[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3076974, member: 5412"] I was waiting on someone to comment on this, and your the .22 shooter with the guns that can prove this. Way back in the day I bought some .22 long Target that was about 1100 fps. It was tack driving ammo in a Glenfield 35 carbine I think it was. (too lazy to walk to the barn to check) Cheap $35 rifle NIB when Gibsons went out of business in the late 70's. I don't shoot for tiny groups, instead, shoot steel challenge for a hit anywhere, and minute of angle for armadillo's. On another forum we had a shooting contest for rimfires using the honor system to shoot targets and post pics for bragging rights awhile back. Man, my Hv stuff I always shoot was not tack driving. I did buy some of the Federal Match in the 50 round box to shoot, and the groups shrank tremendously. (talking 3/4" down to 1/4" at 25 yds.) Not up to your standards but it brought to mind why? I have to compare it to weights and speeds vs twist? In centerfire there is that break point in velocity vs bullet length, vs vs bullet design vs twist that makes all the difference in the world for accuracy. I think most of us just consider the .22RF as a utility round and don't consider what it takes to be an accurate round? [/QUOTE]
