Comparing 22LR ammo out of my Henry . . .
See pic below.
Shooting off a sandbag, at 25 yards, with my Henry lever action, in 22LR, with scope and holding on the center of the target, fifteen shots each. Top left is CCI standard velocity. Top right is Blazer Center is American Eagle. Bottom right is Federal Champion. All did well save for the CCI Standard Velocity which grouped about an inch or two below the aiming point. Range master came in while I was shooting. Said "That looks like a fun gun to shoot." He is right. Life is good. Prof Young |

That Federal looks to be doing a good job.

Yes and . . .
Yes, Federal had the fewest flyers. I was pretty well stabilized but some of the flyers could be me and not the ammo.

Note: if you really want to wring the most out of your gun, at a somewhat affordable price, get some Eley Target Std. Velocity ammo and shoot a couple of groups with that stuff. That's Eley's most economical brand and it shoots great out of every gun I own. |
