22 LR Ammunition Testing: Norma Match-22

[@Dayattherange]

Ray nice shooting rifle especially with that ammo. We would love to see you over at Dayattherange in the next challenge.

[@TNRay]

I appreciate the compliment! Shoot me a message on one of the other platforms and we can chat about it

[@ron8566]

Thx. Not bad. Please try Wolf Match Extra with the Eley headstamp. Also try Eley Match and Eley 10X. Thx.

[@TNRay]

Thanks for the recommendation. If I can source them, I will try them.

[@timvest8141]

Awesome groups.

[@TNRay]

I’m pretty happy with them for the price!

[@danielchambers1958]

Just tested the Norma 22 match and I like it.

[@TNRay]

Awesome!

[@ericrumpel3105]

Thanx fersharing.

[@TNRay]

Thanks for watching!

[@CountryRimfire]

Super nice rifle 👍 Mine doesn't like Norma that much 😢

[@TNRay]

Thank you! I’m thankful mine does, it’s significantly cheaper than others 😅

[@CountryRimfire]

@@TNRay no kidding!! I wish mine did. It would make my life much easier 😄 🤣

[@TNRay]

Throw that bolt back like you mean it! Short-jacking it is part (at least) of what's causing your ejection problems. Those things are meant to be run hard.

[@TNRay]

No, I’m not “short-jacking” the action. It’s running all the way to the catch every single time. Sure, I could run the bolt a little harder but I’m not shooting for time in these videos. Thanks for the comment though

[@upStomp]

Waxier rounds sometimes have minor FTF/FTE issues in cooler weather (CCI, Aguila, RWS/Norma, etc.) with my CZ. "Flicking" the bolt can help a bit on the FTE side. Also, sanding/polishing down the serial number on the bolt (if you haven't already) can make that "flick" smoother.

[@KY22LR]

I would bet the majority of your ES was due to that clean bore. If you'd started averaging your data after about 10 rounds, I bet your SD and ES would be much lower.

[@TNRay]

Yeah probably, clean bore and cold bore could both be the culprit.

[@Grumpyseabee22]

I just tested that ammo and did not have the groups that you’re getting.

[@TNRay]

Did you have better or worse groups?

[@Grumpyseabee22]

@@TNRay way worse, I posted a video

[@TNRay]

@Grumpyseabee22 sorry to hear that!

[@MatthewsFabrication]

Love the Book of Matthew, I was named after Matthew. Wow, with a higher ES, you'd think your groups wouldn't be so ridiculously Amazing. A 0.33" group is Amazing, Nice Work. Thanks for running the Matthew's Fabrication Cheek Riser, we truly appreciate your support.

That’s great, the true and living gospel must continue to be shared! I was extremely surprised with my groups, I would imagine pushing out to 100 yards or further, the groups would fall apart due to the severe velocity differences. Thanks for making a great product, and I appreciate you watching and sharing!

[@MatthewsFabrication]

​@@TNRay​ I totally agree, needs to be shared. I bet it'll still be a surprisingly good group at 100 yards, but only testing it out will tell. You're more than welcome for sharing & watching. Very enjoyable content

[@CountryRimfire]

Is the cheek riser drilled 😮 into the wood stock?

[@TNRay]

Yes indeed, it is. It’s extremely secure and solid, no worries about it moving or shifting

[@CountryRimfire]

@@TNRay I don't think I could drill mine. 😨 Although, I think I do need one. I have to ponder on that for a spell.
