I recently traded back for a 22 rifle I owned in my youth, a Charles Daily Superior ||, better known as the Zastava MP22. This rifle left a unhealthy view in my young head of how accurate a 22 rifle should be, and I’ve never found another I was happy with. I may have shed a happy tear on the way home from buying it back.
Anyway. Writing a article featuring this rifle and was doing some ammo testing.
I tested 4 types of cheap ammo, firing 5, 5 shot groups With each at 25 yards from a rest, in temps that were reading minus 14.
The ammo that really disappointed me was the Federal Champion bulk pack ammo. Ive shot countless bricks of this ammo as a kid and it used to be quite good. Unfortunately, this ammo seems to have came downhill in quality, as my average group size was a measly 2.211”
However the other three ammos I tried, all produced great results with a 15 group average of .434”. The Remington thunderbolt ammo really surprised me shooting a average of .504”.
I also have a couple bricks of Canadian imperial ammo, which I have always thought was complete crap. The cases will split on most shots, often times rupturing the rim, and spitting gas back into your face. However, on paper it proved to be the best ammo, shooting a average of .386” and the smallest overall group of .216”

). i kept them for squirrels. remington, winchester, federal box bullets(500 pcs) were for anything else. i have a ruger 10/22 that is around 2" at 50 yards. a 36gr federal hp is what i use now. when thats done, then its a remington bullet and finally a winchester.
