Good grouping at 50 yds prior to these I’m using Remington I'm not surprised if you were using the Remington .22 HP Subs before, probably the most inconsistent and worst ammo made! 1 Quote Link to post

cragman 2,791 Posted May 22, 2019 Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 Always used the Remington. The guy who mentored me (god rest his soul) got me set up with them. I’ve hit a few bunnies with them I was expecting the first round pop last night but didn’t get it. Always got it with the remmys Quote Link to post
Dave_4 102 Posted June 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Now I’m lost, the last 100 rounds of the SK have been a bit random, a few flyers. Missed a squirrel last night, twice from the same place as always so I have the range nailed. Thought it may be my scope was I need of a zero, I have a target that’s permanently up, had a couple of shots snd from my aim point one was an inch high and left the second was an inch low and right. This has no put me off the sk’s, I need to be able just to pick up my rifle and and have confidence in it. So my question is, do I give the barrel a clean with a pull through or look at changing amo? I’ve put roughly 1000 rounds through it. Cheers Quote Link to post
Sausagedog 7,381 Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 (edited) Welcome to the world of rimfire! Massed produced ammunition that uses heeled bullets will always have these issues, it's why it was kind of dropped in the larger Cal's of yesteryear. Crimping uniformity can be compromised with heeled bullets over bullet in case designs. Then there is the possibilities of irregular priming! Edited June 25, 2019 by Sausagedog Quote Link to post
