That is what I have done all my life with my field-grade rifles and pistols. Lately I have thought to do a little testing of that very subject.

The best .22 rifle I have is an old Savage-Anschutz Model 54 Sporter. I have a spare high-powered scope lying around. I’m not sure the rifle is sufficiently accurate to tell much but I think I will give it a try. The problem with testing .22s seems to be separating rifle test-results from ammo test-results, from weather reports. Wind seems to be an intimidating problem. I’ve got no place to shoot indoors.
