Thread: Borderline useful .22lr info

Hey team,

Mrs Larry had two of her sweing machines out this morning, so I am hiding out in the shed.

A fella at the range the other day looked at one of my 10 shot groups, and said I should try weighing my ammunition. So yea why not, the house won't be safe for a while. I weighed 20 rounds on the balance scales, set to 50.4 (seemed to be the average) and worked away.

Of 150 rounds of cci standard velocity from the same brick
50.3 x35
50.4 x45
50.5 x43

So that means 27/150 fell outside of the .3 I could gauge
on the beam scale.

A quick spot check of those 27 showed none heavier than 50.7, and none lighter than 50.1.

I'll take a picture of my 100m group with sorted ammunition hopefully tomorrow. Im unsure how useful this info will be as a .22 may show up more environmental factors

Attached is a 50m target with the same batch of ammunition unsorted from a fortnight ago.
