Thread: Best range to zero in my new .22

I got a red dot for my AR15 and couldnt hit the target at 25yds (no laughing you assholes!) I ended up re-starting at at most 5m and then once on target moved it out and out. So start at 25yds and if you cant hit move it to a car length distance and re-try.

What I did find was shooting 22LR in the CMMG conversion depended heavily on ammo. I couldnt get velocitors in wellington so tried 50rounds of everything else I could find.

So I had,

lapua std (not enough oomph to clear cases)
lapua high velocity (2nd most accurate only occasional (once in 30) jam)
highland high velocity (most accurate and $10 for 50 about cheapest!, no jams in 40)
winchester super speed? (shot like crap)
Fiochi (or some such spelling, shot like crap.)
Remington (shot like crap)

I would start with a usually good round,

CCI std velocity I have some but yet to try it (at $8 a box worth a go)

I was surprised at the highland ammo and its quite cheap, Belmont sell it if no once else does.

I have the target's i'll scan them for my records and can post them if any one is interested.
