I had some reservations about the 22 wmr ,before i got it ,but having a accurate 22 lr (the savage mark 2 bv with accutrigger) already .
i wanted a good quality rim fire gun for hunting, so i took a chance so i opted for the 22 mag knowing that they wernt all that accurate .
BOY has my opinion changed at least with my new baby .
although the federal 40 gr full metal jacket grouped best there almost useless as a hunting round ,but great for plinking.or minimum pelt damage ,
second smallest group was the CCI maxi mag 33 gr gold dot to my surprise, would be a very explosive round and fantastic for small game were penetration is no concern.
third is remington 40 gr pointed soft point this my first choice for hunting ,its only .003 of a inch bigger and i can probably get it better than the gold dots and the 40 gr remi will allow for deeper penitration and controled expantion,at least thats what remington claims . im anxtious to give a field report . but i wouldnt hesitate to take down any small game up to and including coyotes whith this one .
fourth smallest group was the 33 gr remington V MAX which i labeled accutip on the group pic s , although i was impressed with the round they cost my $18.99 for a box of 50 so i ain't getting any more until the price comes down .
5 th smallest group ,the remington 40 gr jacketed hollow point (my second choice for hunting )has the exact same bullet as the 40 gr CCI maxi mag the remi just ran better in my gun .
and last is the dynapoints (they are the ####tiest things ive ever called a cartridge )
over all they were all pretty good but im favoring remington right now and least until i can get some federal ammo to test out .
ps i love this gun
