Are you referring to something "TooTaxed" said? im kinda lost on the first part of your answer.Tool is not correct in this case, literally.
I think your saying higher velocity centerfire loads are more accurate than lesser powered loads. I dont want to go into to that discussion too deeply but i always thought in centerfire the bench guys like HV and the IDP or what ever they are like the lesser loaded rounds for faster follow ups, Not so much about accuracy.
Anyhow thats off course of what im interested in.
But answer me this.
Why don't the BIG .22lr Match ammo makers make a HV target load thats as good as the SS loads? Quality isn't what kills it, They have the means to make very high quality HV rounds. But rather the hypersonic transition kills the idea and they just dont bother due to that.
But what i don't get is why NO one makes decently priced bulk SS ammo.
Eley and Aguila both make mid ranged ones and ill be trying those, I see a big ammo order for me this month from Ammuntintiontogo.com trying many new SS loads.
I also found Bricks of CCI SV 500rd for $25 at Dick's sporting goods ill be picking up also.
They also had some Winchester Black box Target bricks ive never seen i may try, But im not sure on the velocity but should be SS to call it "Target"
I know Federal AutoMatch wich is HV also doesn't shoot any better than thier 510 Champion imo and is alot more expensive.
The thing is if i break down and buy the Bolt action i want the HV ammo may not be an issue like it is now. It may handle it much better, And being a BA with a 5 round mag should slow my shooting of the expensive ammo way down also.
Some may agree and some may not, But im looking hard at the Savage MKII G wich is a lite barrel supposedly but looks more like a mid sized one in person and has a wooden stock for $209
But i could splurge and buy a CZ 452 at $400 or the Savage MKII BTV for $329.
But with all this ammo to buy and i need a decent benchrest which i found a good one locally for $50 i have alot of decisions on just what i can spend on the gun.
I think i can swap scopes around as i have an extra one i can slap on the 15/22 for a month until i can replace it.
But i know how to do it cheaply which i very well may have to. I dont like the idea of a $30 scope on my 15/22, Nor do i like shooting off bags that have Ziploc freezer bags inside them filled with kitty litter.
But ill do what i have to to get what i want, But here i think the MKII G will work just as well as a CZ452 at 50 yards.
