Ran some .22's

[Distant Thunder]

Very interesting and timely thread for me, I just got my rifle up and running this past week. It's only taken me 7 years to do something with this Green Mountain barrel after winning it in a mid-range match at Lodi in June of 2011! Best 2nd place prize I've even won too.    

I couldn't decide between 26 and 28 inch barrel so I went with 27 inches. I finally decided on a C. Sharps 1875 action so it is the same make and weight of my big bore (.40-65) silhouette rifle.

Ammo to feed such a critter had been almost nonexistent in my area for about 8 years, but I was happy to see that has recently improved. The attached target is from my first time out with it shooting anything I had on hand that would fit in the chamber. I only had a few Wolf Target which shot pretty well at 50 yards. 200 meter groups with anything I've tried haven't really impressed me yet. What kind of groups is anyone else getting at 200 yards/meters? Just wondering.

   

Sure is a bunch of fun to shooting and does pretty well out to 100 yards. I'm looking forward to testing some of the new ammo I just picked up this week.

Keep the ammo testing going, I look forward to seeing what's working for you guys.
