[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 2084110, member: 26077"] Assuming you have a good barrel with a match or semi match chamber then accuracy is all about the ammo. If you send $20/50 for Eley or similar, pretty much going to shoot just fine. The real trick is to find a much less expensive ammo that shoots as good or nearly so. For target work, Federal Champion 40 grain round nose have performed excellent in a wide range of rifles. Results will vary not just by brand but even by different lots of the same ammo. When you find a lot that shoots great buy as big a bunch as you can afford. 22 RF accuracy is the ammo. Test enough brands and lots to find the accuracy you need for different things. My hunting ammo does not group as well as my target ammo, but it kills much better due to hollow point and higher velocity. Standard velocity ammo generally groups better than HV or Hyper velocity. Typical 50 yard ammo test - [IMG]https://i.imgur.com/usgP7KEh.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
