted benchmark for comparison.
 
I'll give the SK a try this friday and I'll post picture of the target... I only hope theres not gonna wind just like yesterday, perfect sunny day...:cool:
 
If you have access to a chrono, make use of it and choose ammo that gives you low SDs. It's no different than shooting centerfire at distance; great groups up close don't mean squat at distance if the velocities are all over the place.
 
nah I don't have a chrono...

Anyway I said I was going next friday....but forget it, after all this conversation, I'm going to the range this afternoon!! Damn ,shooting is the best drug EVER!R:d:
 
There is actually a nice little .22 ammo test posted on 6mmbr:

An interesting observation about that Federal Champion:

50-Yard Results
0.356 Federal Champion (http://www.accuratereloading.com/2009/bl5026.jpg)
0.384 Eley Club (http://www.accuratereloading.com/2009/bl5032.jpg)

100-Yard Results
0.622 Eley Club (http://www.accuratereloading.com/2009/bl1007.jpg)
1.175 Fed. Champion Value Pk (http://www.accuratereloading.com/2009/bl10040.jpg)

Similar groups at 50 yards, but big difference at 100 yards (2x). You can see the vertical in his 100 yard Fed. Champion target too.

Who sells Eley in Canada? I wouldn't mind trying Club.
 
Thanks for the links kombayotch! I've shot my SK ammo today and I got some nice groups....I'll post pictures tomorrow cause my camera is dead ....so am I after watchin Habs against Caps playoff! Go Habs Go!:cheers::canadaFlag:
 
ok heres the groups...first picture is from SK ammo at 100 yards, and I can say that I'm impress, because at 25 or 50 yards there is no big differences between Match-grade and Cheap ammo, but 100y the results are here. The 2nd picture is a group from Federal Champ 510 I've done after running out of SK.

There is a noticeable improvement, but still a few flyers. If it was throwing them all over, I'd say it was the barrel. But its all vertical, so its the ammo. The barrel looks like it would hold a little over an inch (at worst) if you got the SDs down. Very decent for the price. I did find SK Match (both Pistol and Rifle) had higher SDs than Standard Plus and Pistol Match Special. I didn't try sorting them by weight or rim thickness though.

I'm looking into trying some of the less expensive ammo that performed well at 100 yards in the 6mmbr test. This place has some pretty good prices on Eley and Lapua ammo: http://www.targetshootingproducts.com

0.622 Eley Club $60/brick
0.753 Lapua Super Club $45/brick
0.831 Eley Sport $45/brick
0.859 Lapua Standard Plus $49/brick
 
The groups seemed to be showing less vertical as you progressed. Match ammo has a lubrication on it. SDs will drop after a box or few and groups will tighten up. Avoid cleaning as often or shooting non-lubed ammo once its seasoned. Similar to moly or hBN in a centerfire...
 
In my experience, bi-pod's on a hard surface (bench) are the devil for vertical stringing (and accuracy in general). Go get a front sandbag, and see if it don't smarten up a whole lot. The bi-pod works much better when shooting prone with grass or some-such under the feet; but all of my guns I ever tried on a pod shot significantly better off of sandbags than they did on the pod.
