Today I spent a fair amount of time at the shooting range, also known as @generikat's back yard, punching holes in paper from long range.
I got some excellent groups with the .22 LR. With iron sights at about 25 yards, I was able to place 10 shots in a 1" circle. Ammunition seemed to affect accuracy more than I expected. I tried a few different brands, and got groups of varying size and location in respect to the bullseye. One was a bit large and slightly left. Another grouped about an inch low.
So remember, if you change your ammunition, double-check your sight settings! And remember also that target practice is very therapeutic.
There is a big difference between .22 brands. I have 6 different in my case and the best is the varmint loads, but also the most expensive. I need to break out mine and get in some longer range work around here. I have 25, 50, and 75 yard targets/metal but I am really wanting to get my Dad's silhouettes to use.

My rifle had been sighted in with CCI Blazer 40 gr. LRN. CCI Mini-Mag was also good, as was Winchester. American Eagle (Federal) was less impressive.

The Peter's I have proved to be a pretty solid load with no FF or FE unlike the federal which is pretty shoddy most of the time. The best is the CCI Stinger Varmint. I have a load of the Blazer as well which have been better than the Federal for sure.
Sounds like a springtime shoot could be fun!

I don't know whether the ammo or the mag was to blame, but I did have a couple hiccups with the American Eagle.
