Thread: 22 ammo testing for gong shoots

Gidday Guys. I'm gonna be on crutches and not driving for at least 8 weeks so gotta figure out some shooting I can do within staggering distance from the kitchen table!

I have a firing point for 22s just out the door, with backstops at 100M and 200M - now I ain't gonna be getting up to check or replace a target every few rounds.

So I was thinking of getting a couple of new gongs made and using them to test a range of the cheaper 22 ammos like Norma Tac 22, CCI SV, Eley Club and maybe others as per your suggestions.

I'll study the Match instructions I have from previous shoots but I'm thinking of using a 100mm gong with a 30mm "central" for 100M and a 250mm gong with a 75mm "central" for 200. I'll test each ammo batch at 50M first in all 4 rifles I have that are proven performers with two 10 shot groups. Then selecting the two rifles that best shot the ammo I'll put 25 rounds through each rifle at both distances, 5 shots to ensure zero and 20 to test. I'll record the number of hits and centrals. I might even be able to chrony all shots and match these to hits/central.

Thoughts/suggestions on this methodology.?
