    So, I was purely talking about using subsonic ammo which I reckon is the forte of the .22LR now.
    I was shooting at those ranges with @mudgripz pretty early on in my career using the cheap PMX subs I got off @crnkin. The little Norinco I bought for the kids also loves that ammo.

    Bore sighted the Norinco and a 5 shot the group off the dot at 50m. Then twiddled the doofers to adjust onto the 24mm dots and shot another 5 shot group.


    Then onto the next dot for another 5 shot group.


    This is all at 50m with a little 4x32 Huntsman scope (I think that's the name on it).
    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!
