[QUOTE="Teri Anne, post: 2906260, member: 118816"] Over the years I have found that rifles and pistols all each like or dislike different brands and varieties of ammunition. I have also found that rifle barrels are also so fussy that even ammo coming from a different lot number of the exact same ammo that was shooting sub zero moa with one lot number will not come anywhere close to what the previous lot number would do. Not long ago I had several boxes of Winchester Silvertip 22LR that would shoot sub moa at 100 yards, I used that segmented ammo to shoot a lot of woodchucks on a neighbors farm. I was so happy with the performance that I bought a brick only to find out that my Tikka didn't like this lot number as well and instead of shooting sub moa would only shoot right at 1 moa. Still good at 100 yards but not as good as the same ammo of the previous batch did. I see Aguila .22 ammo mentioned as not being accurate. It shoots sub moa out of the Tikka, maybe not quite as small a group as with SK or Ely but it will take the head off of a squirrel at 100 yards. I have a friend who I shoot with a lot and his Ruger 10/22 absolutely loves Aguila and shoots 0.5 moa at 100 yards with it. My point is that different barrels pretty much all like different varieties of ammo to shoot their best. In order to find what your particular rifle likes you need to try different ammo. We do it with our high power rifles, and our .22's are not any different. [/QUOTE]
