[QUOTE="SaskShooter, post: 760288, member: 42520"] Shooters, have you tried the 33 grain Remington Premiere Accutip load in your .22 mag? I know you said you tried a bunch of loads, but the Accutip stands alone as the closest you can get to "match grade" .22 mag ammo. Even Cooper uses that load for accuracy testing in their rifles. It IS very expensive for .22 mag ammo, but worth every penny. Try it, and it may just squeeze into MOA at 100 yards. It's loaded quite hot at 2000 FPS, and I'm sure it will fold coons quite nicely. When I had my Savage .22 mag, it did the exact same thing as yours. The first thing I found was they're very picky about how tight you hold them. TIGHT. Most loads would be around 1/2" at 50 yards, 1.5-2.5" at 100. I held that gun good and tight, snugged it into my shoulder, and punched a nice clean 1 inch group at 200 yards with the Accutips. Followed it up by headshooting a few ground squirrels at around 130 yards. Loads I tried before the Accutip? Winchester 40 gr. JHP, Winchester 45 gr. Dynapoint (crap), Winchester Supreme 34 gr. Power Point, CCI 40 gr. Maxi-Mag, CCI 30 gr. Maxi-Mag TNT, CCI 30 gr. Maxi-Mag+V, maybe a few more. The Accutip blew them all away. [/QUOTE]
