I live on an island in southeast Alaska. VERY difficult to get good ammo. I finally got some SK standard it was ok. But not like a Vudoo shoot shoot. Well I found Lapua long range, bought 3 boxes shipped to family in lower us. When I finally got it my very first 10 shot group 1 ”round” hole smaller than a dime. I’m so excited to get some center x and rest of Lapua. Question what scope? And power. Thank you
I always had great luck using cci stinger rounds out of my Marlin model 60 and in all honesty that gun would shoot anything very well. Extremely accurate for a $75 dollar .22 Lr that was bought for me in 1981
Bullet trace. Watch again, it was messing with my eyes as well. With most the groups landing left of center when most flyers went high/center it crossed the horizontal plane and was visually apparent. At least that what I think it was.
I have a rim x with a proof research 18” pre fit barrell and it prefers the lapua center x over ealey, cci, sk match and a few others. I can consistently shoot sun 1/2” groups at 100 yards. I shot a crow at 284 yards on first shot two weeks ago.
My indoor range is only 25 yrds, I'm getting nickel size groups with my (22lr.) Tippmann Arms AR-M422 w/bipod on bench and Holosun 403r 2moa dot and Holosun 3X magnifier (all metal construction Very nice M4) . Like your second group,( l've only used CCI mini mag solid copper coated 1235) for a beginner I think that's pretty good. With my AR 556 I noticed the same thing after cleaning the bore, it took 10 shots to get back the accuracy, I didn't know that was going to happen after cleaning, guess you need some copper on the lands for the bullet to grab on too , after that, I was getting 1/2" groups with the Primary Arms 1x6 ACSS reticle it's not a precision type scope more of a battle type scope with a chevron arrow , for a beginner I guess happy with that. Can't wait to take them to the outdoor range !
I ran the same test [RimX, 16.5" Proof, throws SK RM at 1080@70F] and found that the LR threw fliers [repeated to confirm] and SLR wanted to put them in one hole. POI [50yd] was no different between them or with the SK RM [for which my rifle is zeroed]. So, I suppose, for my rifle...like Midas+, SLR shoots better than SK RM--but not $14 more-dollars-a-box-better. The LR was lights-out in a buddies Savage(!), so to every rifle its own. It's nice to have options, so thanks for the review.
There's several different types you can see in my video here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Wem7WHkVRn8.html. That's the Seb NeoX and it's about $2000 and a year or more wait.
LOL that dry fire @11:29 nice trigger control just a tiny squeak of moment what trigger pull weight do you run must be super light? Some great groups good shooting.
John how do you like the Shilen Ratchet Barrel and how far have you stretch it out to I’m thinking about building a Benchrest 22lr single shot with that barrel was just wondering
Just me but if i were checking out a new ammo id shoot all of one at both ranges then switch. Changing ammo no matter which manufacturer is going to cause some discrepancy. But as fast as you were racking them through at 50 i saw some different scope positioning. Good shooting either way.
If I understand what your'e asking, I'd probably say it's because the user has control in the loading process so it usually comes down to taking time to find the best ammo for your particular barrel. And of course lightweight bullets are more affected by conditions so that is a thing to consider too. Everything about 22lr makes it more challenging at distance compared to a centerfire.
Great video. What grain weight were the 2 bullet offerings???? The velocity sure seems slow for a long range round. But that is what I ask what the bullet weights were for the lapua ammo. Agulia has a 30 gr offering that is moving at 1700+ FPS !!! Wich is great to hunting & self defense. But for Long range you would think they would use a 50 to 65 gr bullet and try to push it at 1200 to 1500 FPS. ??????
Was checking 5 lots of that Lapua Long Range in Bergara 14R with ECTuner v2 - looking for the tightest group before tuning. Had a 11mm wide& 15mm high one. Next weekend I will try out what the tuner is able to do.
A lot of the competition level lead 22s have some kind of lube. Lapua/SK typically have more of a waxy type lube and Eley has more of an oily one. If affect how they shoot if you swap between lubes without letting them break in a little.
I'm sorry but I don't have any info on the builder. I bought that unit used from someone who had the work done in Texas somewhere. The stock is a Dima and my local gunsmith did the work for that.
I liked them was not a fan of the price per box but not a bad 22lr ammo now the snb club gave us better stats , and was 1/2 the cost and easier to get more of .
Beat me to it. I also have some lots that I am testing. The initial Lapua Long Range testing is going well. Not sure if Super Long Range will do better enough to justify the cost difference. I'm curious as to how your chronograph speeds compare to the box speed (i'm seeing 1100 fps in 70 degree weather). Can you give the numbers of the boxes you tested? You can take the first 2 digits on the box and put a 3 in front of it to get the test barrel velocity in m/s and then convert to ft/s.
I have another video that is cute up where I actually shot a match at 200 yards and it did exceptionally well with the super long range. I’ll post that one up later today or tomorrow. I’ll send you the data on my boxes.
Both lots are 334m/s so it’s good to see both we’re pretty darn close to each other. 334mps equals 1095fps so they were definitely shooting slower than the box. It was about 40 degrees out.
Hey John love your channel... that rifle would shoot better given to the right hands. Watched many videos, it doesn't perform nearly as well as my DPGunworks rifle. Suggest sending it to Kenny from Eagle Eye Shooting and let him do his magic
I think SK Rifle Match & SK Long Range perform better that Lapua Long Range & Supper Long Range the cost is significantly less with all the SK AMMO . THE FIRST TIME I shot SK LONG range in my Anschutz MPR 64 at 200yds with a Weaver t-36 my first 5 rds were in a 21/2” circle and for me I was amazed as the Eley match I was using was not that good ie (neither were lot tested). When I tried to order the lot of SK LONG RANGE IT WASN’T available 🥴
Wow...I need a robot to hold my gun too! Maybe you can get one to pull the trigger for you as well. LOL! Who would have thought "joy-stick" shooting, Not impressed!
Different strokes for different folks, but that's F-Class for ya. I'm not a fan of this competition style, but it does isolate the shooter (less variance) for equipment testing.
The thing is, when you need to take a shot, you won’t be able to fire 30 rounds to find your zero. You need to be able to hit on the first shot. You’ll have to go with the round that is consistent for your rifle but even then your gun won’t be as accurate on the first shot. That’s why you won’t get amazing first-shot results out of a .22 rimfire and will need to go with a better caliber. That being said, the first grouping was very impressive for a .22! Even at only 50 yards! Nice job!
