Great video man ! Do you still own this rifle ? Have you tried Norma Tac22 ammo ? Thanks for sharing

I also own a CZ 457 and it is funny to see that my cheap Savage B22 shots better with cci standard. I have to make more tests thanks for the video it is great you are presenting the truth of these rifles.

457 varmint and pro iirc are the only ones with bull barrels the other models have thin barrels

Is 1/2 @50 yards = 1/2 moa or 1 moa? I was under the impression that moa is measured at 100yards?

Damn big boy 7.0 shafts

Got 3 back this week, bought one last Tuesday, one on Wednesday, (Thursday was the 4th and everything was closed), bought one on Friday. Approval emails came back 2 on Tuesday and 1 today (Wednesday afternoon). Get them while you can. I have waited 9 months multiple times previously before this speed up in approvals. No excuses.

So your complaint is about an aftermarket trigger? That has nothing to do with the gun. That’s no psa’s fault bud

Interesting video, thanks for posting it.

Is this at 50 or 100?

BCA isn’t an upgrade. Jk I shot sub moa at 100 with a bca 16” heavy Federal fusion 120 grain

I tried about 25 different types out of my 457. I must admit I was hoping for better also but my results weren't quite so bad. I imagine you sold it by now.

Didn't notice... but were Armscor 22LR ammo available for testing? Standard, subsonic, or HV?

I know this is an old post now so don't know if anyone has commented on it but the "flyers" you are getting - other than if it was a cold bore shot, is probably due to change of bullet lube. If you go from a parafin wax type to an oil based type you might want a round or three befoe it settles back down.. wish we could get this sort of assortment here in the UK, its abismal here. The gun trade should be ashamed of themselves.

U do fouling shots in between groups? U shot a cloverleaf on that Eley stuff. I bet the lube they put on their boolits coated ur barrel and then the group tightened after. Fouling shots matter

i am REALLY surprised that your cci standard and cci minimags got the same velocity. the standards are supposed to be subsonic but for some reason your box was not.

Great video. I also have that Ruger bolt gun. My only question would be. You keep saying 1.0 and under groups are MOA or sub MOA. If you are shooting at 50 yards, wouldn't MOA and under be .5" and under?

Thats a shame it doesnt like to extract the cci standard velocity. That was by far the most accurate ammo and its very affordable. I was thinking about upgrading my barrel but i dont want to have an exctraction problem. Thanks for the video

I've been looking at this model for years and finally gave in tonight😅 I'll be glass shopping next week.

Leave it fouled then those fouled groups are really good. Try to break it in more😊

May i know the magnification and brand of your scope? I am looking for one now. Thanks!

Where do you buy your target papers?

I did a couple things on mine. Action screws 20 inch lbs. Installed bolt shims .002 to tighten up head space. Installed Yo Dave spring and lowered trigger pull to 1.5 lbs. Do you still have the gun or did you sell it?

Ruger is the most fearless not Accurency is too bad

Awesome I personally love both the lapua and the wolf ammo can consistently hit a golf ball a 150 yards no issue works great

You did not run your ballistics program properly. You have tripled the group sizes. The measurements given are what they would be at 150 yards. The 4.90 you reference on the first target is clearly a 1.5" group. The Lapua Center-X target has two .5" groups that you have at 1.46 and 1.52. It is not just these three groups but those are obvious for anyone to see. Not a CZ "fanboy" and even if you measured them properly they still suck.

you have extrapolated what the group would be at a 100 and put it down as the 50 yard measurement. How else can you fit a 2" group inside of a 1.5" circle. The groups still suck but they are half the size of what you have written down.

me looking at the ammo price and crying

What makes ammo get good groups is the fit to the barrel, imparting the twist by proper fit from the lands and grooves stabilizing the bullet in flight . This is why some ammo seems to work better than others in certain barrels for no reason, it has to do with the fit of a particular ammo . If the bullet is a little loose it doesn't get the right amount of twist to stabilize in flight , this is why a Guy will say " I only run a certain brand and type of ammo in my rifle. Check Each bullet width with a gauge to see what variation are present and which are more accurate in your rifle.

Hope you got it fixed.

