22 Rim Fire Ammo Test

1          The Ruger 10/22 had a Lilja heavy match barrel installed – 21 inches long,  and a Volquarsten VX-2500 aluminum stock, and a Leupold 4-12 X scope.

2.         The BRNO 452 ZKM had a match-fluted barrel from Lilja, 25 inches long, sporter weight. We cut the chamber with a match reamer from Dan Green. Scope was a Weaver 4-16.

3.         Anschutz 1808. We replaced the target stock on this rifle with a sporter stock from McMillan. A Hoehn 4000 Plus barrel tuner was also installed, but no attempt was made to tune it for any of the ammunition that we shot. It had the standard factory heavy barrel, 19 inches long.

All the following are the average of 3, 5-shot groups at 50 meters.

One thing I have learnt from running this test, and that is the incredible inconsistency with all of the ammo tested, except the ELEY TENEX.

You get one group that goes into one ragged hole about a third of an inch, and the next one is spread over 5 times that area. You can hear different reports from each round, as some of them go supersonic. Some of them have wax over most of the brass case, which got into the chamber, causing some cases to stick, this required frequent cleaning of the chamber. We cleaned the rifles barrels before the test, but no cleaning was done in between.

 

4. BRNO 452 ZKM HB, it has a 21 inch barrel.

5. Ruger 10/22, with a 16.5 inch carbon barrel.

6. Browning Gold Medalion, with a 22 inch barrel.
