[@stephenburton3829]

Hey there..probably a bunch of people that said this.. clean your rifle :) also, 'target' ammo typically runs at about 1050 fps. Everything else you used in the video except the stingers runs btw 1250 and 1280 fps. Stingers run at 1600 ish fps. This is why your groups are all shooting high except for the Norma. Want some ammo acccuracy? Try and find some Aguila 40gr copper plated "super extra" ammo after you get things cleaned. I have a bunch of .22.s bolt/lever/semi-auto. I have used everything you demonstrated in this video except the norma. Aguila out performs all of these in all of my .22 LR firearms, especially my CZ's. Aguila is my goto brand..period. The low velocity of the Norma, in a dirty 10/22 is sure to lead to FTE issues. Good luck, and keep on making enjoyable vids.

[@bestestusername]

I run a bore snake through my 22 every few hundred roundswith a spray bore cleaner and it hold super accuracy

Love to see the CZ with same ammo but honestly I’d be more interested in seeing the same rifle shot again after a deep clean. For science!

[@DavidN23Skidoo]

This is good information! Don't be disappointed! I have kids at our range events that commonly hit clay pigeons on the 100 yard berm using CCI ammo. The really good ones figure out that the bullets impact on the first dot below the center of the reticle and then they break the pieces. I was impressed with the Super X, because we have more trouble with that ammo running a semi-auto than is acceptable for our educational events; usually with not chambering well. The Stingers are awesome, and that tight grouping shows that CCI does a fine job of quality control on that line. On cleaning a 22, I do it frequently, not to have a clean bore, but to have a clean chamber, so the next round will chamber and eject easily. Keep up the good work!

[@sonsofthunder3100]

I'm sure you know more about this stuff than I do. Others said clean the rifle, that should help. I thought when you were sitting the Norma ammo, with the failures to load, when you went back to the rest the barrel was resting on the front of the rest and not the stock/grip. That's when your groups started opening up to me. Great videos! I've enjoyed watching!

[@jaykay9695]

Hey, Thanks for the video. It's recommended to shoot a minimum of 20 rounds of the ammo you are going to be shooting to condition the bbl to the lub. I wouldn't worry about cleaning it. Yes the "match and some target" ammo will not work the action of a semi-auto without a weaker recoil spring/bolt. Most of the ammo has the vel on the box. Thanks again for taking the time to put this on youtube.

[@davidabernathy4553]

Well now that was a interesting video, and in my opinion for cheap bulk ammo that Remington golden I think did a pretty good group considering 100 yards the distance. Maybe if you would clean your barrel you could tighten groups up a whole lot better.

[@larrytmmons4219]

I would try again and move the stock on the rest instead of the barrel maybe it is but hard to tell, thanks for sharing WTW.

[@chriss1151]

You know, I don't think a 10/22 has a floated barrel but I was wondering the same thing you were about resting the stock and not the barrel. My conversion went from plastic stock with a barrel band to the overmolded stock with no barrel band and just the action screw holding it all together so I may test groups with barrel rest and stock rest now. Also the torque on the action screw could play a part in better groups.

[@gordonpeden6234]

Interesting comparison. I did the same a few years back but used "Sub Sonics" they shoot a tighter group, and i used a bolt action it's amazing how the different brands perform and there's no rhyme or reason. One rifle prefers one brand over another. It Looks like the Ruger prefers the last two you tried. Love your work!

[@NC-xk1eg]

Prefer: 1) No wind 2) Cleaned rifle 3) Same weight bullets My .22"s print a big difference between 40 grainers (my favorite) & 36 grainers. CCI & Aguila make so many different bullets in .22 caliber...Maybe a fun test would be shooting ALL of their respective ammos from the same rifle at 100 yards? We DO appreciate all that you do. Your public loves you brother.

