Thread: More .22LR musings

I use CCI Target 40 grain Round nose solid for Smallbore.
If I do my bit, can put 4-5 pretty much through the same hole at 25 yds (old range).
Scored as per attached pic (first time ever, though have come close at 99.5 using CCI).
Annie 1415 M54 target rifle, with 4-12 x 42 AO scope set on 11x.
Eley Club is just as consistent, so the 'nut behind the butt' can be the 'confusion' factor.



Have had some issues with the CCI being difficult to extract during a string.
I've not taken the time to measure rim thickness, but when closing the bolt, more effort is required for the 'sticky' ejection cases.
Have measured bearing surface length on Eley and CCI - CCI bearing surface is longer by approx 0.9mm.
Also loading a round and then extracting, shows longer rifling marks (deeper engagement into rifling), on the CCI than on the Eley.
Can only put that down to different manufacturing process and the tight factory tolerances in the Annie.
