matt1982 0 Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Hi, I have recently bought my first rimfire rifle .22LR calibre, the model i have gone for is a Browning T-Bolt Target/Varmint, 16.5" barrel. I am going to try a few different brands of ammunition to see what best suits the rifle but has anyone got any advice on a particular brand they know shoot well through it? Any advice would be greatly received! Cheers. Quote Link to post
dadioles 68 Posted June 4, 2014 Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 Good luck with your new rifle and enjoy the time spent finding the best ammunition. No two rifles shot the same so any advice about ammunition is fairly meaningless. Just buy a box each of whatever your local dealers routinely hold in stock and try it out. You will possibly see a significant difference. Stick to subsonic expanding ammunition. When you have discovered which make gives you the tightest group, purchase as much as you are allowed and stick with it. Price should not really be a consideration as non of it is particularly expensive in the grand scheme of things, you just want whatever is most accurate. Off a bipod you should quite easily get groups of 5 shots within the area of a 2p coin at 50 yards. Hopefully rather better. Quote Link to post
