So came across
this post on 6mm BR, very interesting given the 55 different types of ammo use.
Links to tagets at
50 yards
Links to tagets at
75 yards
Links to tagets at
100 yards
There are some real oddities in there.. for example the Eley Club group actually shrank from 75 to 100 yards.
What do you guys think.

i think its a very comprehensive test for various ammunition. esp at 100 knowing what .22lr is at 100 yards.
Re: the eley, what do u think the chances were of eley performing the way it did due to personal error?
Are the numbers in inches or minutes of angles?

The Eley Tenex is generally considered the most accurate .22 lr ammo at 50 yards, which is the distance it is shot at in competition. Which doesnt quite mean its true for longer distances.
The shooting was done by someone who is a very experienced BR shooter, in a tunnel. Additonally the numbers are an average of 5 5 shot groups for each type of ammo at each distance. The measurements are in inches.
Additionally each .22lr tends to favour a particular type/brand of ammo. My Cz 452 for some reason will not group Eley Tenex, but is great with Midas.
In rimfire benchrest, most shooters will buy a few boxes of ammo from different lots, and see what works. Once they find what make, style and lot number is working for them, they buy a few cases of the ammo from a particular lot. Rimfire ammo is a constantly shifting target for most shooter.
The one type of ammo I would have loved in this mix is the Lapua Xact.

Guruji as i told you before i have no experience in shooting. (Till 6 months ago i used to think shooting close groups is stupid if u cant get it on the bullseye.)
Just trying to live uppto being your desciple.

subsonic hp.
Interestingly, these ones didnt group well with the rifle compared to the other load which was over. (being the preffered ammo, it was shot more and hence finito).
So i had to make do with the subsonic hp's
