Forgive me if I'm posting in the wrong place. My subject is ammunition, and there is no ammunition forum.
Today I shot my Smith & Wesson SW22 Victory for the second time. It is a humbling experience, because tiny .22 holes have to be much closer together than .45 holes to make one big flattering hole. Anyway, I was shooting from 7 yards, using the finest ammunition available: Remington Golden Bullets. Yes, I am a big spender.
This may be a stupid question, but should I get better ammunition to practice at this distance? I got a few flyers, and my assumption is that I caused them, but if it's the ammo, I could go off on a wild goose chase, trying to fix shooting problems I don't actually have.
My goal is to land nearly every shot within a 1" circle at 7 yards. I know the gun will do it, and I'm pretty sure I can do it if I practice a little bit, but I won't get anywhere if the ammo won't do it.
Golden Bullets are cheap, and I can tell most of them will go into a 1" circle if you do things right, so I had hopes they would perform well enough for my purpose.
