TRG,,, what weight bullets?

[ericf]

Those that reload for their TRG 22, what weight of bullets does the rifle seem to prefer? do you change to a different bullet for different distances?
(X upto 500 yards, Y beyond 500)
Thanks

Although I don't have a TRG, I would imagine you wouldn't be horribly off if you tried 168 or 175 SMK.. both would probably work for long and short range but I'd try the 175 after 500

I use 168 Sierra, 168 Nosler and 168 AMAX. I think the AMAX are best, but everything I put through the TRG shoots sub MOA. I have hit 1/2 MOA targets at 600 yards with the 168 AMAX, so I dont see the need to change for distance.

My 22 will shoot 155 thru 178 accuratly. It shoots 155's best 200-1000 and 175 SMK's from 100-200. Since I don't shoot under 300 often I use the the KISS method and use 155's exclusively.

I have had very good luck shooting 178 AMAX and 175 SMK with my TRG22. It seems to shoot just about anything well!

I use 155 Scenar for everything 100 - 1000.

Factory 167 Scenars are very accurate but I have not had cause to use them beyond 300.

Probably no huge suprise given the origin of rifle and ammo.

Re: TRG,,, what weight bullets?

I did that very test in my trg-22. I used 155,168,and 175 SMK's. I used IMR-4064 and Varget powders. At 100 and 200yrds(only 2 distances my range has) the 168's shot better, followed by 155 then 175's. I know this is pretty close range, but no group was over 3/4" at 200yrds. I do 10 shot groups for load testing. So when i visit my father in Idaho I will do the same test in his backyard range. We built a range to 900yrds.
By the way I did that same test with my FN-SPRA2,Kimber Advanced Tactical,and my Rem700P and got the same results. They also liked the 168 SMK. Hope this helps out.
