Guest stevo Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) mods if this is in wrong section please move evening all well just to carry on from last night when I posted about my .22WMR and how I changed the stock and mod , well I was not to sure about the changes I had made , im old school and I like a traditional looking rifle however I could not get on with my WMR while it was in sporter mode so-to-speak , so I stuck a thumbhole stock on it and a new mod , see below .... https://carousel.dropbox.com/photos/cc/c2BZixBCOQfeag1 well tonight like I said I would I went out for a test drive , I was using Hornaday V-max 30 grain @ 2200 fps which ALL my past WMRs have loved ,,, and I mean LOVED and CCI Maxi-Mag HP+V also 30 grain @ 2200 fps any how I could not believe how the two behaved sooo differently the first target was at 110 yrds ( which is the distance I zero at ) and for a bit of fun I tried to shoot out the bull , your see the hornaday as there the flyers around the edge , the CCI are the ones grouped slightly to the left ( there was a cross wind going right to left , quite strong at times ) I shot 5 V max and ' 6 CCIs https://carousel.dropbox.com/photos/cc/LMq3BxeEvAUmFnY I started to notice that the CCIs where doing much better then the Hornaday , so I stopped messing about as I didn't have much of the CCIs left . and dicided to to a proper group at range ....... so I went out to 150 yrds and did 5 shots of each , I must point out that these groups where rested and using a bi-pod , but I think you will agree my rifle is having a bit of a love affair with the CCIs . the CCIs are the group next to the 5 pence the other 5 are the Hornadays V-max https://carousel.dropbox.com/photos/cc/bwf1Y0uiErXN10u your opinions are more than welcome atb Edited June 24, 2015 by stevo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Pretty good by my reckoning. Mine like the same CCI but not before floating the barrel and better bedding! I tried a few H v-max at weekend and got similar to you also. How much hold did you need@150? U. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginger_Swingers Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Seems a pretty easy choice and a clear winner. That rifle is doing really well at 150yds with those CCI, you have to be happy with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest stevo Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Bloody paper , clay pigeons when are you going to post some proper shooting ! Nice group though , did you use your shotgun Haha it looked like with the vmax . I will be out with the shotgun tonight for a couple of hrs . Have found some milky barley with a big enough low patch for me to shoot and still be able to pick my birds . So fingers crossed i may see a bit of action . Seems a pretty easy choice and a clear winner. That rifle is doing really well at 150yds with those CCI, you have to be happy with that Very happy mucker .

Dekers Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 (edited) I have 500 of these still factory sealed at a competitive price if anyone is interested . My last WMR loved them but my latest prefers the Hornady 30g V-Max. Please PM if interested. Cheers PS They are 40g Edited July 29, 2015 by Dekers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 It is strange how rifles of the same calibre but different makes prefer one particular brand over another. I tried some 30g through my WMR Ruger just prior to selling it, and it was like a BB shotgun pattern, whereas 40g were bob on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
