[QUOTE="Clem Bronkoski, post: 2556906, member: 110518"] Exactly...In my experience over the 55 plus years shooting rimfires is that each rifle (or handgun) has its favorite brand. Same goes for muzzleloaders which I have been shooting since the early 70s. What shoots excellent in one will shoot just so so in another and sometime even worse. I will even go so far as to say that centerfire rifles are similar but not as picky. I have a few rifles in my gun safes that will shoot 0.5 MOA with tailored handloads but will only shoot 1 MOA or so with factory ammo. This is the reason why I only shoot factory ammo to break in a barrel and for the brass for reloading. I got this rifle as a high end plinker but now that I see what it can do I want to push it and extend its range. I have no use for ammo that doesn't fill that bill. I'll save my Win and Rem ammo for my lesser quality 22s when I just want to play and make some noise. Note: I will confess that 2 of the 3 types of Win ammo I shot were old stock. This could have been the reason for the flyers. The 3rd type though shot just as bad as the other 2. And if you examine the targets you can see that the ones that shot bad were equally spaced. The better ones went in the same hole or very close. [/QUOTE]
