.22LR Range Fun

[doddg]

2nd range visit with a "new" SW 22A-1 (pic below).

Used Aguila SE SV 1130 FPS, SLN again.

Row 1 was free hand at 21'.
I rarely bother with free hand anymore, so I was glad I didn't do worse.
Row 2 &3 on a rest at 21' with the expected 100% on 1.75" circles.
Row 4 at only 15' just for fun, trying to see if I could get a cloverleaf.


I don't use these 7/8" circles with iron sights, but I wanted to use up this target.
Did OK, but I don't know why the POI was 1/2" - 1" to the right on the 3/8" circles at the bottom???
Strange, since I was using the same ammo & cleaned it after only 110 rds last range visit?
This was after 165 rds today, being the last 5 rds I put through it.

Just an old country boy with a gravel pit. but is sure fun, midnight 22 shooting at beer bottles filled with gas and a lit wick at 100 yards

Got my TX22 out yesterday. Has a Romeo1 red dot and used Federal Automatch bulk ammo resting on a bag. Forgot how much fun this could be.

These targets are 3” with the inner yellow circle being 1” diameter. (Reshot cardboard)


Had a few rounds of Tenex Pistol that I used up, nice group of 5 with the one flyer.

Another few rounds with the 617 revolver and CCI std. vel. , an older lot I've had around for quite a while. Firing 6 shots at 25 yards. A couple of better groups this time , going to try some Mini Mags next time and some other brands of std. vel.

I paid $970 back in March 2024 at Brownells, $1077 out the door.
I did see them for $940 somewhere else, after I ordered mine.
Best I've seen this so far is this at Rural King.
Since you don't have to pay FFL fees, just a $12 transfer to a local R.K., it saves a tad more.

Round 3 with the scoped 617 from a rest at 25 yards. A few 6 shot groups with Eley Target and then a 12 shot with CCI Mini Mag. I have fired some good target scores with the Mini Mag before and had a feeling it would group fairly well. Wish I had a Ransom Rest to take my shakiness out of the equation . Will try some 50 yards tests before putting the Vortex Venom back on again for free handed shooting.

Nice shooting! My shakiness make a hand gun target look like it was shot with 00 buck. I shoot 8 inch steel plate racks mainly for fun.

Took out the seldom fired Charger with KIDD barrel and trigger. Had an older Burris scope I bought on eBay that needed to go on something and it is perfectly suited for use on the Charger. A few 25 yards groups of 5 shots and one with 10 shots. Will be testing some at 50 yards next time.

Nice shooting! With CCI Standard Velocity even!
