100 yard .22LR groups.

[Blacklab]

I like this thread 

The average yards for me is 40 to 50. Nothing special bulk ammo standard 10/22 scoped. Group size on a guess would be around 1 to 1 1/2 inches. Camping this weekend might have to pay more attention.

I can shoot .50 cent sized groups with mine at 100 yards, scoped shooting prone.  I have shrunk that down on the bench.  Shooting Eley 10x with my Anschutz.

Anschutz makes a great .22.... CZ does too.

with my Remington .22 I only sighted in at 50 yards and I wasn't happy until I was at a 1" group, that said at my ~100 yard shot I was within a 3" to 4.5" group on a good day with a solid rest

depends on the tools, Ive had pistols that can shoot dimes at 100, and rifles that need a pie plate

Dime sized groups out of a .22lr pistol at 100 yards??

Post this question on RimfireCentral.com....   You'll get varying answers.  100yd MOA with other than target ammo is not the norm for a 22LR shooting out of doors. Indoors is different. You'd be surprised.  That said, most target 22 is standard velocity and will have a drop of +3.5 inches if sighted at 0 for 50yds... Wind drift is your enemy.

Benelli  It would outshoot my 10/22 without trying

World Cup?

I shot 100yds for the heck of it a couple years ago.
My CZ 452 Varmint with a trigger that's....light....and its' favorite flavor Wolf Target Match ammo was right at an inch.
Best I could do.
I have some new ammo I'd like to try.

That's an extra good Benelli. (assume you're talking about an MP95 or MP90) I have shot several of them that will hold .5moa at 50yds, and several Hammerli's that will do the same. Pardini's not as good. But dime sized groups at 100yds from any standard velocity 22 rimfire is exceptional. -Again, Wind drift is your enemy.
 
John, if you've got a Benelli, then why are you not competitive in winter Bullseye league at Custer? Contact me after hunting seasons if you're in the area and want to strut your stuff.

  The rifles my friend Ron S. builds will not chamber standard ammo neither will my remington.
its the 10-20 bucks a box of 50 or no shoot. Jack is correct, WIND!!!!!!! even a breath of.

Also, try not cleaning the barrel.  Some shoot better dirty because the lead and other fouling needs to fill in the barrel imperfections before it starts shooting well.  Co-worker has a .22 he never cleans, shoots 1" or better all day.  As soon as we cleaned the barrel the one time, group opened up to 4".

There's a lot to be said for a 'fowling shot' before actuall shooting for group/score, but 'never' cleaning isn't 'normally' the answer. A GOOD barrel, will shoot better when it is clean.

When you shoot competition you religiously clean your .22 after every match.  They always give you a sighting target before you shoot for score, which is always timed.  This is when you take your fouling shots.  If you never clean your gun, as dirty as .22 ammo can be it will effect your accuracy in many cases.  To much build up is not a good thing.

This is the rifle I shot in competition.  Anschutz 1913.  It used to love shooting the Fiochi Green.  Then went to the gold.  And when I changed barrels it like Lapua.  In my prime with iron sites when I could see really well it was capable of dime sized groups at 100 yards.  I shot usually 2-3, 100 yard matches every year, but most of the time it was 50 meters and I usually could keep a 5 shot group around 0.24 - 0.27 at 50 meters.

When I shot a prone match last year after taking about 8 years off I shot about a .50 cent group in prone with some CCI standard velocity ammo.  I was bouncing all over the place.  On a bench it still will shoot a dime at 100 yards given little to no wind or bad mirages.
