Based on my testing of 20+ boxed/bulk ammo in several factory 10/22, Take Down, new 10/22 Collector #3 and new T/CR22 (Along with GSG 1911 22LR), I think the following is capable of producing more consistent smaller groups (Around 1/2" single hole core groups instead of scatter group):This is what I currently have:
- CCI Standard Velocity - Smallest consistent groups
- Aguila Sniper Subsonic - I shot Aguila 40 gr Lead RN which produced slightly larger groups than CCI SV
- Blazer - Boxed, not loose bulk pack, has produced consistent small groups with less flyers
- Federal Automatch - For my test rifles, Automatch produced smallest of "scatter" compared to other "bulk" ammo
- Federal Bulk 38gr HP - While did not produce great groups for 10/22, produced surprisingly consistent small groups for T/CR22
While I captured many 10 shot groups at 25/50 yards, this composite target should give a good comparison between different ammo brands/types out of T/CR22 for reference (Yes, ammo selection DOES make a big difference for producing smaller groups, especially 10 shot groups ... Many of these 10 shot groups started out as tight 5 shot groups ).