[@harrycombs2724]

I ran the same test using a Anschutz 1761 D HB Classic and the KIDD .22LR Supergrade Premium Rifle topped with a Hawke Vantage 4-12x40 on both rifles. The CCI Standard velocity was the consistent winner in the cheap ammo and the Eley Tenex EPS .22 LR Ammo for the expensive stuff. The CCI was almost as good as the Eley at 50 yards. At 100 the Eley was much more consistent but the groups were sub MOA and just over in part because of a windy Tennessee day. Remington Thunder Bolts were all over the paper at 50 which were the worst I tested. Some didn't even fire so I wouldn't waste my money on those. Norma match was good but no better than the CCI. My best 5 shot group at 50 yards was .190" with Eley Tenex with the Anschutz.

[@keithfreeman5204]

22's are dirty. Go to the range, get home, CLEAN your firearms. Take 100 rounds of 22 ammo, set up a scale, weigh the rounds, three groups, Light, average, and Heavy. Generally, I find 3-4 heavy, 8-10 light, and finally, about 80% are in the middle. With doing the weighing you can get much better over all consistent groups. It's frustrating to have a 4 shot group, all holes touching, then one "flyer" 2-3 inches out. Weighing the days ammo I get 5 shot groups with all holes touching. 10-22, International, shooting CCI 40 RN, that have been weighed, 10 shot groups at 50 yds. ONE HOLE.

A friend got a 10/22 the other day that doesn't have sight or a barrel band and only cost about $200.00. He sighted it in with a fixed 4 power scope at 50 with the Federal Match and was getting 3/4 inch groups. Now his Ruger American .22LR bolt action will drive tacks without any issues.

CCI Standard Velocity has treated me well in bolt guns, but the slightly faster stuff like the Winchester Super X has been good in autos.

[@VTPSTTU]

Thanks for an interesting video. My 10/22 doesn't cycle well using anything by Winchester. I noticed that your rifle had some problems with Winchester as well. However, I think you'd have a great group with the Winchester if you sighted the rifle for that ammunition. The CCI ammunition seemed to give the best combination of accuracy and reliability. My sense has always been that CCI is high quality ammunition. I hope that they can get production going again soon and that prices will become more reasonable. I like the Remington Golden Bullets. I know that they didn't do all that well, but I enjoy shooting with them.

[@aricheath3670]

When testing ammo. in a 22LR, I was taught to shoot 25 of each in the dirt before testing each. The reason is because each has a different lube that needs to "season" to bore. Norma Match and most match 22lr is 1080FPS or just bellow the sound barrier so you don't get transonic (supersonic to subsonic) in flight. This makes this kind of ammo. more accurate at all ranges. At least that's what I was taught. Some semi-auto 22's don't cycle with match ammo., yours did better then most. Yes to the CZ!! And thank you for all the hard work it takes to make these videos, I was out with a KZbinr when they made a video, it take much more then we see.

For a stock 10-22 those groups really aren’t all that bad at 100yds. The majority of people shoot 50-60 yds and under with 22s, so you could cut those groups in half. Second, for a stock trigger those groups are still pretty good for 100yds. I have several 10-22s and not one has the stock trigger. I have a couple with the BX triggers and the rest have Hornet triggers ( shout out to him, great triggers at fair prices on eBay.) the triggers make a world of difference to be sure. This vid certainly does show the vast variance in 22 ammo in a great way. Pretty much find one or two your gun likes and stay with them as to not need to sight in every time. Of the rugers I have , no two are the same in ammo preference, a few are close enough to share but I put a sticker on what likes what. Close enough for hunting and fun , none are target rifles to be sure. Great vid WTW, keep em coming!

[@chriss1151]

I was shooting groups of rem thunderbolts and cyclones at 50yds and the cyclones were half inch groups with the thunders closer to an inch. Moved out to 75yds the next day and the wind was gusting 10+mph .. groups were all over the place except when the gusts would die down. I have more ammo to try out soon and hope to find a real performer even with some variable wind gusts out to 75yds ..100 yds and wind is not your friend with a 22lr. I'm shooting a Ruger 10/22 with a Hogue overmold stock and a Burris Droptine 3-9x40mm built for 22lr with focus at 50yds. Looooove this little rifle although I haven't had it out much yet. I have popped some squirrels last year that made a great dinner at camp. That was with the plastic factory stock and a combo deal scope that came with it and had a blurry focus at full power. Now with the new stock and new scope it feels like a rifle and shoots like a champ. I run a boresnake through it twice after every 50 to 100rds I guess. Lucas extreme duty clp. stuff smells kinda like the Manns grape jelly worms I loved bass fishing with as a boy. Love that smell.

