Ruger Precision Rimfire ammo comparison Part 2

*********Yes, I know the manual says no stingers. No one was harmed in the making of this video.********
All groups at 50 yards.
Second part of the ammo comparison out of my RPRF. I like to choose ammo that I feel is fairly priced (minus a few) and readily available. So here's the results for me, yours will vary but at least it's a good starting point. Thanks for watching!
EDIT: ended up ordering more Eley force and its been super consistent out to distance. Able to get 1/2 MOA at 200 yards.

Excellent effort, thank you for posting these, I want to see more!

No problem! I honestly don't see why there's all the negative reviews on accuracy out there. This thing is a tac driver.

[@tufftrucker40]

You definitely saved me as well as alot of people a pain when it come to what ammo shoots out of your rpr. Unless there are some major manufacturing differences in the rifles , your info gives us all a great place to start with ammo testing. Thank you for all the info.

[@coreyd1474]

there will be some differences in the lower end stuff for sure but high end stuff like cx and all the sk flavors will pretty much be interchangeable. good luck!

WOW you saved me a bunch of time and energy by fleshing out so many different manufacturers. I dropped the Norma-22, it didnt shoot consistently. Picked up the Federal Auto Match and it ran great, until I got out past 125 yards. Proof that each rifle shoots different ammo differently. Thanks for the hard work.

Corey, Great work, thank you for your time to put this together. This has to be one of the best 22 ammo reviews I've found since you show the data in a clear concise format. I'm getting ready to do a similar test with a couple of my rifles to see what they like beyond Mini-Mags. Wish me luck ;-)

[@coreyd1474]

Thanks for the feedback. Once thing i wish i was able to do was have at least 20 fowling rounds per ammo and maybe run a barrel snake through a few times after each i just didn't have that kind of time or ammo. I would recommend doing that to get the best results. good luck though!

[@TheBrewer3535]

@@coreyd1474 Agreed. I was planning on running 25 rounds per gun (5x5) in a sense getting the 20 fouling and 1- 5 shot group. I also want to see if there really is any difference as the barrel acclimates to the ammo. I was going to use an Otis pull through, but I may just grab a bore snake for ease.

Excellent video. Now I've seen both parts. I think your ammo review is the best one on youtube by far. I do get a lot different results from my Ruger 10/22 with some of the same ammo you shoot. Easy to explain: I like faster ammo at shorter distances where it stays supersonic throughout. Anyway, these days I shoot whatever I can get, if anything.

Well done on Parts 1 and 2! Thank you for investing the time and money and sharing your results with us. I also liked the fact that you said that this is what worked well in your rifle but we should do our own testing to see what works well in our own. It sure is interesting to see how some of the different brands perform. I'm not a "precision" shooter as I own a couple of Savage Mk II's, a Savage 64G and a S&W M&P 15-22 but I do enjoy trying to make a nice group at 50 and 100 yards. Funny thing is, my 15-22 just loves the Federal AutoMatch but my Walther P22QD handgun won't shoot it at all. Just goes to prove your point that one should test one's own firearms to see what works. I get so annoyed when some people say one brand of ammo is junk. Its just junk in that gun, not in all. All my 22's shoot Remington T-Bolts really well and accurately, especially the P22. I have some RWS subsonic hollow point that I want to try at 50 and 100 yards. From some other tests I've seen on YT it does very well in the CZ that it was tested in. You might give it a look if you can find it these days. I'd also like to get some SK Magazine but might have to wait awhile until the ammo shortage eases up. Anyway, thanks again - really enjoyed the vids.

[@coreyd1474]

Glad you liked the video! I do like federal auto match, i haven't shot it recently due to it not available any where i think i've got around 2k rounds of it saved up for a rainy day. And another reason i haven't shot it is because its super sonic. where i shoot now i have to have sub sonic.

Very nice to see someone testing so much different ammo, I did the same thing well over 15 years ago in France when starting Olympic 50m target competition. Out of a Anschutz Match 54 and then later out of a Anschutz 1903 I tested Remington (Golden and Target), Norma, Winchester (T22), Eley (5 different kind), SK (rifle and pistol match) and then a 1.5€ box of CCI standard velocity, CCI beat everything for me, my 1903 would put 10rnd of CCI at 50m like there was only 5 in one tiny hole, and the best surprise was how clean my rifle barrel was after shooting a match, even several matches, not the case with any other of the ammo I tried, worst for Eley and SK. Dude I really like your video, I was looking for .22 comparison out of a 10/22 but you are bringing so much memories, made my day!!

