Accurate Ammo

What is the most accurate ammo you've found out there?

billy · 02-03-2008, 08:17 AM

of what type?
.22 wolf match target

ArkansasHunter · 02-03-2008, 08:18 AM

Remington 150 gr. core lok's for my 308 and 30-06 rifles. I'm sure theres some expensive ammo that shoots as well, but why pay more for the same result's ?
The round nose is very accurate in my 30-06 Remton 742 semi'auto and the pointed is in my Ruger 308 bolt action shoots clover leaf or over lapping bullet holes at a 100 yards.

hi stevie!
im stupid.
it doesnt matter what time of day it is.
im not awake.

ok back to ammo.
standard velocity is the only way to go if i want tiny groups.
some lots of subsonic are good.

wolf m.t. $40 per 500

I'll look for the Wolf today. Hopefully, Ammo King will have it.

Depends on the rifle, I have three .22's and each shoots best with a different brand. It's not much, maybe .125in at best. You have to shoot a lot of groups to narrow it down. In Orygun it starts raining in Nov and goes till May. I do a lot of indoor rimfire shooting

lefty o · 02-03-2008, 09:40 AM

the wolf is good for the money. best out there currently is eley tenex, followed by eley match eps, then some of the lapua's.

billy · 02-03-2008, 11:55 AM

yes it depends on the gun.
once i got a 5 shot 0.042 in.@ 25 yd. group i stopped looking.

im glad mine doesnt need to be fed the really expensive stuff.
someday i'll slurge and buy the most expensive available just for giggles and see how it does.

I weighed a box of 50 the other day. They were all 51.6 grains plus/minus 0.1 grains. Average 51.606, and standard deviation of 0.074. There was no comparison to three other boxes of Winchester I did as well. If that box is typical, it is kind of pointless to even weigh the Blazers.

Your Point is ??????

My .22's like the just plain (cheap) federals in the 525 bulk pack, 36gr. HP. Do real well with this round for some strange reason.
