Cooey 60 100yd Ammo Test

[zimbu]

I thought I'd share my ammo test results on my Cooey 60. All groups were shot at 100yd (measured with an Elite1500 ARC) off a bipod and rear bag, with an Elite 3200tac 5-15X40 scope. Wind less than 2mph. Seems the Federal Gold Match 40gr wins with 10 shots into 1.18" and 4 shots into .51"
It was noticably slower than the other contenders and required an extra 2MOA of elvation to stay on target, but if I can shoot a grouse in the head at 100yd I really don't care how fast the bullet is going!

very cool never shot mine at 100 much but i have had good luck with bulk stuff never had any luck with the hi-vol stuff not bad when i can take 500 or so small game animals for $20

Nice shooting measure your group again, puting tips of calipers in center of widest two bullet holes

It's more accurate to measure OD to OD and subtract one diameter, in this case .22" than it is to guess at where the center of the hole might be.

Oddly enough my Cooey 60 likes CCI high velocity shorts the best (copper plated, round nosed, 1070fps). No idea why and I figured jumping the distance in the chamber would decrease accuracy but they are the most accurate non-match ammo in mine.
