My 22 shoots 1/2" groups at 50 yards/meters all day! Really? Prove it!
- Thread starter Underthegun
- Start date
I gave this a go today at the CDTSA 50 yard line. I didn't quite make it but came close. The rifle is a CZ 452 Varmint with the YoDave Trigger Kit topped with a Bushnell 6-18 AO. Today I was shooting SK Subsonic. I blew the challenge on the 2nd target but overall I was pleased and I think with better ammo I may be up for the challenge.
The group sizes were as follows:
1) .691 (.471) - 10 shots
2) .932 (.712)
3) .749 (.579) - 10 shots
4) .539 (.319)
5) .658 (.438) - 10 shots
6) .961 (.741)
7) .543 (.323) - 10 shots
8) .644 (.424)
9) .765 (.545) - 10 shots

Ok, so I've wanted to complete this for a while, and here's my entry. I hope it's OK that I used shoot n' see patches on my target. All groups were shot consecutively, the shown target was my third attempt.
Whole target showing all 5 groups.
Rifle used was a CZ 452 Varmint with Weaver Tactical 4-20x50mm scope. The rest was sand bags and ammunition used was Eley Club Xtra.
Smallest group shown with calipers. It measured 0.403" edge to edge, or 0.183" center to center.
Group sizes, center to center (measuring edge to edge, then subtracting 0.22") starting with the top left going clockwise, finishing with the center group were:
0.183"
0.390"
0.273"
0.286"
0.337"
Average = 0.294" (rounded up)

Nice groups. I mean no offence but are you sure you are measuring correctly? From the outside of the full bullet diameters before subtracting your .224? Judging from your tape that center grouping looks much larger than .53"? Looks closer to 11/16" or .68"
The groups generally look larger than typical for the size indicated. Not trying to call you out just asking if they are in fact measured correctly.
The group in the top left corner is indicated as the same size as the center group but appears smaller.
