22 WMR REMINGTON. 33GRN ACU TIP

[Overlay]

But doesnt hit as hard.
To the OP: quit cleaning your barrel! that screws with accuracy. The ammo selection depends on the particular rifle.I gave up the HMR in favor of the WMR.-Muir

Yeh
Thanks Muir
I normally just periodically have a pull through then shoot it back in if needed, this time around I tried most ways, cleaned, semi fouled, shot 50 rounds to get run up, it just wouldn’t pull in any way I tried, I know it’s not the barrel that’s fine, it wasn’t until I changed to a different pack of ammo with different manufacture number than the previous batch

Cheers

Phil

What folk shoot with either over here won't make any meaningful difference.

Hi SD It's a blaser mate, first lot I purchased were fine, I knew about the expansion on the Hornady, I found that in my old WMR on knockdown, I think I’ll get some RWS and Federal if I can I’ll keep yer posted

I know nothing about blaser.

I chronoed my CZ with Hornady 30 grain at 2350 ft/sec. My HMR was 2520 ft/sec with a 17 grain bullet.
Rabbits at 100 yards couldn' tell the difference. -Muir

All I know is Muir, is that from experience I can make longer shots with the 17. None is better. Just one is flatter.
We don't have coyote just fox.
We don't have coon, just squirrels.
Fox run often after shot and pretty much the same distance with any of the rimfire rounds including LR.

When I was using wmr I was quite impressed with hornady 25gn ntx but my all time favourite was CCI maxi mag plus V.
The old Winchester 40gn I snapped up when a saw some and rws. They had good exposed lead tips which in my opinion, again based on experience, made some difference

The hornady 30 v max tended to zip through. Recovered bullets showed little to no expansion so in reality, did not hit harder at all.
Similar were the Remington offerings also.

They would rake a fox though, which is good. Just don't expect the expansion one may usually associate with v max bullets.
My rifles were cz 452, Savage and a Mauser.
Regards.

Is "Muir has eight" good reason? Should be!

That means Muir is a collector. It doesn't define the round.

Guys
What ammunition you all using, I have just finished a batch Remington started a new lot exactly the same they’re shooting like shotgun all over the place nearest 2 rounds 1” apart at 70 mtrs no wind no nothing, cleaned the rifle tried it, run few through t, quick pull through, still the from 3 separate boxes Any suggestions / better ammo

Would dump the Remington stuff and get some real premium ammo for it Say a box of the very best three brands and see what works , not sure whats about now . I only do 22LR in Rimfire Subsonic and HV after that its handloads .22 Hornet and up

I use all my WMRs as the mood takes! Frankly, i dont use them on game like coyote as larger chamberings are just fine in the open areas of Montana...
I have hed a different experience with the Hornady 30 grain classic. At 25 yards it blows up rabbits and hollows out same like a canoe at 90 yards. Prairie dogs are messed up to 125 yards. For 100 to two hundred yards i use the 5mm Remington Magnum Rimfire when im sure the shots will be that far. (Or I cant get closer) -Muir

After having made sure all screws are tight, the scope isn't at fault, and you've cleaned with carbon remover in the chamber / start of the lands area, to remove carbon, use a cleaning rod ( even if it's a semi auto), then try some CCI 30 grain V - Max.
In my HK300 I've had 1/2" 5 shot groups at 100 yards on a few occasions.

I’ll give the CCI a go .
