[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1664232, member: 2736"] This is the reason I have started an experimental project to find out if the problem is the rifles or the ammo. I am building a 22 WMR and pulling out all the stops. I have never had a 22 Mag that could stay with a 17 HMR for accuracy. I am building this rifle just like I would a center fire rifle. Threading the barrel instead of pressing it in, I am also Installing an integral recoil lug to prevent the action screws from doing this job. And as funny as it sounds, I am considering adding a muzzle brake for the damping effect it could have on the barrel harmonics. this will be part of the testing to evaluate it's effect on accuracy. (Not on recoil) I have long believed that a muzzle brake will improve the shooters ability more that anything else. But I would also like to know it could improve the rifles accuracy. Once it is broke in, I will test it without anything on the barrel, then with the thread protector and finally with the brake. I will chronograph all shots and use the Oehler chronograph that will not effect the accuracy with different things mounted on the barrel Even though I love the Magneto Speed. I have a feeling that Ammo has always been it's downfall, But hope that someone is loading better ammo for the 22 WRM now days. will post the results when done, good or bad. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
