I found that right around 14-16x was the max magnification I can use. Any higher than that & I can watch my heart beat in the cross-hairs which is just too distracting for me.
OP
5 rounds of Eley at 50 yards.
I need to get the 0 closer next, then work to see what the repeatability is with the suppressor.
If I get the time this week, I will work on my dope to 250 (max I have readily access too). But I think I have a contender.

Ahh the expensive stuff lol.

I’ll use the CCI Standard for fun, and this for Competition.
I’m ready getting ready for the matches. I think NRL Match is my future too.
It’s 22 for 50 rounds, but considering I was paying 22+ for 20 rounds of 6.5 CM

Nice, I just snagged 3K cci sv. I have been shooting geco with great results for cheap ammo.
I'm very interested in giving it a try too (my CZ is my avatar). Just have no clue what I'm getting into. Would like to do some kind of mock match for fun so I can get some experience before I just show up to a match.

I just googled it and found it for $17.60 a box. Find a free shipping code and you're good to go. Some brands I want to try are lapua center x, lapua midas+, wolf match, sk rifle match.
OP
I have some other Match ammo, if you want to shoot sometime, I’ll bring some ammo to try, I need to mess with my FVSR some more again and see what I can do with it.
OP
I have 2 flavors of Norma Match, Super and Sub
OP
I’m on a wait list for 500 round boxes

If that wouldn't do, I think we all need to find another hobby... Nice!
OP
I felt that 5 round group might be my best of any I’ve ever shot (compared for distance)
That is a helluva group!
OP
Me and the gun.

Yup, Cleveland County Range, had AR15 to my right and a hunting rifle to my left.
@MadMardigan - have you tried ELEY Match? In my CZ 455 the ELEY Match works every bit as good as the Tenex - maybe even slightly better and it's a bit cheaper. Also, you mentioned you wanted to try the Lapua Center X - I tried some of that last month and it was every bit as good as the ELEY Match, maybe even a bit better. Of course, and as I'm sure you know - with .22, what's great in one rifle sucks in another even when they are the same brand/model/barrel/.... etc.
Look forward to seeing more of your testing - good shooting!

Yeah, I need to go through and get more ammo and settle in shooting more. But by @VA_GENTLEMAN first Match, I want to be ready.
Old school Remington has brought home some cash a few times in Conover .,Kinda hard to load on the stages where you're hanging upside down by one leg being waterboarded though ..Model 37 with 20x JW Fecker
