    JP 22lR Barrel Ammo Preferences?

    I didn't test anything at 50, so I'm not sure how well it performed at that distance. It didn't do that well for me at 100, unfortunately. So, I'm going to put the rest in the cupboard for testing in a future bolt gun.

    JP 22lR Barrel Ammo Preferences?

    Which Eley Semi-auto? Precision or Outlaw? I'd like to try Outlaw if I can find some. It's 42gr. like Contact and Force.

    JP 22lR Barrel Ammo Preferences?

    I know, but as I said, it was just a rough test with what I had on hand. Didn't get to the indoor 100 yard range, but did some testing on an outdoor 100 yard range. I cleaned the barrel from the last time to get out any copper. Only tested lead, wax coated ammo this time. Shot 10 fouler...

    JP 22lR Barrel Ammo Preferences?

    I'm hoping that it might do a bit better with some of this newer ammo that was designed specifically for semi-autos. I know that I'll eventually get another boltgun, so worst comes to worst this will become a carbine trainer.

    JP 22lR Barrel Ammo Preferences?

    Came across a public post on FB where someone shared a spreadsheet of all of the ammo he tested with one of these barrels. He tested on indoor and outdoor 50 yard ranges. Didn't say how many groups, or his cleaning procedures, etc... I processed it a bit. Here it is: Manufacturer Model...

    Doesn't seem to be many reviews out there for the new Eley stuff (semi-auto benchrest precision/outlaw, Contact, Force, Action, Action+) even in 10/22s...

    JP 22lR Barrel Ammo Preferences?

    Yeah, the 10/22 I build with a Kidd barrel would have shot circles around this. I've also owned a DPMS 22LR upper, and I don't think this shoots any better. It is a bit disappointing. I didn't expect it to keep up with a super tricked out 10/22, but I did expect it to do better than the less...

    JP 22lR Barrel Ammo Preferences?

    Picked up one of these (18" version) and built an upper for it on an Aero M4E1 Enhanced with a Seekins 15" MCSRV2. Made it out to the range on Saturday to try is out with some 22LR ammo I had on on hand. It was hovering around freezing and really gusty. I also wasn't seasoning the barrel for...

    Rifle Scopes Arken SH4 4-16x50 vs. 6-24X50

    I ended up ordering the 4-16x. In a few of the other threads, it seems to be implied that it has a better image.

    Rifle Scopes Arken SH4 4-16x50 vs. 6-24X50

    Normally the difference in size and weight between a 4-16x and a 6-24x is is pretty big, but given how similar these are in size, weight and price, I'm wondering if there's any advantage to the 4-16x beyond the travel and slightly bigger FOV at low end. Is the image better quality (comparing...

    Gunsmithing Milling Slide for Large Lathe?

    Actually sold one like that with the mill. I need the Z axis travel though, so it needs to have a leadscrew like the ones above.
