Really ? How accurate roughly?
IMO you need several 5 shot groups at a rangefinder confirmed 100 yards- at which point I will get very excited. IME you're doing well if you can get below 3" at this range.

If you're talking about SS HP, no it's not possible. In a string of 10 shots, there will be flyer or two, usually markedly lower MV and thus dropping 5 or even 10 centimeters below the main group. And there is no consistent way of sorting the ammo.
Consistent MOA should be possible when everything is aligned (top notch gun, conditions, shooter, rests, shooting procedure and selected top tier ammo).
Sadly the understanding of 'average' has turned into 'best ever when all the planets aligned and indoors'

Exactly. For every 1" 100 yard group most people get with their gun- they get a 5" one too
Last time I did it less than 25 mm at 100 on a still day
Brian Litz is doing some studies at the moment, trying to determine why flyers occur when Doppler Radar says B.C and MV are within tolerance.
Listened to a podcast recently featuring ACE Barrels (who made barrels exclusively for VooDoo until recently). A lot of work went into determining the exact internal dimensions and twist rate. Being pure lead, the 22lr bullets are quite sensitive to this.
Would assume the Olympic 22LR rifle and pistol makers have cracked this but they are not shooting 'long range' for the most part.
No, you are missing the point and need to try long range .22.

There are some exceptionally good shots with their .22 rimfires. At Bisley I recently watched a lady shooting her .22 with peep sights, jacket and sling, hit within an inch of the bull at 300 yds. She struggled to carry away all the trophies that she won.

The Olympics is calling, 3 position shooting at 50m with a match rifle must be easy then, no?
heres are some i did with mt 22lr tikka t1x all standard, tested loads of different bullets, all subs and cci subs and eley subs came out on top the same, Winchesters a close 3rd, probably got some better
groups but no photos,
CZ LRP, rubber covered beech stock so not a true synthetic. Very accurate I shoot mine out to 300 yards in the spring-autumn period, SK rifle match ammo.
My .25 impact is probably the most accurate gun at 100 5 shot group

A couple of years old now, standard Sako Quad, Eley Tenex (two different batches), 50m.
First target, first and last groups ten rounds all others five rounds. Gives a good idea of average group size and therefore consistency. No one group wonders or best evers.
After the shooter the ammunition is the biggest deciding factor on accuracy/grouping/consistency, a good rifle helps.

Brilliant. But IME groups can really open up on 22LR at 100 yards. Disproportionately so. Any idea of group size for 100 yards ?

Interesting. They generally seemed to jump up a lot more from 75-100 than they do 50-75
Bottom right is a v respectable group for 100
Cam I not get these new?
