Thread: Why do .22s have such different accuracy with different ammunition?

its a .22lr.......unless you are punching paper and trying to shoot tiny wee groups how accurate do you need?? I know some fellas on here shoot bunnies out to hundy yards with .22lr but 50yards is about it for me,75 yards is a long shot...most of what I shoot with 22lr I could take with .12ga eg under 50 yards....the .22lr gets used as its cheaper ,quieter and does less damage to carcass .....If want to shoot further will use 223 or the 22-250 so if I look at it realistically I only need somewhere around an inch at 25 yards to be able to do what I ask of the pee shooter.
no possum up tree will be further than 35meters/40 yards away...not even the top of a lombardi poplar will put it out of shotgun range....yes thats correct....top of lombardi is IN RANGE ....top of willow will be no more than 15 yards....
so again,how accurate do you need???