Better have order the 150s weaker lofted otherwise you got a gapping problem my man

What distance did he shoot from?

I just bought the RPR. I have not even shot it and have already put the Shaw 20" on it which was the plan from the start. The fit on my barrel is snug but not tight and in fact just like the factory barrel. I did notice that before I installed the barrel I fitted some round into the chamber and the 40 grain bulk ammos were tighter in the barrel to the point that I wouldnt push them in. The 36 grain could not only go all the way in but I could get them out with ease. Im looking forward to shooting it this week. Great video! I do like to watch people shoot but your choice to show the targets was great because of how you had it organized.

Thanks for your candor about your results with this Rifle. This sort of thing can be very frustrating and after spending that level of money I don’t blame you for being angry. I would be too, and as far as I’m concerned you can leave the language in as it helps convey What it’s like to deal with this. You should not have had these problems after investing this amount of money

Thanks for going to so much trouble and expense to test all these different kinds of ammunition and provide an overview of so many results. Kudos. I realize this video is four years old now and from your description it sounds like you have made a number of upgrades since that time. I don’t mean to be critical, although this is a critical comment, referring to the equipment in this video I’m afraid your rifle is just not very accurate. Hopefully with the upgrades you described you found better accuracy with a number of different kinds of ammunition.

I regret buying my American Rimfire. The center line of the magazine does not line up with the center line of the chamber so consequently the ammunition gets hung-up when the nose of the bullets hit the left side of the chamber. Ruger refuses to fix it. Garbage company!

I don’t like the other Federal ammo I’ve tried, however willing to try the white box… looks like a good value too.

CCI blazer is the same as minimag without the copper jacket.

Would like to see if you can get a hold of a Savage Mark II TR ( the one with a 22" heavy barrel ) and see what the difference is. It is a great bench rifle. Here we can not get the ammo you can but using what I can get it seems to shoot tighter groups. at 50yd. and amazing at 30 and 40. where I mostly shoot. Using CCI standard can completely cover a five shot group with a dime, (5/16" center to center) on a good day. And have shot five groups of five all under 1" in one sitting. Would like to see some one who is a better shot, shoot the Mark II and think they can improve on this. At 75 not the eyes I use to be. As soon as the weather warms up, going to try to get out and shoot a lot more, hoping to improve and get all groups close to or under 3/8". Did pick up a better scope but have not even got a chance to sight it in yet. Weather not good lately.

Mount your camera on a tripod!. I could not continue watching your video; I got sea sick watching your erratic video.

Outstanding

Looks like you were shooting a shotgun!

You are switching ammo's without cleaning between them or shooting several fouler rounds first before doing a group. Try the Eley Club again, BUT clean your rifle first, and then shoot 5-10 rounds before shooting a group, guaranteed.....lights out!. The ammo's you were getting to group well (without fliers) were after shooting a like bullet with similar bullet and lube material.

So you’re saying the federal white box was the best ammo? 🤔

HMM I DONT BELIEVE YOU. my green mountain 24 inch sporter barrel in my 10-22 shoots an inch at 80 yards with federal 36 grain hp

Your numbers are way off man. Learn what moa is, and how to calculate it. Buy yourself a set of calipers, measure, and then calculate it properly. Those groups that are 1" at 50 yards, are 2 moa, not 3.5 moa etc...

Late to the party but great review. Interesting that you found the Norma stuff to be inconsistent. I usually use CCI subsonic is my RPR which runs a Wildcat Predator 12 suppressor and is almost silent, the thing is sub 1/2" groups but today i was using Norma subsonic and the groups were like buckshot out of an unchoked 12g. Super inconsistent and each shot sounded different too as if the powder loads were varying.

Nice video, I have 3 6.5 Grendel barrels from BCA . The 18" & 20" barrels print nice groups. Using Hornady and Wolf. The 11 " pistol barrel isn't functional as of yet . Glad to see a positive video about BCA .

Check out "Mark and Sam after work" they shoot super sonic to beyond 1000 yards.

I have the same rifle and I also painted the stock camouflage and at first glance it looks identical other than the scope. I've only shot military surplus m80 ball out of it and got groups of 1.25 I'd like to try some 168 smk and see what she'll do but all in all I love my savage 110 tactical