[@coreyd1474]

thats pretty awesome you were an olympic shooter! definitely the first person i've ever "met" who was one. glad you liked the video! Thanks for the comment.

[@julienciampanelli3149]

Olympic is a big word, but most shooting range in France are set for 10-25-50 meters precision and speed target shooting which follow Olympic standards. I started at around 10 years old at 10 meters with air rifles (mostly Feinwerkbau), by 14 I was helping training younger kids while starting 50m competition with an old Match 54 rifle, in high school I switched to the 1907 (not 1903) best .22 rifle I ever shot. You can find some in the US, but fairly rare, I have seen more the Russian counterpart Izhmash (here in Idaho)

Happy I came across your videos. I have a RPR also. I just got mine about a month ago. I have been firing some Winchester bulk with not so good results. 2” at 25 yards. I shot from another box of the same at about 1” at 25 yards again not good. I was starting to think I had a dud for a gun so I picked up some green tag and got 1/4 at 25 yards a bit more what I was looking for. It did it in 5 shot groups over 4 targets so it was very consistent. I have used GT in my match pistol for years and was so happy I tried it.

I like watching your videos. I've been stocking up on 22lr ammo because they're so fun and cheap. Went to my local ammo store many times contemplating on what to buy. I know CCI is good for the money but I've been comparing cost and performance with sk, eley, and Aguila. I can say I'm glad I didn't buy some of the ammo I almost did after watching this. Will be adding Eley Target to my stash. I'd like to see you try the bulk box of Winchester M22 in your next video. Thanks a bunch.

[@lordpaxman]

Thanks for the video and comparison of all the ammo. It's nice to see real groups on paper. When my chrono fails to record shots, I darken the bullet with a black sharpie. Maybe that's why the Eley force did well? (Use the force?) Use the sky screens if it's a shoot through and brighter skies seems to help.

[@coreyd1474]

Maybe it was the day im not sure. Force has actually been the best for me out to distance. ive got groups as low as 1/2 moa at 200 yards and can hit a 12x20 silhouette with every single shot at 350 without running out of dope on the scope. so far at 50 yards after testing each ammo a few more times eley force has a slight edge out of all the ammo. even the super expensive stuff.

[@larryhunt1853]

Corey, great job. I've watched both the 1st part and this second part. Very well done. Kudo's to what I know was a lot of work to produce this video. But I came away with a couple of "I wonder if's". First, I know you shot most of this when it was pretty dang cold outside. So I'm wondering if some of the flyers were due to a "cold" first shot. Barrel temp is one of those hard to define variables. Without monitoring barrel temp it would be difficult to gauge what effect temp played in your tests. Also, I would be very curious as to how "dirty" each of the various brand/types were. I'm sure you probably noticed that certain brands/types were dirtier than others. Again, thank you for your "well done" comparison video. I enjoyed watching it as I'm also interested in the performance of the rifle itself.

[@coreyd1474]

first of all thanks for watching and thanks for the input! Yes, i'm convinced the cold weather had a lot to do with it. i've since then had a few types out again that didn't shoot so well in the original that shot really well. I ended up buying 1000 eley force and 1000 eley target, (which by the way is the best out of this gun.) All 22 is pretty dirty, but i didn't pay close enough attention to see which was more dirtier than others. Once the weather dies down here i'm going to take the best 5 and do a 200 yard video. eley force for me will do 1/2 moa at 200 and shoots very well out to 350. it will do further i just haven't had a chance to go further yet.

[@vincetytler6175]

Appreciate the ammo review, I am a big fan of Eley Force, but will definitely be trying out a box of Federal target grade

The CCI seems to be the best so far for me.

Thanks for all the work you put into testing, just wondering how often you clean the barrel.

[@coreyd1474]

there really isn't a set formula for barrel cleaning. once i start to notice a degradation of accuracy i'll clean it. depending on how but its losing accuracy i'll either run a bore snake through it or take a bore brush and scrub it.

