Range Report Ammo Comparison Pics

[Scuds03]

Hey everyone. Had myself a great day at the range and thought I'd share how my 15-22 went through a bunch of various ammos and share pics of my targets. I did all of my shooting at an outdoor range at 25 yards with 0 wind. I shot from a very solid benchrested position with a NcStar 3-9X42 scope. All groups are 10 rounds shot at 1 inch stickers. Exception is the Rem GB was shot at a 2 inch sticker because I ran outa 1 inchers. Scope was zeroed using Win 333 ammo so ignore group placement, what counts are sizes. Ammos tested:

Federal 550 Bulk Pack
Remington Gold Bullet 550 Bulk Pack
Winchester 333 Bulk Pack
Winchester Super X .37 Grain High Velocity Hollow Point
CCI Mini-Mag .36 Grain Hollow Point
CCI Mini-Mag .40 Grain Round Nose
CCI Stinger Hyper Velocity

Looks like for my 15-22 CCI is the Bees Knees while Win 333 is gonna be my go-to econo class..for now....I still want to test these loads at 50 75 and 100 yards to see whats best overall as far as trajectory consistancy over a 100 yard span. As far as the reliability goes, I shot close to 600 rounds that day (lots of metal target plinking) and I did not have one single failure, not one (Very Happy). My only gripe is DON'T buy the Barska Red-Dot electro sight I have!! It sucks! Adjustmets are crap and it does not stay zeroed. The NcStar scope works very well. Only problem with it I had is if I removed it from the gun and put it back on, I would have to re-zero it. It would be off by about 1 inch each time. But as long as I did not remove it, it stayed perfectly zeroed.

Nice report. That's not uncomon with inexpensive scopes, especially the NcStar. Mine would do the same thing.

Those 333s look quite nice for bulk ammo. I've got several boxes of 333s in my ammo safe. They never grouped that nicely out of my 10/22. I'll need to load some up for groups in my 15-22 and see how they do. Thanks!

Interesting on the Win SuperX as well. I get pretty good groups with SuperX in my singleshot break open .22 with SuperX (not target grade, but better than other 'bulk' I use (Fed550, 333s, and RGBs). Methinks another multi-ammo range session with the 15-22 is in order!