A couple of those are not bad groups with a 22 at 100 yards. I’ve always been a fan of CCI Stingers and MINIMAGS. I also like Winchester Hi Velocity HP.

[@charlievanlandingham567]

Haven't cleaned my 10-22 in i couldn't tell you how long. Even when it was cleaned after a few jams from the Goldens and the thunderbolts I refuse to shoot anything other than cci when it counts .

[@chriss1151]

Them thunders are dirty and will even blow powder in your eye when the case ejects. grrrr. Accuracy hasnt been to bad with them though and very rarely a failure to eject. Rem cyclones are my current squirrel bullets as my rifle seems to like them better but I am still buying and trying new ammo. I have tried cci on the same day as the cyclones and thunders and the cyclones absolutely outshined cci and winchester.

[@tony636able]

I think its your point of aim from the rest instead of the ammo because your groups are constant.

[@kirkmarrie8060]

SO FRIGGIN COOL!!!

[@anon8429]

Since that's a bone stock gun, you should do a trigger job on it. Ruger rimfire triggers are horrendous. I did trigger jobs on 2 10/22's last week. I didnt check them with a trigger scale but 1 felt like the pull was around 8 lbs 🤣 My 77/22 was just as bad. Did a trigger job on it, helped tremendously!

I’m puttin in my vote for a post gun cleaning ammo re-match!

[@grahamhicks8446]

I shot competitive on a college scholarship in college. I rarely cleaned my bolt action anscutz 2013. High velocity cheap ammo is never reliable. You probably can’t get as accurate groups with a semi auto with high velocity. Shoot a bolt action with standard velocity if you want a group. I love your videos and know you are cheap, but spend some money on some Eley, Lapua, or some Federal and see what your gun is capable of.

I have a 10/22 ser # 17399 that I got for my birthday in 1964, does well @ 70 yards with the hot loads, transonic kills it at the 100 yard range about 4 “ groups. The standard velocity will do about 2” consistently @ 100 yards .

[@seanomeirs8362]

Thanks for the video. Coppering, leading, and power fouling, could be the cause of that erratic performance. I get my 10/22 barrel acclimated to 50-60 rounds of the same ammo, after a thorough cleaning, before I take the accuracy potential seriously.

[@bajadan6441]

Very realistic now i know what to shoot out of my always dirty 10-22

[@robertduncan2742]

Hello another great video, what's your scope your using if possible, also a part number or what's the closest to it. Thanks

[@michaelinman8]

Action screw torque really does matter with accuracy on the 10/22. I didn’t think it would matter but it did lol. Mine is shooting way better at 25 inch lbs.

[@trustonlyline4206]

Love the videos. I say clean the gun and run a rod then wait for a better day. Sight in with some hotter stuff so most will be center of plate. I am happy to revisit these videos and see improvement. Your videos are really fun videos, but I am ok with getting serious and figuring stuff out and in the end you know what ammo your 1022 loves and let us know what we should be able to do with our 1022’s

[@williamphillips7068]

We used to shoot ground squirrels at 140 yds with cci stingers. Bolt action model 52 Winchester action behind an A.W. Patterson bull barrel

[@robertstinnett8713]

Better luck next time. Looking forward to the next one.

[@randalbigirvirvin1153]

Love the 22lr.

[@markwhite6782]

I've done a similar study with my 10/22. Nothing comes close to Federal Gold Medal Match but at $23 per box you can have them, All others including Remington, Federal, CCI and Winchester were compared. CCI mini Mags were my best. Your milage may vary because each barrel has their own favorite.