[@thefarguy1802]

Super test on 22 LR ammo , Fe’s thoughts to consider for future testing . How many fouling shots before you shoot from one test group to a another .i found out it’s about 20 shots from copper plated ammo to lead , much less the other way around . Also it’s good to mark the first shot to see if there is a pattern on your first shot / cold barrel shot. Working the torque wrenches on the action screws if the bedding has been done would dramatically change group size , about 3.5 to 6 Newton’s, there are some good tests on KZbin on this ,, measuring the headspace also will eliminate flyers, you will be surprised how many you will find even in a pricy 20$ box of 50 . Same brand , same type , but a different batch will produce different results , 100 meters or yards will highlight the results better , but avoid a windy day . Good luck to your journey in finding the magic 22 , some find it some don’t,

After watching your videos, I ran a test based on your model. I ran every type I could find. Remington, eley, federal, Aguila, norma, cci etc. Out of 35 different rounds at 50 yards it came down to federal hv match, Aguila pistol match and Aguila super extra. Took those 3 out to 100 yards, the cheapest of the three, super extra shot the best. Ruger precision rifle, Nikon bdc rim fire 3 X 9, elevation 4100, 85 degrees, winds calm. Thanks for the idea.

[@coreyd1474]

Yes. I have some eley target on the way so once that comes in ill get the best together and go to 200. Even with force which shoots half moa at 200 that's about as far as it will group consistently. Force will hit my 12x20 silhouette every single shot at 350 (with little wind obviously). Since that ammo hovers right below the supersonic face it doesn't have to transverse the transonic face which 22 destabilizes easy that's why they day ammo in the 1050-1090 fps is optimal

What typically causes a radical flyer like the Federal Hunter match @ 2:25 is often a poorly formed bullet. When the pour includes an air pocket it throws off the balance of the bullet and causes an increasing-radius spiral. As it spins it spirals out further & further with distance.

No competitions in this area yet, but maybe one day. Thanks, Scott

Some of your results are interesting, since to my knowledge SK Rifle and Pistol Match are broadly the same ammunition, apart from a lower velocity in the Pistol Match. Also, Eley Club and Target (labelled as Sport in the UK) are the same ammunition I think, just that the Club are the 'better' batches than the Sport (Target), in theory at least!

ive got most of that ammo out and tested it more in depth. the sk rifle stuff shot pretty well and so did eley club. after all the testing it still shot target the best at 50 and force at 100-400. i've since replaced the barrel with a 20" er shaw barrel and it still shoots target and force pretty well as well as federal white box. haven't got a chance to get it past 200 yet but i was hitting egs on the first shot every time the last time i had it to 200.

I talked to a Federal rep at a match a couple of years ago and he said they make the Auto Match on all new machines. He seemed to think that the new machines had better consistency which produces more accurate ammo. Dunno if it is true but seems to make sense.

I tried Centre-X, Eley Sport and Club and cci mini mag, target rifle and sk match and even as a beginner I was getting under an inch with the occasional flyaway. I will never use Winchester again. The cheapest ammo I’ve bought is $8.50 some are $14 Centre-X I think was $25 it was one of my first to try, I live in Australia. I was just going to ask, do you re zero your rifle when you go from 50 to 100 yards? I have a Simmons scope on my ruger precision I’m still trying to work it out, I find I’m all over the place at 100 and just try to compensate for the distance but can’t get it right, the scope doesn’t click when you turn the knobs and I find it hard as I have to watch as I turn it not listen, I don’t think it has a 0 to be able to reset it easily.

[@coreyd1474]

it depends on what kind of shooting i'm doing. if i'm just out plinking i hold over but if i want to shoot for groups i dial up. But i never change my zero from 50 yards

[@JAFO.]

BTW, the wind will screw with a slower bullet *more* because it has a longer flight time and is in the wind longer. On a windy day you lose the advantages of sub-sonic rounds (

I’d say center-x, sk rifle match, sk pistol match, all need a revisit. Like you said keep shooting groups with the same ammo. I missed the the midas plus group you said did well. I’ll bet you find the rifle is capable of cz accuracy. Cold weather no good for ammo testing .22 unless you plan on skiing and shooting.

[@coreyd1474]

its funny you say that because i was just out cold weather testing last week and velocities were MORE than warm weather and sd's were good but accuracy was lacking for some reason.

[@thebignickster100]

You have to test eley match and tenex. Both are great. Get different lot numbers some can be ok others are extremely accurate. Just don’t use eley edge. Shot a different occasions and different lots. Shots went all over the place, never again.

[@coreyd1474]

I was going to try tenex but changed my mind when i saw what it costs. i dont' figure it will shoot any better than eley target or force which is what i've found to be best for me. target for 50-100 and force for anything further out to 400 so far without running out of dope on the scope. Thanks for the input and thanks for watching!
