22lr velocity test

[johntheplinker]

I picked up 5 different types of 22lr to test hopefully by spring if not sooner.

I'll run them through my 10/22 which is the same as the past tests I've done.

I'm also going to run the Punch, and Norma Eco through my TX22 also for velocity, and functionality.

Yes, let us know!

I tested these four today. 50yds.


Here is chronograph information.





Here is my setup.
10/22 with 2-7x Vortex Rimfire scope.


Here are the 10 shot groups for the four different loads.






The Norma Tac-22 I believe has the best potential of the four accuracy wise. With a 7 power scope at 50yds its probably going to be tough to get a better group at least for me.

Notice the Norma Eco rd I put in picture. It rammed into the magazine instead of loading. That was the only major problem today with the different ammunition.

I plan on buying a Ruger American Rimfire or a Savage FV-SR at some point and putting a more powerful scope on it to see just how accurate these loads are.

My 10/22 is my varmint hunting rifle and I don't want more than what it has on it scope wise.

Let me, and others know how your rifle did with these loads as well.

Hope this was helpful.

I assumed after seeing the extreme spread numbers that the Norma Tac-22 was going to do the best.

Well documented, and nice write up @DadSmith

The Tac 22 was really good. 8 shots 0.8"
The two flyers could have been me. I felt like I got good shots off for all 10.
As I stated a more powerful scope would have let me see how much movement I was actually doing at 50yds.

Here is a close up of that Norma Eco rd that took a nose dive into my magazine. It was the only one to do so.
