Default wolf and mossberg 715t at the range (only 25yrds)

my day did not start off too while. they where doing road work on the road to the range, when I got there (the first time) it was closed for cleaning. it is ok, I forgot ammo for my 22 and my range rod.

did all my shooting at 25yrds. i was looking for a load for my wolf and doing some accuracy test on my mossberg.
wolf
3 - 5 load rounds 20min cool down between sets
80grs, 85grs and 90grs of pyrodex rs (had 95grs lane tubes set up but did not use them you see why on the 90gr target)
homecast lee 452-255 (dropping at 260gr) ww.
harvester smooth side sabots
swab between every shot

80grs


85grs

top two targets I shot 5 I swear I did.
the group came apart at 90grs. so I did not move up to 95grs. it is unlike me to come home with full tubes. lol


mossberg 715t 22lr
I shot eley purple box, remington gold bullets and thunderbolts, federal lightings and automatch, wolf match target, cci blazers and mini mags, and mag reliability test on the win. 333 bulk pack

everytime I went to shoot the wolf ammo the wind picked up. grrr

10rds of each at 25yrds (I did zero the scope before starting this test)


2 targets of 25rds




I been having problems with jams with the 25rd mag that came with the gun. I bought a second 25rd mag and modified the one with the gun. 125rds of win 333 walmart bulk. only had one jam. 5 total jams for the day most came from both types of federal ammo I shot. one bad stove from remington gold bullets (only one dud so far from this box)

Good shooting! I know you're going to love that Wolf. Especially once you get a chance to see what it will do at 100 yards.

i gotta order some harvester sabots, I am really hoping I have a pack floating around. in theory, the is ready for 100 off the 25yrds. but I will still take it to 50yrds.

That is some nice shooting Corey. Adn with that .22 of yours, for the price of them and the way it shoots them, I'd go with the Blazers. The CCI's look like they did just as well as the Eley ammo.
I love it when I get a .22 that shoots the cheap ammo as well or better than the expensive stuff.

i am trying to narrow down what ammo to buy a case of. found a place online that sells it by the case free shipping.


quick note about the last target. the labels of what bullets that where shot got cut off.
target on the left, remington thunderbolts
target on the right, federal automatch.

I do have two more ammo i do want to try. the cci ar 22 which I can't find local right now. and the win m22 ammo. I can only find in bricks of 1000.
